Section 2182.1 Of Chapter 4.6. Intercity Corridor Demonstration Program From California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 3. >> Chapter 4.6.
2182.1
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that it intends
cities and counties to use the funds made available under paragraph
(2) of subdivision (a) of Section 14556.5 of the Government Code to
supplement existing local revenues being used for maintenance and
rehabilitation of local streets and roads. Cities and counties shall
maintain their existing commitment of local funds for maintenance and
rehabilitation of local streets and roads in order to remain
eligible for allocation and expenditure of the additional four
hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) made available by Section 21
of the act that added this section.
(b) In order to receive any allocation pursuant to Section 2182,
the city or county shall annually expend from its general fund for
street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual
average of its expenditures from its general fund during the
1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99 fiscal years, as reported to the
Controller pursuant to Section 2151. For purposes of this
subdivision, in calculating a city's or county's annual general fund
expenditures and its average general fund expenditures for the
1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99 fiscal years, any unrestricted funds
that the city or county may expend at its discretion, including
vehicle in-lieu tax revenues and revenues from fines and forfeitures,
expended for street and highway purposes shall be considered
expenditures from the general fund. One-time allocations that have
been expended for street and highway purposes, but which may not be
available on an ongoing basis, including revenue provided under the
Teeter Plan Bond Law of 1994 (Chapter 6.6 (commencing with Section
54773) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code),
may not be considered when calculating a city's or county's annual
general fund expenditures.
(c) For any city incorporated after July 1, 1996, the Controller
shall calculate an annual average of expenditure for the period
between July 1, 1996, and December 31, 2000, that the city was
incorporated.
(d) For purposes of subdivision (b), the Controller may request
fiscal data from cities and counties in addition to data provided
pursuant to Section 2151, for the 1996-97, 1997-98, and 1998-99
fiscal years. Each city and county shall furnish the data to the
Controller not later than 120 days after receiving the request. The
Controller may withhold payment to cities and counties that do not
comply with the request for information or that provide incomplete
data.
(e) The Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with
subdivision (b) when deemed necessary. Any city or county that has
not complied with subdivision (b) shall reimburse the state for the
funds it received during that fiscal year. Any funds withheld or
returned as a result of a failure to comply with subdivision (b)
shall be reallocated to the other counties and cities whose
expenditures are in compliance.
(f) If a city or county fails to comply with the requirements of
subdivision (b) in a particular fiscal year, the city or county may
expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total
amount that is not less than the total amount required to be expended
for those fiscal years for purposes of complying with subdivision
(b).
(g) The allocation made under Section 2182 shall be expended not
later than the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in
which the allocation was made, and any funds not expended within that
period shall be returned to the Controller and shall be reallocated
to the other cities and counties pursuant to the allocation formulas
set forth in Section 2182.
