WHEREAS, the State Legislature has adopted a statutory
pattern indicating a clear intent that taxes for the support of
structural fire protection services must be borne by the property
benefited by such services; and
WHEREAS, the property owners of the City of Elsinore
have been subjected to taxation either direct or indirect for
structural fire protection provided in unincorporated areas of
the County of Riverside while at the same time said property owners
are taxed to support a City fire department which provides ade-
quate structural fire protection for all areas of the City of
Elsinore; and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature has provided a means
whereby the City Council may petition the Board of Supervisors for
relief from this inequitable condition;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, FOUND AND DETERMINED as
follows:
1. The City of Elsinore has an organized fire department
in operation and existence which is at this time providing adequate
structural fire protection for all property within the City of
Elsinore; and
2. No additional benefit in fire protection is received
or required by such property from structural fire protection given
by the County of Riverside.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City of Elsinore by this resolution
and in accordance with Section 25643 of the Government Code of the
State of California hereby petitions the Board of Supervisors of
the County of Riverside to exempt all property located in the City
of Elsinore from the levy of any tax for the support of structural

The City of Elsinore by this resolution further petitions
the Board of Supervisors requesting said Board to comply with all
provisions of Title 3 Division 2 Article 2 of the Government Code
of the State of California and related code sections by making the
necessary findings and budgetary allocations to insure that the
property owners of the City of Elsinore will not be subjected to
double taxation for structural fire protection.

ther direct the City Clerk to serve a certified copy of this
resolution upon the Board of Supervisors of the County of Riverside
prior to July 1, 1965, and if possible, before March 1, 1965, in
