(a) A city or county that includes a redevelopment agency that has complied with this part shall make the remittances required by this section to the county auditor-controller. The county auditor-controller shall deposit an amount as determined by Section 34194.4 into the Special District Allocation Fund, and remaining funds shall be remitted to the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund, created pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 97) of Chapter 6 of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(b) (1) For the 2011–12 fiscal year, a city or county shall remit an amount equal to the amount determined for the redevelopment agencies in that city or county pursuant to subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2).

(2) Utilizing the Controller’s redevelopment agency 2008–09 annual report, the Director of Finance shall do all of the following for the 2011–12 fiscal year:

(A) Determine the net tax increment apportioned to each redevelopment agency pursuant to Section 33670, calculated as a redevelopment agency’s tax increment revenue, excluding any amounts apportioned to affected taxing agencies pursuant to Section 33401, 33492.140, 33607, 33607.5, 33607.7, or 33676, and excluding all amounts used to pay for tax allocation bonds and interest payments specified in the Controller’s report, in the 2008–09 fiscal year.

(B) Determine the net tax increment apportioned to all redevelopment agencies pursuant to Section 33670, calculated as all redevelopment agencies’ tax increment revenue, excluding any amounts apportioned to affected taxing agencies pursuant to Section 33401, 33492.140, 33607, 33607.5, 33607.7, or 33676, and excluding all amounts used to pay for tax allocation bonds and interest payments specified in the Controller’s report, in the 2008–09 fiscal year.

(C) Determine each redevelopment agency’s proportionate share of statewide net tax increment by dividing the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) by the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).

(D) Determine a proportionate amount of net tax increment for each redevelopment agency by multiplying one billion seven hundred million dollars ($1,700,000,000) by the proportionate share determined pursuant to subparagraph (C).

(E) Determine the total amount of property tax revenue apportioned to each redevelopment agency pursuant to Section 33670, calculated as a redevelopment agency’s tax increment revenue, including any amounts apportioned to affected taxing agencies pursuant to Section 33401, 33492.140, 33607, 33607.5, 33607.7, or 33676, and including all amounts used for payments of tax allocation bonds and interest payments specified in the Controller’s report, in the 2008–09 fiscal year.

(F) Determine the total amount of property tax revenue apportioned to all redevelopment agencies pursuant to Section 33670, calculated as all redevelopment agencies’ tax increment revenue, including any amounts apportioned to affected taxing agencies pursuant to Section 33401, 33492.140, 33607, 33607.5, 33607.7, or 33676, and including all amounts used for payments of tax allocation bonds and interest payments specified in the Controller’s report, in the 2008–09 fiscal year.

(G) Determine each redevelopment agency’s proportionate share of property tax revenue by dividing the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (E) by the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (F).

(H) Determine a proportionate amount of property tax revenue for each redevelopment agency by multiplying one billion seven hundred million dollars ($1,700,000,000) by the proportionate share determined pursuant to subparagraph (G).

(I) Average the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraphs (D) and (H).

(J) On or before August 1, 2011, notify each city or county of the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (I) for a redevelopment agency of that city or county.

(K) Notify each county auditor-controller of the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (I) for each agency in his or her county.

(L) (i) After receiving the notification from the Director of Finance pursuant to subparagraph (J), a city or county may appeal the amount of remittance to the director on or before August 15, 2011, on the basis that the information in the Controller’s report was in error or that the percentage of tax increment necessary to pay for tax allocation bonds and interest payments has increased by 10 percent or more over the percentage calculated pursuant to the Controller’s redevelopment agency 2008–09 annual report. Any appeal shall include documentation that clearly and convincingly establishes the basis of the appeal and the amount of the claimed discrepancy.

(ii) The director may reject the appeal or approve it, in whole or in part, at the director’s sole discretion. The director shall notify the city or county and the county auditor-controller of the decision on the appeal by September 15, 2011. However, the director may extend the decision deadline, at the director’s discretion and upon notification of the city or county and the county auditor-controller, until October 15, 2011, in which case the date by which the city or county must enact the ordinance required by this part shall be extended until December 1, 2011. If the director determines that the percentage of tax increment necessary to pay for tax allocation bonds or interest payments has increased by 10 percent or more, as described by this subparagraph, then the director shall recalculate the remittance amount for the city or county identified in subparagraph (I) by reducing the amount in subparagraph (D) to reflect any percentage increase that is in excess of 10 percent.

