A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA REQUESTING THAT THE COUNTY OF
ORANGE DEFEND THE ACTION FOR RECOVERY OF TAXES
PAID UNDER PROTEST FILED BY THE XEROX CORPORA-
TION AGAINST THE COUNTY OF ORANGE~ THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA~ AND VARIOUS OTHER DEFENDANTS
WHEREAS, the County of Orange has served as the tax
collecting agent for the City of Santa Ana ad valorem 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 "XEROX CORPORATION vs. COUNTY OF ORANGE, a body
corporate and politic, CITY OF SANTA ANA, a municipal corpora-
tion'' and various other defendants, case number 190,273, by
which action the plaintiff seeks to recover taxes paid under
protest; 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 de-
fense 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 Section 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 defendant;
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 Ana 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.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
