Consider recommendations regarding updating charges for collection of special assessments, special taxes and other charges, as follows: a) Adopt a Resolution updating the charges for the collection of special assessments, special taxes and other charges that are collected with annual property tax bills from $1.00 to $2.00 per assessment, special tax or other charge per parcel, and establishing a correction charge of $25 per correction for corrections made after the assessments are added to tax bills; b) Authorize the Auditor-Controller to increase the billing/collection and correction charges in an amount not-to-exceed $1.00 annually if it is determined that an increase is necessary to recover the cost of such service; and c) Determine that the above actions are not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because they are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