(c) For the 2012–13 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter a participating community shall remit an amount equal to the sum of the amounts specified in paragraphs (1) and (2):

(1) For a community subject to a remittance amount determined for the 2011–12 fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (b), a base payment equal to the base payment in the prior fiscal year, increased by the percentage growth or decreased by the percentage reduction, as appropriate, from the prior fiscal year in the total adjusted amount of property tax increment revenue allocated to the redevelopment agency of the community pursuant to Section 33670 with respect to project areas that were in existence, and for which the agency received allocations of tax increment revenue, during the 2011–12 fiscal year.

(A) For the 2012–13 fiscal year, the base payment in the prior fiscal year shall be the remittance amount determined pursuant to subdivision (b) for the 2011–12 fiscal year multiplied by the ratio of four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) to one billion seven hundred million dollars ($1,700,000,000).

(B) The “adjusted amount of property tax increment revenue” described in this paragraph means an amount of property tax increment in any fiscal year for a project area that is calculated by subtracting the amount of any debt service or other payments for new debt issuances or obligations, as provided in paragraph (2), from the total amount of property tax increment revenue allocated in that year to the agency with respect to that project area.

(2) (A) An amount equivalent to 80 percent, or any lesser amount as may be authorized by law for qualifying projects, of the total net school share, as described in subparagraph (B), of debt service or other payments made in that fiscal year for new debt or obligations issued or incurred on or after November 1, 2011, as shown on the agency’s statement of indebtedness, excluding any debts issued or incurred on behalf of the agency’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, established pursuant to Section 33334.3. “New debt” means debt that is displayed on a statement of indebtedness filed after a statement of indebtedness filed on October 1, 2011, that was not displayed on the statement of indebtedness filed on October 1, 2011.

(B) For the purpose of subparagraph (A), the net school share shall be the school share of the property tax increment revenues, less any passthrough payments to school entities, that would have been received in the absence of redevelopment by school entities, as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 95 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, in the jurisdictional territory of the redevelopment agency, including, but not limited to, the amounts specified in Section 97.68 and 97.70 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(C) It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation in the 2011–12 session to prescribe a schedule of reductions in the community remittance, described in subparagraph (A), that will authorize payments of less than 80 percent of the school share of property taxes to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund. The reductions shall apply for bonds issued for the purpose of funding projects that advance the achievement of statewide goals with respect to transportation, housing, economic development and job creation, environmental protection and remediation, and climate change, including, but not limited to, projects that are consistent with the Sustainable Communities Strategies developed pursuant to Chapter 4.2 (commencing with Section 21155) of Division 13 of the Public Resources Code.

(3) On or before November 1 of each year, the city or county shall notify the Department of Finance, the Controller, and the county auditor-controller of the remittance amount required by the calculations described in this subdivision. The Director of Finance, the Controller, and the county auditor-controller shall each be authorized to audit and verify the remittance amount that is determined by the city or county. The county auditor-controller, based upon an audit conducted by that office, or upon notification by the Director of Finance or the Controller based on an audit conducted by those offices, that determines that the city or county has miscalculated its remittance payment amount, shall adjust the amount of the next remittance payment that shall be paid by the city or county to reflect the correct amount of payment previously owed by the city or county as identified in that audit, as required by this subdivision.

(d) (1) A city or county shall pay one-half of the total remittance amount, as calculated pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c), on or before January 15 of each year and shall pay the remaining one-half of the remittance amount on or before May 15 of each year.

(2) If a city or county fails to make its remittance payment as required by paragraph (1), the county auditor-controller shall notify the Director of Finance of the failure to make the payment within 30 days. Upon receipt of the notification, the Director of Finance may determine that the redevelopment agency in the city or county shall be subject to the requirements of Part 1.8 (commencing with Section 34161) and Part 1.85 (commencing with Section 34170) as described in Section 34195.
