53667
. (a) Expenses incurred by the administrator in carrying out
the duties and responsibilities assigned to the administrator by the
sections specified in subdivision (a) of Section 53661, shall be
borne by the Local Agency Deposit Security Fund, which is hereby
created and continuously appropriated to the administrator for the
administration of the sections specified in subdivision (a) of
Section 53661. This fund shall consist of fines levied pursuant to
Section 53661, fees collected pursuant to the sections specified in
subdivision (a) of Section 53661, and assessments levied pursuant to
this section.
(b) Each fiscal year the administrator shall levy an assessment on
a pro rata basis on those depositories which at any time during the
preceding fiscal year held local agency deposits. The total
assessment levied on all of those depositories shall be in an amount
which, when added to the amount of fines and fees that the
administrator estimates will be collected during the fiscal year when
the assessment is levied, is sufficient in the judgment of the
administrator to meet the expenses of the administrator in
administering the sections specified in subdivision (a) of Section
53661 and to provide a reasonable reserve for contingencies. The
basis of the apportionment of the assessment among the depositories
assessed shall be the proportion that the average amount of local
agency deposits held by each of those depositories bears to the
average total amount of local agency deposits held by all of those
depositories as shown by the reports of depositories to the
administrator for the preceding fiscal year, as required in
subdivision (e) of Section 53661; provided, however, that the amount
of the assessment levied on each of those depositories shall be not
less than twenty-five dollars ($25).
(c) The administrator shall notify each depository by mail of the
amount levied against it. The depository shall pay the amount levied
within 20 days after such notice into the Local Agency Deposit
Security Fund for the administration of the sections specified in
subdivision (a) of Section 53661. If payment is not made to the
administrator within such time, the administrator shall assess and
collect, in addition to the annual assessment, a penalty of 5 percent
of the assessment for each month or part thereof that the payment is
delinquent. If a depository fails to pay the assessment or penalties
assessed by the administrator, the administrator may notify local
agency treasurers with deposits in the depository.
