Section 70359 Of Article 5. County Facilities Payment From California Government Code >> Title 8. >> Chapter 5.7. >> Article 5.
70359
. (a) Court facilities rental or leasing, except to the extent
included as a court operation in Rule 10.810 of the California Rules
of Court, shall be included in the county facilities payment using
as the initial amount the annual amount for the lease for the fiscal
year of the date of transfer of those court facilities to the state.
(b) The amount computed under subdivision (a) shall be adjusted
annually for each remaining year in the lease to reflect the changed
annualized amount for the lease for each year remaining on the lease.
A lease amount in the final year of any lease entered into or
renewed on or after October 2, 2001, shall represent a good faith
relationship to the fair market value of the facilities either at the
time of the making of the lease or the time of determination of the
final year lease amount.
(c) The adjustment of the amount pursuant to subdivision (b) shall
not permit either the county or the Judicial Council to appeal the
county facilities payment amount under Section 70366 or 70367, except
as to any issues directly related to the adjustment made by
subdivision (b).
(d) The amount of any lease included in the county facilities
payment amount shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Administrative Director of the Courts and the county, be paid by the
county from the county's courthouse construction fund, if the lease
was originally entered into prior to July 1, 2002, and to the extent
the lease was funded in whole or in part by the courthouse
construction fund prior to July 1, 2002. The length of time payment
that may be made from the courthouse construction fund is to be
calculated by the length of the lease entered into before July 1,
2002, plus any one renewal or extension of not more than five years
entered into on or after July 2, 2002. The Administrative Director of
the Courts may agree to a longer time for payment from the
courthouse construction fund.
