For the 1996â97 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, each county shall establish a Public Safety Augmentation Fund in the county treasury to receive those revenues allocated to the county pursuant to Sections 30052 and 30053. Amounts deposited in this fund shall be expended exclusively to fund public safety services, and for that purpose shall be allocated among the county and the cities in the county that provide public safety services, as follows: (a) In allocating revenues from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund to cities, the auditor shall, except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b), (c), (d), or (e), comply with all of the following: (1) For the 1997â98 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the auditor shall allocate to each city from the countyâs Public Safety Augmentation Fund the same percentage of the total amount of moneys deposited in that fund that was allocated to that city for the 1995â96 fiscal year. (2) (A) In accordance with the payment schedule set forth in subparagraph (B), the auditor shall, commencing with September 1997, allocate to each city that cityâs reconciliation amount if, and only if, the reconciliation amount is a positive number. For purposes of this subparagraph, a cityâs reconciliation amount means the difference between the following amounts: (i) The amount that would have been allocated to that city from the countyâs Public Safety Augmentation Fund for the 1996â97 fiscal year, if moneys had been so allocated to that city using the same percentage of the total amount of money deposited in that fund that was allocated to that city for the 1995â96 fiscal year. (ii) The amount that was in fact allocated from the countyâs Public Safety Augmentation Fund to that city for the 1996â97 fiscal year. (B) The auditor shall allocate each cityâs reconciliation amount to that city in 36 equal and consecutive monthly installments, commencing on September 1, 1997. Each of these installments shall be paid at the same time as the regular monthly allocation made to that city pursuant to this section, and no interest shall be paid on any of these installments. However, if directed by the board of supervisors, the county auditor may expedite payment of the installments. (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the amount in the augmentation fund established pursuant to this section in each county described in paragraph (3) shall be allocated to the cities in that county that provide public safety services, as follows: (1) The auditor shall determine an allocation factor for each city within the county, the numerator of which shall be the amount of the revenue shifted from that city to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993â94 fiscal year, and the denominator of which shall be the amount of revenue shifted from all cities in the county to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993â94 fiscal year. (2) The auditor shall multiply 5 percent of the amount in the augmentation fund established pursuant to this section by the allocation factor determined for each city in paragraph (1). The amount so computed for each city shall be allocated to that city. (3) This subdivision applies only to the Counties of Fresno, Kings, Merced, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo. (4) This subdivision shall apply to a particular county described in paragraph (3) only if the total amount allocated under this paragraph to all of the cities therein that provide public safety services is less than the amount that would otherwise be allocated to all of those cities pursuant to subdivision (a).
