. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter,
commencing with the 1994-95 fiscal year, except as provided in
subdivision (c), any county, city and county, or city, including any
charter city, that funds all combined public safety services within
its respective jurisdiction from existing local financial resources,
in an amount for the fiscal year that is less than the base amount
for that local agency, shall have its total fiscal year allocations
from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund reduced by the difference
between those amounts. Any amount not allocated to a county as a
result of this paragraph shall be allocated to cities in that county
in proportion to the total fiscal year allocations otherwise received
by those cities pursuant to Section 30054, and any amount not
allocated to a city or cities as a result of this paragraph shall be
allocated to the county. For purposes of applying this subdivision,
the amount of funding within a local jurisdiction for combined public
safety services for each fiscal year shall be determined in
accordance with the budget adopted by that jurisdiction for that
fiscal year. For any city that is subject to a final arbitration
decision, that is rendered on or before December 31, 1994, pursuant
to binding labor arbitration as required by that city's charter as
approved by the voters on November 4, 1980, the amount of funding for
combined public safety services for the 1994-95 fiscal year shall be
determined in accordance with any amended budget adopted by that
city for the 1994-95 fiscal year.

support-related activities of the district attorney performed

county, or city, including any charter city.

including a charter city, pursuant to a contract under which that
county, city and county, or city provides public safety services for
another jurisdiction.
(H) Revenues that were not appropriated by a county, city and
county, or city, including any charter city, for public safety
services in the base year, but are so appropriated in the current
fiscal year as a result of a change of organization or reorganization
that became effective pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local
Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Division 3 (commencing with
Section 56000) of Title 5) subsequent to the base year.
(I) Revenues received by a county or city and county pursuant to

increased or decreased in accordance with the positive or negative
difference between the amount allocated for the 1994-95 fiscal year
to that local agency from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund and the
corresponding amount allocated to that local agency for the 1993-94
fiscal year. For purposes of this subparagraph, the amount to be
allocated to the local agency from the Public Safety Augmentation
Fund for the 1994-95 fiscal year shall be estimated based on the
allocations to that agency determined over the first six months of
that fiscal year.

expenditures for public safety services.
(G) Any amount expended during the base year by a county, city and
county, or city pursuant to a contract under which that county, city
and county, or city provides public safety services for another
jurisdiction.
(H) Amounts expended by a county, city and county, or city,
including any charter city, in the base year for public safety
services that are not appropriated for similar expenditure in the
current fiscal year as a result of a change of organization or

of understanding or other binding agreement on or before the adoption
of the budget of the county, city, or city and county for that
fiscal year with all local public safety entities that relates to
those entities' respective shares of the local agency's allocation

information provided by a county, city and county, or city, including
any charter city.
(e) It is the intent of the Legislature that this section shall
apply to all cities, including charter cities. The Legislature finds
