43732.5
. (a) Prior to the issuance by a city of bonds pursuant to
this chapter, the legislative body may elect, by resolution, to
guarantee payment on outstanding bonds of the city issued pursuant to
this chapter in accordance with the following:
(1) A city that elects to participate under this section shall
provide notice to the Controller of that election, which notice shall
include a schedule for the repayment of principal and interest on
the bonds, and identify a bond trustee appointed by the city for the
purposes of this section.
(2) In the event that, for any reason, the amount of tax revenues
made available pursuant to this article for the payment of principal
and interest of the bonds will not be sufficient for that purpose at
the time payment on principal, interest, or both, is required as to
any one or more of those bonds, the city shall so notify the bond
trustee. The bond trustee shall immediately communicate that
information to the affected bondholder or bondholders and to the
Controller.
(3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee as
described in paragraph (2), or the amount of tax revenues made
available pursuant to this article for the payment of principal and
interest of the bonds is not sufficient for that purpose at the time
payment on principal, interest, or both, is required as to any one or
more of those bonds, the Controller shall make an apportionment to
the bond trustee in the amount of that required payment for the
purpose of making that payment. The Controller shall make that
payment only from moneys credited to the Motor Vehicle License Fee
Account in the Transportation Tax Fund to which that city is entitled
at that time under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11001) of Part
5 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and shall
thereupon reduce, by the amount of the payment, the subsequent
allocation or allocations to which the county would otherwise be
entitled under that chapter.
(4) A city shall be entitled to reimbursement, from tax revenues
collected pursuant to this article, in an amount equal to the amount
by which its allocation or allocations under Chapter 5 (commencing
with Section 11001) of Part 5 of Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code are reduced pursuant to subdivision (c).
(b) This section shall not be construed to obligate the State of
California to make any payment to a city from the Motor Vehicle
License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund in any amount or
pursuant to any particular allocation formula, or to make any other
payment to a city, including, but not limited to, any payment in
satisfaction of any debt or liability incurred or guaranteed by a
city in accordance with this section.
