§ 30054 Public Safety Funding Allocation

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about money given to cities and counties for public safety (like police and fire departments) during the years 1993-94, 1994-95, and 1995-96.
  • •The money comes from a special fund called the Public Safety Augmentation Fund.
  • •The amount each city gets is calculated based on how much money they lost when some of their money was moved to schools.
  • •Some counties (like Fresno, Alameda, etc.) have special rules for how the money is split.

Example

Imagine your city lost $100,000 because some money was moved to schools. Another city in your county lost $200,000. The county has $300,000 in the Public Safety Augmentation Fund.

The city that lost $100,000 would get a part of the $300,000 based on how much they lost compared to the other city. So, they might get $100,000 of the $300,000.

(a) For the 1993–94, 1994–95, and 1995–96 fiscal years only, the amounts allocated pursuant to Sections 30052 and 30053 shall be available only for public safety services, and shall be allocated in each qualified county to local agencies as provided in subdivision (b).

(2) Except as provided in paragraph (3) or (4), for each of the 1993–94, 1994–95, and 1995–96 fiscal years only, the augmentation fund described in paragraph (1) shall be allocated among the cities in the county that provide public safety services as follows: (A) The auditor shall determine an allocation factor for each city within the county, the numerator of which shall be the amount of revenue shifted from that city to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year, less the amount of vehicle license fee revenues allocated to the city pursuant to Section 11005.4 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year, and the denominator of which shall be the amount of revenue shifted from all cities in the county and from the county to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year, less the amount of vehicle license fee revenues allocated to the county and all cities in the county pursuant to Section 11005.4 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year. (B) The auditor shall multiply the amount in the augmentation fund by the allocation factor determined in subparagraph (A) for each city. (C) The allocation factor to be used for each city for the 1993–94 fiscal year may not result in an allocation that exceeds 50 percent of the difference between the following amounts: (i) The amount by which the city’s allocation of property tax revenues was reduced pursuant to Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year. (ii) The amount of vehicle license fee revenues allocated to the city pursuant to Section 11005.4 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year.

(B) The auditor shall multiply 5 percent of the amount in the augmentation fund established pursuant to paragraph (1) by the allocation factor determined for each city in subparagraph (A).

(C) This paragraph applies only to the Counties of Fresno, Kings, Merced, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo. (D) This paragraph shall apply to a particular county described in subparagraph (C) 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 paragraph (2). (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), for each of the 1993–94, 1994–95, and 1995–96 fiscal years only, the amount in the augmentation fund established pursuant to paragraph (1) for the County of Alameda shall be allocated to the cities in the County of Alameda that provide public safety services as follows: (A) 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 1993–94 fiscal year, and the denominator of which shall be the amount of revenue shifted from all cities in the County of Alameda to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section 97.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1993–94 fiscal year. (B) The auditor shall multiply 6.1 percent of the amount in the augmentation fund established pursuant to paragraph (1) by the allocation factor determined for each city in subparagraph (A).
