2. The special tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that the special tax may be collected at a
different time or in a different manner as specified in resolutions of this City Council. The special
tax shall be subject to the same penalties and procedures, sale and lien priority in case of
delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes. In the event of delinquent special taxes, the City

provisions of Section 53356.1 of the Act shall apply.

of the appropriate officers and agents of the City, to implement the provisions of the Special Tax
Formula and to prepare each year, without further action of this City Council, the special tax roll
for the District and to provide, as necessary, information to the Orange County Auditor in the
form, and in the proper time, necessary to effect the proper billing and collection of the special
tax on the secured property tax roll of the County.
4. The appropriate officers and agents of the City and of the County of Orange are
authorized to make adjustments to the special tax roll prior to the final posting of the special
taxes to the County tax roll each year, as may be necessary to achieve a correct match of the

property tax bills.
5. If for any cause any portion of this ordinance is found to be invalid, or if the
special tax is found inapplicable to any particular parcel by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
balance of this ordinance, and the application of the special tax to the remaining parcels, shall not
be affected. This Ordinance supercedes Ordinance No. 855, adopted by the City Council on
