ORANGE DEFEND THE ACTION FOR RECOVERY OF TAXES
PAID UNDER PROTEST FIT.RD BY W. T. GRANT COMPANY
AGAINST THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, THE CITY OF SANTA
ANA, AND OTHER DEFENDANTS
WHEREAS, the County of Orange has served as the tax collecting
agent for the City of Santa Ana real and personal property 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,
"W. T. GRANT COMPANY, a corporation, vs. THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, THE
CITY OF SANTA ANA, et al.", Case Number 158 658, by which action the
Plaintiff seeks to recover taxes paid under protest and for declaratory
relief; 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 separate
counsel, and §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 defendants;
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
Aha 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
Resolution to the County Counsel of Orange County.
