Basically stated the Santa Fe Railway is taxed for their properties
on a unit block. Lands removed from this unit such as the City is
using, is then taxed by the board of equalization. This then,
places a dual tax on the property. The assessment placed by the
board of equalization amounts to $1,835.44 and covers the depot,
the alley parking and Rotary Park. After discussions with Mr. Bentley
I am recommending the payment of these taxes by the City.
I have also found that, specifically, the City of Hemet does pay
this tax. Also, Mr. Bentloy indicates that other cities are so paying,
Also recommended is that the Council direct a letter to the State
Board of Equalization suggesting the forgiving of taxes on non-
revenue producing parcels leased from the Santa Fe Railway to
California cities.

City Manager's Recommendation
It is my understanding that there has been considerable discussion
on this matter, but I am now advised by the Assistant to the City
Manager that he has made several contacts and it is his belief that
the City will be required to pay the taxes on the city leased
AT&SF property. All attempts on his part to have the payment of
these taxes by the City waived have not been fruitful and the
Assistant to the City Manager has recommended that the taxes be
paid and the City Manager concurs.

Assistant to the City Manager
City of Carlsbad

Carlsbad, California 92008
Dear Mr. Baldwin:
We note that we have received no response from the City
to our letter of February 21 and tracer of April 2 concerning the
status of supplemental agreements amending contracts, Santa Fe's
Nos. 57016 and 68228, covering sites which the City has under lease
from Santa Fe.
I am sure you can understand that we feel it essential
that this matter be resolved as quickly as possible. Therefore,
while we have attempted to answer all questions that have been
raised, I am wondering if there are additional questions that you
might have which are responsible for the delay in completing this
matter.
If this is the case, perhaps a meeting would help to
clarify this matter. Mr. Bentley will be pleased to come to
Carlsbad to meet with you and would suggest either June 19 or 20
at 10:00 a.m. Please advise which of these dates would be satis-
factory to you. In the event neither date is satisfactory, would
appreciate you suggesting a date and time that would be satisfac-
tory.
Yours very truly,
D. G. Ruegg, General Manager
