California Health and Safety Code Section 33492.71

CA Health & Safety Code § 33492.71 (2017)  

(a)  This section shall apply to each redevelopment project area created pursuant to this article with a redevelopment plan that contains the provisions required by Section 33670. All amounts calculated pursuant to this section shall be calculated after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, 33334.6, and 33492.76, and the amounts required to be paid by school and community college districts pursuant to Section 33492.78 have been deducted from the local tax increment funds received by the agency in the applicable fiscal year.

(b)  The payments made pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any amounts the affected taxing entities receive pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670. The agency shall reduce its payments pursuant to this section to the authority or an affected taxing entity by any amount the agency has paid, directly or indirectly, pursuant to Section 33445 and with the agreement of the authority or the affected taxing entity, or pursuant to any other provision of law other than this section for, or in connection with a public facility owned or leased by the authority or that affected taxing entity and with the agreement of the authority or that affected taxing entity.

(c)  Commencing in the first fiscal year in which a redevelopment agency receives tax-increment revenue from a project area created pursuant to this article, the agency shall pay the following amounts to the following entities, and the agency shall not be obligated to pay any additional sums to any taxing entities pursuant to Section 33607.5 and subdivision (b) of Section 33676:

(1)  (A)  Thirty-five percent of the tax-increment revenue received by the agency after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6, as modified by Section 33492.76, has been deducted each fiscal year shall be paid to the authority to finance in whole or in part, its responsibilities in providing for the reuse of Fort Ord.

(B)  Thirty-five percent of the tax-increment revenue received by the agency after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6 of, as modified by Section 33492.76, has been deducted each fiscal year shall be paid to or retained by the redevelopment agency of the city or county in which the project area is located, to finance, in whole or in part, its responsibilities in providing for the reuse of Fort Ord.

(C)  Of the amount referenced in subparagraph (B), each city may elect to receive from its agency, and the agency shall pay, an amount not to exceed 25 percent of the tax-increment revenue generated from a project area established pursuant to this article, to alleviate the financial burden and detriment incurred as a result of the adoption of the redevelopment plan in each year until the sixth fiscal year after the year in which the agency is first allocated one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or more in tax-increment revenues.

(D)  Upon dissolution of the authority, the amount allocated pursuant to this section shall continue to be paid to the accounts of the authority insofar as needed to pay principal and interest or other amounts on debt that was incurred by the authority. Funds that would be allocated pursuant to this section that exceed the amounts necessary to pay debt service on authority debt shall be divided as follows: 54 percent shall be allocated to the city or county redevelopment agency that establishes the project area; 38 percent shall be allocated to the county; and 8 percent shall be allocated to other affected taxing entities.

(2)  Twenty-five percent of the tax-increment revenue received by the agency after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6, as modified by Section 33492.76, has been deducted each fiscal year shall be paid to the county to alleviate the financial burden and detriment to the county incurred because of the establishment of the project area.

(3)  Not to exceed 5 percent of the tax-increment revenue received by the agency after the amount required to be deposited in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6, as modified by Section 33492.76, has been deducted each fiscal year shall be paid to other affected taxing entities as defined in Section 33492.27, but excluding the entities specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), and excluding school and community college districts, in order to alleviate the financial burden and detriment incurred by those affected taxing entities because of the establishment of the project area. If the total payments made pursuant to this paragraph are less than 5 percent of the tax increment revenue received by the agency pursuant to this article, the remaining portion of the revenue available as a result of this paragraph shall be allocated as follows: 37 percent to the agency, 37 percent to the authority, and 26 percent to the county.

(d)  Notwithstanding subdivision (c), through and including the second fiscal year after the certification date established pursuant to Section 33492.9, the amount of tax increment revenue the redevelopment agencies of the Cities of Marina and Seaside or the County of Monterey are required to pay to other entities as prescribed in paragraph (1) shall be modified as follows:

(1)  For each of those fiscal years, the board shall determine an amount equal to 100 percent of the revenue payable to the city or county establishing the project area from all ad valorem property taxes, including allocations of property tax increment revenues pursuant to subdivision (c), sales taxes, utility users taxes, business license taxes, real property transfer taxes, franchise taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and payments received as a result of vehicle and trailer coach registration, and cigarette and gasoline taxes except for payments received as a result of vehicle registrations because of military personnel occupying Fort Ord, attributable to the property, population, and economic activity that is within the jurisdiction of each local entity that has established a redevelopment project area pursuant to this subdivision and is also within the area of Fort Ord.

(2)  If the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (1) for a fiscal year is less than four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000), the redevelopment agency of the local entity that established the project area shall retain tax-increment revenue received because of the project area so that the sum of the retained tax-increment revenue, exclusive of required deposits to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and the amount of revenue determined pursuant to paragraph (1), equals four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000), but in no event exceeding 100 percent of the tax-increment revenue received for the project area for that fiscal year. Any tax-increment revenue received by the redevelopment agency that established the project area which exceeds the amount necessary to bring the total of the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), plus the tax increment retained by the agency pursuant to this subdivision to four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) shall be distributed pursuant to subdivision (c).

(e)  The board may increase or decrease the qualified minimum level of increment funding set in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) above four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000), if the board determines, based on substantial evidence, that the costs of providing police and fire protection services to the area of Fort Ord within the local agency’s redevelopment agency’s project area exceed or are less than this amount. In the event that any city which does not now have jurisdiction over territory within the area of Fort Ord subsequently annexes territory within the area of Fort Ord, the board may provide for a qualified minimum level of increment funding at a level that it determines, based on substantial evidence as to the cost of providing police and fire protection services to the area of Fort Ord within the local agency’s redevelopment agency’s project area is appropriate for a period not to exceed three years, but is under no obligation to do so.

(f)  Because this article provides for an allocation of tax-increment revenue arising from the redevelopment of the area of Fort Ord among the affected taxing entities for the purpose of alleviating any financial burden or detriment that is caused by the redevelopment plan, the consultations with the affected taxing entities shall not include the payment of supplemental moneys, but may only include the discussion of possible modifications in the redevelopment plan, including, but not limited to, the timing of projects, selection of projects, scope of projects, and the type of financing that is being considered for the projects.

(g)  (1)  All moneys received by the authority from a redevelopment agency shall be deposited in a separate fund from all other moneys of the authority.

(2)  The authority shall annually report on the total amount of moneys deposited into the fund during the year; the specific project and programs which were financed with the moneys, including amounts expended per project and program; and the beginning and ending balance of the fund.

(3)  The moneys in the fund shall be exclusively expended for the purpose of financing the development and redevelopment of basewide facilities as identified in the basewide public capital facilities plan adopted pursuant to Section 67675 of the Government Code.

(4)  The authority shall have an independent financial audit annually prepared on the fund in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and rules of governing auditing reports promulgated by the California Board of Accountancy.

(h)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no tax increment moneys, including moneys paid from a redevelopment agency to Fort Ord Reuse Authority or any affected taxing entity, shall finance the development or redevelopment of buildings owned or operated by the California State University or the University of California.
