XI. SUMMARY OF CONSULTATIONS WITH AFFECTED TAXING AGENCIES Pursuant to Section 33352(n) of the CRL, the Report to the City Council must include an analysis of the Fiscal Officer's Report and must include a summary of consultations of the Agency, or attempts to consult by the Agency, with each of the affected taxing agencies. If any of the affected taxing agencies have expressed written objections or concerns with the proposed Amendments as part of these consultations, the Agency shall include a response to these concerns, additional information, if any, and, at the discretion of the Agency, proposed or adopted mitigation measures. A. THE REPORT OF THE COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER AND ANALYSIS THEREOF The CRL provides that when a project area which proposes to use tax increment revenue is initially adopted or when it is being amended to add territory to the project, the county officials charged with the responsibility of allocating taxes to redevelopment agencies shall prepare and deliver a report containing information on the allocation of tax revenue in the project area (or amendment area) to taxing agencies and the redevelopment agencies. The proposed Amendments do not include adding territory to the Project Areas. Therefore, a fiscal officer's report prepared by the Orange County Auditor-Controller's Office is not required as part of the adoption process for the proposed Amendments. B. SUMMARY OF CONSULTATION WITH AFFECTED TAXING ENTITIES Section 33328 of the CRL requires the Agency, prior to the publication of a notice of the joint public hearing on the proposed Amendments, to consult with each affected taxing agency with respect to the Amendments' impact on the allocation of tax increment revenues. On March 2, 2004, the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission recommended that the Agency approve the Preliminary Report and receive the proposed Amendments. Subsequently, on March 15, 2004, the Agency, by Resolution No. 2004-04, accepted the draft Amendments and authorized transmittal of the draft Amendments to the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana and all affected taxing entities (see Appendix E). Also, on March 15, the Agency, by Resolution No. 2004-03 approved the Preliminary Report and authorized transmittal of the Preliminary Report to all affected taxing entities (Appendix F). Agency staff, on March 16, 2004, sent the proposed Amendments and Preliminary Report and related cover letter to all affected taxing entities as part of the consultation process for the proposed Amendments (see Appendix E for example letter, the proposed Amendments, and the mailing list). The letter urged all affected taxing entities to contact the Agency regarding questions concerning the proposed Amendments. To date, the Agency has not received any inquires or comments from the affected taxing entities on the proposed Amendments.
