This special meeting of the Common Council is called to
order by His Honor Sig Sanchez.
Present: Courtland M. Rush, Everett Wentworth, Kenneth
L. Petersen, Charles Gallo and Wilford E. Jordan.
Absent: Councilman Carl W. Pate.
The Mayor states the reason for holding this meeting is
because the annexed territories since 1954 have been paying a
tax assessment to the Gilroy Rural Fire District and the Council
must take official action to remove this taxation from these
districts. Discussion is held on this subject. City Clerk Carr
is asked to read a copy of the letter dated September 15, 1950,
from the County Council, Spencer M. Williams, by Selby Brown,Jr.,
Deputy County Council, addressed to Mr. Hans Harder, Sr. Map
Draftsman, Office of County Assessor, County of Santa Clara, San
Jose, California, which explained that resolutions must be adopted,
as governed in the Health and Safety Code, section 14540 and enact-
ed in 1937 and amended in 1957, prior to September l~, 1959 re-
questing exemption from the Rural Fire District taxations other-
wise the City would need to obtain petitions initiated by free-
holders in the district or by a majority of voters at a City elec-
tion as outlined in Section 14560 of the Health and Safety Code
amended by the 1959 Regular Session of the State Legislature.
There is a general discussion by the Council on the letter.
