TOLLING AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF BURLINGAME
AND COUNTY OF SAN MATEO REGARDING THE CITY'S
CLAIM FOR RETURN OF EXCESS PROPERTY TAX
ADMINISTRATION FEE
WHEREAS, all of the cities in San Mateo County are joined in a dispute with the County of San
Mateo for the return of excess property administration fees which the County began deducting from each
city's property tax allocations in the 2006-2007 fiscal year; and,
WHEREAS, the City, like all the cities in San Mateo County, has filed a claim against the County
for return of these additional property tax collection fees; and,

currently being litigated in Los Angeles, the cities and San Mateo County have agreed to suspend any
litigation until such time as the Court has concluded the Los Angeles case; and
WHEREAS, this 2008 tolling agreement between the County and the cities has extended the time
for the cities to file suit against the County until July 2012 by which time it is expected that the Los Angeles
litigation will be completed and resolution of the issue here in San Mateo County can occur; and,
WHEREAS, this amendment to the tolling agreement adds the city's claim for the 2008-2009
fiscal year Property Tax Administration Fee;
follows:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame as
