BACKGROUND On March 26, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 13-16, initiating annexation proceedings for the North Saugus Annexation area with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). On May 7, 2013, the application was submitted to LAFCO. Upon approval by the City Council of the joint resolution, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will schedule a hearing to consider the joint resolution. Subsequent final steps include up to two LAFCO hearings for the annexation. The fust, a general public hearing anticipated for early 2014, followed by a "protest hearing," if necessary. This process will take several months to complete. The proposed joint resolution provides for a transfer of property tax revenue from the County to the City in the amount of $2,736 for the first fiscal year. For each fiscal year thereafter, the proposed joint resolution provides for the transfer of specified ratios of annual property tax increment attributable to each of the four (4) respective Tax Rate Areas. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS The City Council may direct staff to terminate annexation proceedings or direct other actions as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The service expenditures related to this annexation are offset by the revenue to be collected from within the annexation area. This annexation is fiscally neutral and will not have a negative impact on the City of Santa Clarita.
