resulting from Annexation of property designated as Annexation 40-161 (4-127), local agency Formation Commission Designation 2023-06, to the Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 40, Antelope Valley.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the Revenue and Tax Code (Sections 99 and 99.01) any time there is a jurisdictional change that results in a special district providing a new service not previously provided to an area, the law requires the governing bodies of all local agencies that receive a portion of that property tax determined by resolution the amount of the annual tax increase to be transferred to that special district. The existing tax revenue based on the property’s assessed value received by agencies will not change.
This resolution only affects the percentage of future revenue agencies would receive based on the increased property valuation assessment.
DISCUSSION
In the attached letter dated October 23, 2023, the Los Angeles County Waterworks District has requested the City of Palmdale enter into a tax-sharing agreement for the annexation of parcel number 3170-018-081, as shown in Exhibit B. The proposed development is located at the northeast corner of Columbia Way (Avenue M) and 30 th Street East, and the developer has requested annexation into the Los Angeles County Waterworks District. This annexation is a condition of the development’s entitlement and is required before receiving water service.
The execution of the attached Joint Resolution will approve the City's tax-sharing agreement for the annexation of the subject property into the County Waterworks District No. 40 boundary. All public agencies and special districts receiving property tax revenues for these parcels execute and are party to the same Joint Resolution.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. CC 2024-006 authorizing the Mayor to execute the Joint Tax Sharing Resolution entitled Annexation No. 40-161 with Los Angeles County Waterworks Districts No. 40 for the parcel.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current property tax share ratio for the City of Palmdale within this area of said property is 0.066294047 (6.6294%). This Council action will allocate 0.000335226 (0.0335%) of any future tax increase to the County Waterworks District No. 40. This results in a net City tax share rate of 0.065958821 (6.5959%). For example, a tax increase based on the assessed property value for these parcels will generate an additional $100 in total property tax. The City would receive an additional $6.5959 of this increase, and the County Waterworks District No. 40 would receive $0.0335. This Report to Mayor and City Council

NEGOTIATED TAX EXCHANGE RESOLUTION RESULTING FROM ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY WATERWORKS DISTRICT NO. 40,

Attached to the Joint Tax Resolution are eight worksheets (Exhibits C to J) for Annexation 40-156 (34-45) listing the share of the annual tax increments to be exchanged between the District and affected taxing agencies. The tax-sharing ratios listed in the worksheets were calculated using a formula approved by the County of Los Angeles Auditor-Controller and County Counsel. Column 5 of the exhibits identifies the portion of the current tax share each affected agency will have to transfer to the District as a result of the proposed annexation.
Ms. Lynn Glidden

City Council Staff Report
DATE: JANUARY 10, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: APPROVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BY AND
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALMDALE AND THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES TO COLLABORATE ON WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS LOCATED WITHIN WATERWORKS DISTRICT 40
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve Agreement No. A-8677, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) by and between the City of Palmdale (CITY) and the County of Los Angeles (County); and,
2. Authorize the City Manager or their designee to execute the Agreement, including minimal and/or non-substantiative changes.
BACKGROUND
Los Angeles County Waterworks District 40 (LACWD) supplies water to approximately 215,000 people throughout the Antelope Valley , including a portion of the City of Palmdale. The City has been working closely with LACWD to identify necessary infrastructure projects needed to support residential, commercial and industrial developments throughout the city. There are approximately 12 million square feet of new industrial space and over 5,000 new single-family and multifamily residential units in the development pipeline . Without significant improvements to LACWD’s existing water infrastructure network , new development projects that will create thousands of new permanent jobs and temporary construction jobs for the community will not be able to move forward.
DISCUSSION
The City will enter into a n MOU with the County to support the construction of approximately $23 million dollars worth of infrastructure improvement projects. Projects include the construction of water wells, pump stations, storage tanks , and water distribution lines. Without an approved MOU, LACWD will not issue new water Will - Serve letters to allow development to continue until after needed infrastructure projects are completed. The planning, design, and permitting for these projects are anticipated Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: Agreement No. A-8677
January 10, 2024
to take several years to complete. This delay would be detrimental to several time- sensitive projects, including a new food assembly and distribution center scheduled to begin construction in a few weeks.
Under the MOU, water infrastructure improvements will be constructed by project applicants as new projects are approved, or as an alternative, an in-lieu fee will be collected to fund the improvements. Staff is also working with LACWD to create a development agreement and reimbursement agreements that will establish a more detailed project list, phasing plan, and mechanism for developers to potentially recover a share of the improvement costs as additional development comes on board.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal III: Invest in infrastructure to improve community livability.
