Section 25350.75 Of Article 1. General From California Government Code >> Division 2. >> Title 3. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 1.
25350.75
. (a) Prior to entering into an agreement to finance the
lease or lease-purchase of property through the execution and
delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of
participation or lease revenue bonds, or at any time with respect to
a financing agreement with respect to which an election has been made
under Section 25350.7, the board of supervisors of a county of the
second class may elect, by resolution, to guarantee payment under
that financing agreement in accordance with the following:
(1) If the county elects to participate under this section, it
shall provide notice to the Controller of that election, and the
notice shall include a schedule for the payments to be made by the
county under that financing agreement and identify a trustee
appointed by the county for the purpose of this section.
(2) In the event that, for any reason, the funds available to the
county will not be sufficient to make any payment under the financing
agreement at the time that payment is required, the county shall so
notify the trustee and deliver to the Controller a duly certified
copy of the resolution of its board of supervisors adopted pursuant
to Section 29530.6. The trustee shall immediately communicate that
information to the affected holders of certificates of participation
or bondholders and the Controller.
(3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee, and a
copy of the resolution from the county, as described in paragraph
(2), or, after having adopted the resolution specified in paragraph
(2), the county fails to make any payment under the financing
agreement at the time that payment is required, the Controller shall
make an apportionment to the trustee in the amount of that required
payment for the purposes of making that payment. The Controller shall
make that payment only from moneys to be transmitted to the county
by the State Board of Equalization under Section 7204 of the Revenue
and Taxation Code, that are derived from that portion of the sales
and use taxes imposed by the county in excess of 1 percent pursuant
to Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 3 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, and that are permitted to be deposited in
the general fund of the county pursuant to Section 29530.6. The
Controller shall thereupon reduce, by the amount of the payment, the
subsequent amounts to which the county would be entitled under that
section.
(b) As an alternative to the procedure set forth in paragraphs (2)
and (3) of subdivision (a), the board of supervisors of a county of
the second class may, on or after the date of adoption by the board
of the resolution specified in Section 29530.6, provide a transfer
schedule in a notice to the Controller and the State Board of
Equalization of its election to participate under this section. The
transfer schedule shall set forth the amounts to be transferred to
the trustee and the date or dates for the transfers, and the
Controller shall, subject to the limitation in the second and third
sentences of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), make apportionments to
the trustee in those amounts on the specified date or dates for the
purpose of making those transfers.
(c) If a county of the second class is no longer obligated for any
period to make all or a portion of the payments with respect to the
lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery
or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or
lease revenue bonds, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders
of certificates of participation or bondholders, the Controller, and
the State Board of Equalization. Upon receipt of the notification,
the Controller shall cease making the transfers. If, after the giving
of the notice, the obligation of the county to make payments with
respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution
and delivery or issuance of certificates of participation or lease
revenue bonds is restored, the trustee shall so notify the affected
holders of certificates of participation or bondholders, the
Controller, and the State Board of Equalization. Upon receipt of the
notification, the Controller shall resume making the transfers.
(d) Any election made by a county of the second class pursuant to
this section shall be in addition to any other election made by the
county pursuant to any other applicable provision of law to guarantee
the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to the
lease or lease-purchase of property financed through certificates of
participation or lease revenue bonds.
