part and Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170), the definition of
a city, county, or city and county includes, but is not limited to,
the following entities:
(1) Any reporting entity of the city, county, or city and county
for purposes of its comprehensive annual financial report or similar

(2) Any component unit of the city, county, or city and county.
(3) Any entity which is controlled by the city, county, or city
and county, or for which the city, county, or city and county is
financially responsible or accountable.
(b) The following factors shall be considered in determining that
an entity is controlled by the city, county, or city and county, and
are therefore included in the definition of a city, county, or city
and county for purposes of this part and Part 1.85 (commencing with
Section 34170):
(1) The city, county, or city and county exercises substantial
municipal control over the entity's operations, revenues, or
expenditures.
(2) The city, county, or city and county has ownership or control
over the entity's property or facilities.
(3) The city, county, or city and county and the entity share
common or overlapping governing boards, or coterminous boundaries.
(4) The city, county, or city and county was involved in the

(5) The entity performs functions customarily or historically
performed by municipalities and financed thorough levies of property
taxes.
(6) The city, county, or city and county provides administrative
and related business support for the entity, or assumes the expenses

(c) For purposes of this section, it shall not be relevant that
the entity is formed as a separate legal entity, nonprofit
corporation, or otherwise, or is not subject to the constitution debt
limitation otherwise applicable to a city, county, or city and
county. The provisions in this section are declarative of existing
law as the entities described herein are and were intended to be
included within the requirements of this part and Part 1.85
(commencing with Section 34170) and any attempt to determine
otherwise would thwart the intent of these two parts.
