Section 16058 Of Article 1. General Provisions From California Education Code >> Division 1. >> Title 1. >> Part 10. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 1.
16058
. No apportionment to a school district shall become final
unless: (a) the total amount of outstanding bonds of the district
exceeds 95 percent of the basic bond requirement of the district on
the date the conditional apportionment is made, or (b) if the total
amount of the bonds of the district outstanding and unpaid is within
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) of the basic bond requirement
of the district, as of the date on which the conditional
apportionment is made, or (c) the district has issued and sold
pursuant to this section, and as a condition to the initial
conditional apportionment, an amount of bonds equal to the total cost
of the project for which the apportionment was made, including
necessary contingencies. At the time the board makes a conditional
apportionment pursuant to Section 16024, it shall determine the total
amount of bonds which shall be issued and sold by the district, the
proceeds of which shall be applied toward the cost of the project for
which the apportionment is sought. The amount so determined by the
board shall be not less than the minimum amount required for the
apportionment to become final under this section. Any apportionment
made by the board pursuant to Section 16024 shall be conditioned upon
the approval and sale of the bonds by the district. The amount of
any apportionment for a construction project made as a consequence of
applying district bond proceeds toward the reduction of prior
apportionments pursuant to this section instead of applying the
district bond proceeds toward the cost of the construction project,
shall be excluded in determining the amount chargeable against the
apportionments authorized by the electorate of the district to be
accepted, expended and repaid. It is hereby declared that this
provision, added by the amendment to this section enacted at the 1958
First Extraordinary Session of the Legislature, is not intended as a
change in the law, but rather as a declaration of existing law.
Any provision of this code to the contrary notwithstanding,
whenever the electors of a district, subsequent to any requirement by
the board for the sale of bonds in connection with an apportionment,
authorize the issuance of bonds for any purpose for which an
apportionment could lawfully be made, the authorization shall, in
addition to the purposes specified, be deemed to constitute the
consent of the electors to apply the proceeds of the bonds so
required to be sold by the board toward the reduction of any
apportionment previously made to the district. Any bond funds used to
reduce any apportionment pursuant to this section shall be
transferred to the State School Building Aid Fund and shall be
available for reapportionment by the board. The amount so determined
by the board shall be not less than the minimum amount required for
the apportionment to become final under this section. Any
apportionment made by the board pursuant to Section 16024 shall be
conditioned upon the approval and sale of the bonds by the district.
No apportionment to a school district under this chapter shall
become final, nor any agreement authorized by Section 16042 be
entered into unless at an election called by the governing board of
the district, two-thirds of the qualified electors of the district
voting thereat have authorized the governing board to accept, expend
and repay as provided in this chapter and apportionment under the
provisions thereof or, with respect to the agreement, to obligate the
district in an amount equal to or in excess of the maximum amount
which the district could be obligated by the agreement, or by any act
of its governing board or for which it is responsible, contemplated
or permitted thereby. The election shall be called, held and
conducted in the same manner as are elections to authorize the
issuance of school district bonds, except that the ballot shall
contain substantially the following words:
