Section 25350.95 Of Article 1. General From California Government Code >> Division 2. >> Title 3. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 1.
25350.95
. (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 25350.9, 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 a 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. The trustee shall immediately communicate that
information to the affected holders of certificates of participation
or bondholders and to the Controller.
(3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee as
specified in paragraph (2) or 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 purpose 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
pursuant to Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code, other than the portion of the taxes
described in Section 29530.6, and 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 may
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 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
sentence 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 the county 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.
