The County pays to the City the equivalent amount of money that would be raised by applying that portion of the City tax rate re- quired for operation of the fire department for the previous year's budget to the assessed value of the property to be covered by the agreement. This method is used to compute the amount charged the County so that the County areas would pay approximately the same amount for fire protection provided by the City Fire Department as City property owners must pay. Due to the passage of SB 90 the County cannot continue to pay the amount required under the agreement unless an election is held to allow an increase in the tax rate of 06.6 cents~ Mr. Edgar stated that the staff recommends that the City Council authorize the staff to notify the County that the City would not provide fire protection services to the County areas included in the contract at a cost less than is required for' Pleasanton property owners to pay for the same service. It was moved by Councilman Reid, and seconded by Councilman Mori, that the staff be instructed to notify the County that the City will not provide fire protection services to County areas included in the contract at a cost less than what the normal computation would establish.
