(a) (1) Pursuant to a schedule provided to the Controller by the bank, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, the Controller shall transfer from Section A of the State School Fund and the Education Protection Account the amount of funds necessary to pay the warrants issued pursuant to paragraph (3) so that the effective cost of the lease financing for each fiscal year from 2013–14 to 2029–30, inclusive, provided to the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Statutes of 2009 shall be equal to the cost of providing an emergency General Fund cashflow loan to the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District for each fiscal year from 2013–14 to 2029–30, inclusive.
(2) For purposes of determining the cost of providing an emergency General Fund cashflow loan to the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District for fiscal years 2013–14 to 2029–30, inclusive, for the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District, the original interest rate is equal to the annual rate of return earned by the Pooled Money Investment Account for the applicable fiscal year, plus an additional 2 percent. This rate shall also apply to disbursements of the loan pursuant to Chapter 20 of the Statutes of 2009 that are subsequent to September 15, 2013.
(3) The executive director or chair of the bank shall periodically provide a schedule to the Controller and the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District of the actual amount of the difference between the annual cost of the lease financing compared to the annual cost of providing the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District with an emergency General Fund cashflow loan for each applicable fiscal year and the Controller shall issue warrants to the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District pursuant to the schedule. Payments to the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District shall occur only during the term of the loan for the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District and shall be made no sooner than the corresponding payments are made to the bond trustee under the lease financing for the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District.
(4) For purposes of making the computations required by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the warrants issued pursuant to paragraph (3) are “General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts,” as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 41202 for the fiscal years in which the warrants are issued and included within the “total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B,” as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 41202, for the fiscal years in which the warrants are issued.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the financing cost subsidies funded in this section not be deemed precedent nor in conflict with Chapter 20 of the Statutes of 2009.
