WHEREAS:
(a) Under the provisions of Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 441-454 and
480-484, a County Assessor has authority to gather confidential information from
property owners necessary and relevant to the determination of the fair market

a County Assessor may disclose confidential appraisal data received from taxpayers
to other Assessors if they deem such information relevant and necessary for the
accurate appraisal of property; and
(c) The participating Assessors in Counties containing oil, gas and geothermal energy-
producing properties regularly exchange relevant valuation information on an
individual basis and are in need of a means to gather, coordinate and analyze sales
and property information data from oil, gas and geothermal energy-producing
property sales throughout California. This is necessary to provide individual
Assessors an appropriate data base of sales and an analysis of the income
projections, cost projections, capital improvement projections and discount rates
used in such sales to assist in the determination of the fair market value of such
Page 1 of 18
properties in their respective Counties while maintaining the confidentiality of
taxpayer property and business information as required by Revenue and Taxation
Code Sections 408, 451 and 481; and

and Taxation Code Sections 408, 451, 481 and 674; and
(e) Contractor is willing to use its ability and expertise to help the Participating
Assessors gather relevant sales information concerning oil, gas and geothermal
energy-producing properties and to provide analysis of such transactions. This

Counties. Contractor has outlined a plan of action to gather and analyze relevant
sales for the Assessors, under the coordinating auspices of the Assessor's
Association, and to deliver the results of the sales analysis to the individual

the information and analysis among themselves for purposes of property tax
appraisals, to maintain necessary taxpayer confidentiality as required by Revenue
and Taxation Code Sections 408,451,481 and 674,and to share,on a proportionate
