BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ORANGE COUNTY REQUESTING
EXCLUSION OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF SANTA
ANA, CALIFORNIA, FROM THE LEVY OF ANY ORANGE
COUNTY TAX TO PROVIDE STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION
AND MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT
W-~EREAS, the City of Santa Ana is a municipal corporation now
existing as such by virtue of a charter granted under the laws of
the State of California, and said City lies in the County of Orange
in the State of California; and
WHEREAS, the California Government Code §25643 provides that
the Board of Supervisors shall except from the levy of any tax for
structural fire protection all property within a city petitioning
therefor where the petition is supported by a resolution adopted by
the city council which makes certain findings.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the
City of Santa Ana hereby finds and declares that Santa Ana is an
incorporated city which has in operation and existence an organized
fire department that, at the time of adopting this Resolution and
for many decades last passed, has been adequately staffed by competent,
well-trained personnel under outstanding leadership, equipped with
modern fire fighting equipment of all necessary kinds, and sufficiently
supplied with fire fighting chemicals, which said Department has
access to the Santa Ana water system maintained at high pressure; that
the excellence and adequacy of said Fire Department, its equipment,
chemicals, and personnel and the water system of the City, including
the reservoirs and mains and the pressure of the water supply for
fire fighting purposes, have been determined by the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, Committee on Fire Prevention and Engineering
Standards, to be among the best in the State of California and the
best in Orange County, California, so that Santa Ana now has the lowest
fire insurance premium rate existing anywhere in this area; that Santa
Ana is now providing adequate structural fire protection to all
property within the incorporated limits of the City and that no
additional benefit in fire protection is or would be received or
required by such property from structural fire protection given by
the County of Orange.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That said City Council hereby
authorizes and directs that a petition be presented to the Honorable
Board of Supervisors of Orange County, California, attached to and
