57384
. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), whenever a city
has been incorporated from territory formerly unincorporated, the
board of supervisors shall continue to furnish, without additional
charge, to the area incorporated all services furnished to the area
prior to the incorporation. Those services shall be furnished for the
remainder of the fiscal year during which the incorporation became
effective or until the city council requests discontinuance of the
services, whichever occurs first.
(b) This subdivision applies only to incorporations for which the
petition or resolution of application for incorporation is filed with
the commission on or after January 1, 1987. Prior to the commission
adopting a resolution making determinations, the board of supervisors
may request that the city reimburse the county for the net cost of
services provided pursuant to subdivision (a). The commission shall
impose this requirement as a term and condition of its resolution.
The city shall be obligated to reimburse the county within five years
of the effective date of the incorporation or for a period in excess
of five years, if the board of supervisors agrees to a longer
period. As used in this subdivision, "net cost of services" means the
total direct and indirect expense to the county of providing
services, as determined pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c)
of Section 56810, adjusted by any subsequent change in the California
Consumer Price Index, less any revenues which the county retains
that were generated from the formerly unincorporated territory during
the period of time the services are furnished pursuant to
subdivision (a). This subdivision applies only to those services
which are to be assumed by the city.
(c) At the request of the city council, the board of supervisors,
by resolution, may determine to furnish, without charge, to the area
incorporated all or a portion of services furnished to the area prior
to the incorporation for an additional period of time after the end
of the fiscal year during which the incorporation became effective.
The additional period of time after the end of the fiscal year during
which the incorporation became effective for which the board of
supervisors determines to provide services, without charge, and the
specific services to be provided shall be specifically stated in the
resolution adopted by the board of supervisors.
