ATTEST: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF T~ COUNTYOF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BYI Chairman Clerk ATTEST: E. L. Vegely Clerk CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA BY Fred C. Rowland Mayor (SEAL). The foregoing agreement is hereby approved. Dated this day of , 1938. Controller of the State of California By Deputy PLAN NO. ~ PLAN OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA COVERING THE SECOND PURCHASE OF TAX DELINQUENT LOTS Plan of the City of Santa Ana, Orange County, California, to return to the City Tax rolls and to the County Tax Rolls, One Itundred forty-six (146) lots, all within the City limits of the said City of Santa Aha, and being the property as listed on Exhibit "A" as attached to a proposed agreement dated January 1Vth, 1938, between the Board of Supervisors of Orange County, California, and the City Council of said City of Santa Ana, California. At the present time all such lots or parcels of property as shown on said Exhibit "A" have been deeded to the State of California, and are at present completely off of the assessment rolls of the City of Santa Aha and the County of Orange, and will produce NO TAX revenue until some effective plan is worked out to get the taxes and asses sm~ent~'brought up to date and the property back into the hands of private owners, who will pay the current taxes and assessments as they bec~me due. The group of lots included in this plan ~re all located in Tract No, 597. This tract was subdivided in 1923 and only a small percentage of the lots sold under contract. During 1928 the sewers were placed in this tract under Improvement District No. 130, and in 1929 certain lots facing St. Gertrude Place were included in Improve- ment District No. 154 covering lights in the Southwest District. Both of these improvements were placed under th6 1915 Bond Act, 1/10 of such improvement bonds maturing each year and collected with the general taxes. Came the depression and nearly all the lots sold under contract defaulted. At present 146 lots of the 223 lots in the tract are deeded to the State of California for non-payment of taxes and assessments. It has been necesssry to levy annually a rate of ten cents per hundred, assessed value, on all property within the City limits, to pay the amounts due under the various 1915 Act Bonds of the City of Santa Ana now in default. The successful working of this plan will place these 148 lots back on the assessment rolls of both the City and the County and should help eliminate the ten cent levy now required to service the delinquent 1915 Act Bonds. e This plan in general is as follows: (a) The City of Santa Ana will purchase from the County of Orange, under Section 3897d of the Political Code and amendments ~ereto, the tax title now held by the State of California, subject, however, to the approval of the State Controller. At this point the state tax title and the city tax lien will both be vested in the Cit~ of Santa Ana.
