A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA ADOPTING A FEE TO REIMBURSE THE
CITY FOR A NEWLY IMPOSED STATE MANDATED
CHARGE ON ENTERPRISE ZONE TAX HIRING
VOUCHERS
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The City Council hereby, finds, determines and declares as follows:
A. In June of 1993, the City of Santa Ana was designated a State Enterprise
Zone. Over 7,100 acres of the City lie within the Enterprise Zone.
B. As part of the Enterprise Zone program, businesses which hire eligible
employees may qualify for state income tax credits of tens of thousands of dollars per
employee hired. To obtain such a credit, the business must be issued a tax hiring
voucher.
C. Over the last four years, the City has approved almost 10,000 applications
for hiring tax credit vouchers by City businesses located in the City's Enterprise Zone.
D. In large part because of its active hiring tax voucher program, the City of
Santa Ana has been recognized as the top Enterprise Zone performer in the state
E. As of October 1, 2004, the City will be required by a newly adopted State
law to pay to the State of California a $10.00 charge for each voucher application
submitted to the City for processing. It is appropriate that this charge be paid by the
applicant seeking a significant income tax credit rather than by the City's taxpayers in
general.
Section 2: A $10.00 per application fee is hereby established for each person
applying for a Enterprise Zone Hiring Tax Credit. This fee will be collected beginning
October 1, 2004.
Section 3. That without further action of the City Council this fee shall be
incorporated into the City's Miscellaneous Fee Schedule.
ADOPTED this 20th day of September, 2004.
