SANTA ANA CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 72-74
REQUESTING THAT THE COUNTY OF ORANGE DEFEND
THE ACTION FOR THE RECOVERY OF TAXES PAID
UNDER PROTEST FILED BY MOBILEASE CORP., A
CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, AGAINST THE COUNTY
OF ORANGE AND THE CITY OF SANTA ANA
WHEREAS, the County of Orange has served as the tax collecting
agent for the City of Santa Ana ad valorem taxes under an agreement
with said City and said relationship has existed for many years last
past; and
WHEREAS, an action has been filed in the Superior Court of the
State of California in and for the County of Orange, entitled "MOBI-
LEASE CORP., a California Corporation, vs. COUNTY OF ORANGE, CITY
OF SANTA ANA, a municipal corporation, CITY OF COSTA MESA, a municipal
corporation" Case Number 193014, by which action the plaintiff seeks
to recover taxes paid under protest; and
WHEREAS, the County Counsel's office of Orange County is ably
staffed and has deputies who are familiar with assessment procedures
and tax collection procedures, and have experience in actions for
refund of taxes paid under protest; and, in the opinion of the City
Council of the City of Santa Ana, the defense in the above-entitled
action can best be handled by one office under single direction
rather than having the defendants individually represented by sepa-
rate counsel, and Section 5103 of the Revenue and Taxation Code of
the State of California authorizes the County of Orange, at its option,
to provide for the defense of actions of this nature through the office
of the County Counsel for cities that are included as defendant;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That the City Council of the
City of Santa Ana hereby requests the Honorable Board of Supervisors
of the County of Orange to provide the defense for the City of Santa
Ana in the above referenced matter by and under the supervision of
the County Counsel of Orange County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the Clerk of the Council is hereby
directed to deliver a certified copy of this Resolution to the Board
of Supervisors of Orange County and a certified copy of this resolu-
tion to the County Counsel of Orange county.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
