16265.1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The provision of basic social welfare and public health programs by counties is a matter of statewide interest.
(b) In some cases, the costs of these programs have grown more quickly than the counties’ own general purpose revenues.
(c) A county should not be required to drastically divert its own general purpose revenues from other public programs in order to pay for basic social welfare and public health programs.
(d) California residents should not be denied the benefits of these programs because counties are hampered by a severe lack of funds for these purposes.
(e) Accordingly, it is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to protect the public peace, health, and safety by stabilizing counties’ revenues.

16270. The Legislature finds and declares that many special districts have the ability to raise revenue through user charges and fees and that their ability to raise revenue directly from the property tax for district operations has been eliminated by Article XIII A of the California Constitution. It is the intent of the Legislature that such districts rely on user fees and charges for raising revenue due to the lack of the availability of property tax revenues after the 1978–79 fiscal year. Such districts are encouraged to begin the transition to user fees and charges during the 1978–79 fiscal year.

The percentage determined for each governing body shall be applied to the one hundred twenty-five million dollars ($125,000,000) to determine the dollar share of the surplus allocation for each governing body. The Controller shall then notify in writing each fiscal officer of the allocation which will be made for the 1978–79 fiscal year, on or before July 20, 1978.

Upon such request the Controller shall disburse such funds. When received, the board shall immediately deposit such funds with such district.
(c) Where funds are disbursed earlier than May 10, 1979, any reconciliation and audit as may otherwise be required shall be made no later than July 1, 1979.

16274. Not later than seven days after the notice from the State Controller, the governing body shall hold a public hearing for the purpose of determining the distribution of funds received pursuant to Section 16272.5.

(a) Public Safety Services:
(1) In distributing funds to districts which provide fire protection services, and any police protection district, county service area, or community services district which provides police protection services, exclusively, the governing body shall provide an amount sufficient to ensure that each district maintains the same level of protection as was actually provided during 1977–78.
(b) Other special district services:
(1) Districts with general fund reserves, as defined in Section 16271, of 5 percent or less of their total 1977–78 revenues shall be given priority over districts with general fund reserves in excess of 5 percent of their total 1977–78 revenues.
(2) Districts which have relied most heavily upon revenues derived from property taxation to finance the provision of a service shall be given priority over those districts which are less dependent upon revenues derived from property taxation.
(3) Districts which are not authorized to utilize nonproperty tax revenue sources, including but not limited to fees, rates and tolls to finance the provision of a service shall be given priority over districts which are authorized to utilize such nonproperty tax sources.
(4) In distributing funds to districts which provide more than one service, exclusive of fire and police protection services which are funded under the public safety services category, the board shall apply the criteria of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this subdivision to each such service and shall make a distribution of funds to the district for each such service.

16279.1. The Legislature finds and declares that Article XIII A of the Constitution, as added by the adoption of Proposition 13 on the ballot at the Direct Primary Election held on June 6, 1978, has substantially reduced the property tax revenues of many special districts, and that the remaining revenues, together with state assistance made available for special districts for the 1978–79 fiscal year, will not, in some instances, be sufficient to adequately finance the operation of special districts for the remainder of the 1978–79 fiscal year.
The Legislature further recognizes that there is a need to reduce the cost of local government and to provide local services in the most cost efficient manner possible. The Legislature urges all special districts to examine the services which they provide, to determine if such services duplicate those services provided by another public agency within the same service area, to determine which services could be eliminated or reduced, and to determine what steps can be taken, including, but not limited to, the consolidation of such districts or the realignment of their boundaries, so as to reduce the cost of providing services.
The purpose of this article is to provide financial assistance to those special districts which will be without sufficient funds to adequately provide services during the remainder of the 1978–79 fiscal year. The Legislature intends that only those special districts which have made a concerted effort to reduce their costs during the 1978–79 fiscal year shall be considered eligible to receive additional financial assistance for the remainder of such fiscal year. It is the intent of the Legislature that boards of supervisors, in distributing funds among eligible special districts, shall make such distribution to districts in such a manner that each district receives an amount commensurate with its 1978–79 revenue loss relative to the similar losses of other eligible districts within the county.

16279.3. As used in this article, “eligible special district” means a special district, subsidiary district, or multicounty special district which, during the three fiscal years prior to the 1978–79 fiscal year, received, on the average, more than 50 percent of its total revenue directly or indirectly from property tax and performs any of the following activities: cemetery, flood control, library, pest abatement, park and recreation, or garbage disposal pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 4100) of Part 2 of Division 5 of the Health and Safety Code. Total revenue shall not include state or federal funds received in the three fiscal years prior to the 1978–79 fiscal year for any purpose, except capital outlay.

16279.4.

Such loan shall be repaid upon the receipt of such state funds and prior to any other obligation of the district.

16280. No state funds from the state surplus or state loan funds shall be available to any local public agency which provides a cost-of-living wage or salary increase in the 1978–79 fiscal year for local public agency employees or cost-of-living increases for any other individuals, including AFDC and other welfare recipients, if such increase is in excess of the cost-of-living salary increase provided for state employees. The cost-of-living salary increase provided for state employees shall be determined by dividing the total amount made available by the Legislature for salary increases to state employees by the total salaries paid to state employees. If the Legislature limits the cost-of-living salary increase for state employees on the basis of salary range, the local public agency shall likewise limit any cost-of-living increase for local public agency employees and other individuals on the same basis.
Any provision of a contract, agreement, or memorandum of understanding between a local public agency and an employee organization or an individual employee which provides for a cost-of-living wage or salary increase to local public agency employees in excess of such increase provided for state employees is null and void to the extent of such excess.
This section shall not preclude regular merit increases, established prior to June 6, 1978, longevity or educational increments, promotions, or transfers, but shall preclude the transfer of employees to new positions created with higher pay schedules for the purpose of circumventing this chapter.
As used in this section, the terms “salary” and “wage or salary” shall not include any compensation other than wages or salaries, such as health benefits, retirement benefits, life insurance, vacation time, sick leave, perquisites of all kinds, and reimbursement of expenses.

16281. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to alleviate the current fiscal crisis created by the passage of Proposition 13 (Article XIII A of the California Constitution), and to provide for maintaining essential services which would otherwise be lost.
The Legislature finds and declares that limiting increases in wages or salaries for local public agency officers and employees and cost of living increases for other individuals will allow essential local government services to be maintained at a higher level than would otherwise be the case, and will promote full employment and prevent layoffs.
The Legislature further finds and declares that this chapter constitutes a matter of statewide concern, and shall apply to charter counties and charter cities. The provisions of this chapter shall supersede any inconsistent provisions in the charter of any county or city.

(2) Upon written request of the state agency responsible for the collection to which the overpayment relates, the amount of the overpayment shall, on order of the Controller, be deposited as revenue in the fund in the State Treasury into which the collection, exclusive of overpayments, is required by law to be deposited.
