(a) The executive director of the commission shall review and evaluate each claim submitted pursuant to this article and shall determine whether:
(1) The costs claimed meet the requirements of this article.
(2) The costs claimed are not paid for or reimbursed from any other source of state or federal funding.
(3) The claimed costs are reasonable for the implementation of a certified local coastal program.
(b) The executive director of the commission shall submit to the Controller, on behalf of each claimant local government, all claims submitted pursuant to this section together with his or her recommendation whether the Controller should allow or deny, in whole or in part, the claim. A copy of each claim shall also be sent to the claimant local government at the time such claim is submitted to the Controller. The executive director’s recommendation shall be based on his or her determinations made pursuant to this article. If the executive director fails to make a recommendation by the time claims are required to be submitted to the Controller, as provided in subdivision (b) of Section 30352, the executive director shall be deemed to have recommended approval of the claim.
(c) The provisions of Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code shall apply to claims filed pursuant to this article; provided, however, that where a conflict between Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and this article occurs, such conflict shall be resolved in a manner that best carries out the purposes of this article. The Controller shall apply the criteria of this article in determining whether to allow or deny, in whole or in part, any such claim and shall consider the recommendations of the executive director of the commission.
