For purposes of this subparagraph, the amount to be allocated to the local agency from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund for the 1994-95 fiscal year shall be estimated based on the allocations to that agency determined over the first six months of that fiscal year.(B) For the 1995-96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, that amount shall be increased or decreased in accordance with the positive or negative difference between (i) the amount allocated to the local agency from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund in the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (ii) the corresponding amount allocated to the local agency in the next preceding fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of this subparagraph, in no event shall the base amount for a local agency be less than the amount of funding for all combined public safety services within the jurisdiction of that local agency for the base year.(4) The amount of funding for all combined public safety services within the jurisdiction of a local agency for the base year does not include any of the following amounts: (A) Grant funds from any source expended by a county, city and county, or city, including any charter city, during the base year for public safety services.(B) Revenues received by a county or city and county for the child support-related activities of the district attorney performed pursuant to Part D of Subchapter 4 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.).(C) Asset forfeiture revenues expended by a county, city and county, or city, including any charter city, during the base year for public safety services.(D) Capital outlay funds expended by a county, city and county, or city, including any charter city, during the base year for public safety.(E) Any amount expended by a city and county during the base year to fund retirement costs that are not attributable to any change in benefit levels.(F) Any amount expended by a county, city and county, or city, including any charter city, during the base year to fund one-time expenditures for public safety services.(G) Any amount expended during the base year by a county, city and county, or city pursuant to a contract under which that county, city and county, or city provides public safety services for another jurisdiction.(H) Amounts expended by a county, city and county, or city, including any charter city, in the base year for public safety services that are not appropriated for similar expenditure in the current fiscal year as a result of a change of organization or reorganization that became effective pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Division 3 (commencing with Section 56000) of Title 5) subsequent to the base year.(I) Any amount expended during the base year for homicide trial costs that are reimbursable pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 15200) of Part 6 of Division 3 of Title 2 or any other program, including, but not limited to, Chapter 1649 of the Statutes of 1990 and its successors.(J) Any amount expended during the base year to provide public safety services during a state of emergency declared by the Governor pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act (Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 8550) of Division 1 of Title 2).(c) This section shall not be applicable to any of the following jurisdictions: (1) With respect to a specific fiscal year, any county, city and county, or city whose legislative body has entered into a memorandum of understanding or other binding agreement on or before the adoption of the budget of the county, city, or city and county for that fiscal year with all local public safety entities that relates to those entities' respective shares of the local agency's allocation from the county's Public Safety Augmentation Fund.(2) Any city for which the amount of the reduction calculated under Section 97.035 of the Revenue and Taxation Code is zero.(d) Officials of a county, city and county, or city, including any charter city, shall, upon request, provide the county auditor any information that the auditor needs to make the determinations required by this section.
