16086
. The provisions of this section shall apply: (1) to any
school district which has succeeded to and become vested with all
duties, powers, purposes, jurisdiction, and responsibility with
respect to a portion of an apportionment determined or redetermined
to have been expended, or to be expendable, for property acquired or
to be acquired by it, and which has become liable for a portion of
the annual repayment of a portion of an apportionment, as provided in
Section 16159; and (2) to any state-aided district a portion of the
territory of which was transferred to a district described in (1),
above, and in connection with which territory a portion of an
apportionment made to such state-aided district has or will be
expended for property acquired or to be acquired.
If, on or before June 30 of any fiscal year, the governing board
of the school district files a request with the Controller for a
deferment of the annual repayment due from such district during the
next succeeding fiscal year for an apportionment received by the
district pursuant to this chapter, and it is determined, in
accordance with this section, that the district is entitled to a
deferment of all or part of the annual repayment, the deferment shall
be made in accordance with the determination. The request for
deferment, once filed with the Controller, shall remain in effect in
each ensuing year, and the Controller shall continue to compute and
allow the deferment in accordance with this section each year, until
the time as the governing board of the school district files a
written request with the Controller to discontinue the deferment.
The portion of the annual repayment to be deferred under this
section shall be determined as follows:
There shall be computed the amount required to be raised by taxes
on property within the district during the fiscal year in which the
annual repayment is to be deducted pursuant to Section 16080, for the
payment of principal and interest on: (a) that portion of the annual
repayment and all other payments due the state under Section 16075
and other provisions of this chapter with respect to the portion of
the apportionment for which the district has been determined to be
liable under Section 16159; (b) any bonded indebtedness incurred for
school purposes prior to the first conditional apportionment to the
school district under this chapter; (c) any bonded indebtedness which
was incurred as a condition to any apportionment under this chapter;
and (d) any bonded indebtedness incurred, the proceeds of which were
required to be contributed for the purposes for which an
apportionment was made under this chapter. To this amount shall be
added the amount required during the fiscal year, for the annual
repayment of school building apportionments under this chapter. The
total of these amounts shall constitute the "basic tax amount."
If the applicant district is a unified district, the amount to be
deferred shall be separately considered for each grade level thereof.
For this purpose, the basic tax amount shall only include the
amounts specified in the preceding paragraph required to be raised
for the repayment of principal and interest on bonded indebtedness
which was incurred for, or as a condition to receiving an
apportionment for, or required by the board to be contributed for the
purposes of, the grade level being considered, plus those amounts
required for the annual repayment of apportionments made under this
chapter for the grade level.
There shall be computed the amount which would be produced by a
tax of forty cents ($0.40) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of
assessed valuation of the district during such year, to be known as
the "40-cent tax amount," except beginning with the 1981-82 fiscal
year, the amount shall be produced by a tax of 0.10 percent of the
full value of the district during such year. The amount of the annual
repayment to be deferred during the fiscal year in which the annual
repayment is due shall be the amount, if any, by which the basic tax
amount exceeds the 40-cent tax amount. The amount deferred shall be
added to the annual repayment for the next succeeding fiscal year.
On or before the last day of July of each fiscal year, the
Controller shall request the Director of General Services to, and the
Director of General Services shall, determine and certify to the
Controller the amount of bonded debt service included in the "basic
tax amount." On or before the third Monday in August of each fiscal
year, the Controller shall request the county auditor of each county
to, and the county auditor of each county shall, determine and
certify to the Controller the current assessed valuation of property
within each district which has filed a request for a deferment under
this section.
Before the date on which the board of supervisors makes the levy
of taxes for county purposes, the Controller shall make the deferment
determination required by this section for each district requesting
a deferment, and, for each district which is entitled to a deferment,
shall notify, in writing, the board of supervisors of the county,
the governing board of the district, the county auditor, and the
county superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over the
district of the amount of the repayment of the district which is to
be deferred under this section.
For the purposes of this section the "annual repayment" means the
amount of the annual repayment of the district due in a fiscal year
as determined pursuant to Section 16075, plus the then unpaid
deferred amount of any annual repayment due in any previous fiscal
years.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if, at the
end of the 30-year period provided in Section 16083 there are any
deferred amounts due in any previous fiscal year remaining unpaid,
repayments shall continue to be made in the manner provided by this
section during each fiscal year thereafter until the amounts are
paid, or for an additional period of 10 years, whichever first
occurs. At the expiration of the additional 10-year period the unpaid
portion of the deferred amounts shall be canceled on the books of
the Controller, and the provisions of Section 16083 shall thereupon
become applicable thereto and the board shall execute a conveyance to
the district as provided in Section 16087.
