Section 55100 Of Part 2. Bonds From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 32. >> Part 2.
55100
. The local agency may, from time to time, issue its bonds in
the principal amount as the local agency shall determine to be
necessary to provide sufficient funds for financing under this
division and for the payment of interest on bonds of the local
agency, establishment of reserves to secure the bonds, and other
expenditures of the local agency incident to, and necessary or
convenient to, issuance of the bonds.
Prior to the issuance of any bonds pursuant to this division, the
local agency shall submit to the California Housing Finance Agency, a
statement of purpose for which the bonds are proposed to be issued
and the amount of the proposed issuance. The California Housing
Finance Agency shall review every statement submitted to it by a
local agency pursuant to this section. The California Housing Finance
Agency shall determine the general adequacy of the program's
security in protecting the state's credit. If the California Housing
Finance Agency finds the state's credit would be subject to an undue
risk, it may disapprove the proposed issuance or reduce the amount of
the proposed issuance. If the California Housing Finance Agency has
not acted within 30 days of the date that a statement was submitted
pursuant to this section, the proposed issuance shall be deemed
approved by the California Housing Finance Agency.
The aggregate amount of all bonds approved by the California
Housing Finance Agency pursuant to this section shall not exceed two
hundred million dollars ($200,000,000). The California Housing
Finance Agency shall reserve seventy-five million dollars
($75,000,000), which shall not be allocated for 24 months after the
effective date of this division. No agency shall initially receive an
allocation exceeding fifty million dollars ($50,000,000). If an
initial request exceeds one hundred twenty-five million dollars
($125,000,000), the California Housing Finance Agency shall reduce
all requests on the basis of the ratio of eligible buildings in the
jurisdiction to the estimated number of eligible buildings in the
state as determined by the Seismic Safety Commission until one
hundred twenty-five million dollars ($125,000,000) is reached.
Twenty-four months after the effective date of this division, the
California Housing Finance Agency may allocate any remaining funds.
Funds shall first be allocated to any local agency that has not
received an allocation. If these requests exceed the available funds,
the California Housing Finance Agency shall reduce all requests on
the basis of the ratio of eligible buildings in the jurisdiction to
the estimated number of eligible buildings in the state, as
determined by the Seismic Safety Commission. If there are funds
remaining after allowing for requests by local agencies that have not
previously received an allocation, any local agency which had
previously received an allocation may request further allocations.
Any allocations made to local agencies that have previously received
allocations shall be made only on the basis of the ratio of eligible
buildings in the jurisdiction to the estimated number of eligible
buildings in the state, as determined by the Seismic Safety
Commission. Eligible buildings in the jurisdiction shall be
determined on the basis of an inventory. After that authorization has
been exhausted, all further proposals for issuance of bonds pursuant
to this division shall be deemed disapproved by the California
Housing Finance Agency.
The local agency shall reimburse the California Housing Finance
Agency for all administrative costs incurred by the California
Housing Finance Agency pursuant to this section.
