WHEREAS, Pursuant to the City's Fire Services and Emergency Medical Services
Agreement with OCFA, the City has agreed to pass through to OCFA any Structural Fire
Fund revenues that exist at the time the City annexes any Structural Fire Fund territory.
Such pass -through revenues shall be adjusted by any diminution or growth in value of the
annexed area occurring thereafter. It is the intention of the Parties that City annexations
have no adverse financial effect on the OCFA.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Pass -Through Amount. Commencing with Fiscal Year 2019/2020, and
continuing until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to paragraph 3, the City shall pass
through to the OCFA the equivalent of the City's portion of the Structural Fire Fund
revenues that would have been received by the OCFA had the City not annexed the
Territory. This pass -through amount shall be calculated annually using the following
formula:
Value x Basic Levy x SFF Rate = Pass -through Amount
Value = Net Total Assessed Value of the annexed territory as reported
by the County Assessor for the then current tax roll year.
Basic Levy = 0.01
SFF Rate = The Structural Fire Fund rate for Tax Rate Area(s) 89-013
or 89-022.
2. Payment to OCFA. OCFA will invoice the City twice annually for fifty
percent (50%) of the pass -through amount. The first invoice will be sent on or before
January 1 and the second invoice will be sent on or before May 1 each year. Payment by
City will be due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
3. Termination. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless
and until: (a) both Parties agree in writing to terminate this Agreement at the end of the
then current fiscal year•, or (b) the City ceases to be a member of the OCFA.
4. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only with the mutual
consent of the Parties by an instrument in writing.
5. Miscellaneous.
a. This Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner complementary to
the OCFA Amended Joint Powers Agreement and to the City's Fire Services and
1457116.1
Emergency Medical Services Agreement with the OCFA, in their current forms or as those
agreements may be further amended, extended, or replaced from time to time. In the event
of any conflict, the aforementioned agreements, in their current forms or as those
agreements may be further amended, extended, or replaced, shall govern.
b. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one
of the same document.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the
date and year first above written.
