(e) A county auditor-controller may charge the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for the costs of administering the provisions of this part.
(f) The Controller may audit and review any county auditor-controller action taken pursuant to the act adding this part. As such, all county auditor-controller actions shall not be effective for three business days, pending a request for review by the Controller. In the event that the Controller requests a review of a given county auditor-controller action, he or she shall have 10 days from the date of his or her request to approve the county auditor-controller’s action or return it to the county auditor-controller for reconsideration and the county auditor-controller’s action shall not be effective until approved by the Controller. In the event that the Controller returns the county auditor-controller’s action to the county auditor-controller for reconsideration, the county auditor-controller must resubmit the modified action for Controller approval and the modified county auditor-controller’s action shall not become effective until approved by the Controller.
