As used in this subdivision, the following terms have the meanings given them:

(i) the United States Bureau of the Census;
(ii) the State Land Management Information Center; or
(iii) the secretary of state; and
(4) "population factor" means the square root of the town's population.
(b) If the sum of the aids payable to all towns under this subdivision exceeds the limit under section 477A.03, subdivision 2c, the distribution to each town must be reduced proportionately so that the total amount of aids distributed under this subdivision does not exceed the limit in section 477A.03, subdivision 2c.

(a) For aids payable in 2024 and thereafter, the formula aid for a city is equal to the product of (1) the difference between its unmet need and its certified aid in the previous year, and (2) the aid gap percentage.
(b) The applicable aid gap percentage must be calculated by the Department of Revenue so that the total of the aid under subdivision 9 equals the total amount available for aid under section 477A.03. The aid gap percentage must be the same for all cities subject to paragraph (a). Data used in calculating aids to cities under sections 477A.011 to 477A.013 shall be the most recently available data as of January 1 in the year in which the aid is calculated.
(a) In calendar year 2024 and thereafter, if a city's certified aid for the previous year is less than its current unmet need, the city shall receive an aid distribution equal to the sum of (1) its certified aid in the previous year, and (2) the city formula aid under subdivision 8.
(b) For aids payable in 2024 and thereafter, if a city's certified aid for the previous year is equal to or greater than its current unmet need, the total aid for a city is equal to the greater of (1) its unmet need, or (2) the amount it was certified to receive in the previous year minus the lesser of (i) $10 multiplied by its population, or (ii) five percent of its net levy in the year prior to the aid distribution. No city may have a total aid amount less than $0.
Notwithstanding any local ordinance or charter provision, a city whose certified aid under subdivision 9 is less than the amount it received in the previous year under the same subdivision may increase its levy payable in the same year as the certified aid is paid by an amount equal to the aid decrease for that year.
