Section 5096.127 - Allocation of grant funds to counties(a) All of the funds authorized by subdivision (a) of Section 5096.124 for grants, shall be allocated to the counties, such allocation to be based upon the estimated population of the counties on July 1, 1980, as projected by the Department of Finance.(b) Each county's apportionment of such funds shall be in the same ratio as the county's population is to the state's total population; provided, however, that each county having a projected 1980 population of 40,000 or fewer persons shall receive an allocation of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000); and provided, further, that any grant made to a city or district shall be subtracted from the total otherwise allocable under the provisions of this chapter to the county or counties in which the city or district is located.(c) Each county shall consult with all cities and districts within the county and shall develop and submit to the state for approval a priority plan for expenditure of the county's allocation. The priority plan for expenditure shall consist of an allocation of the county's funds to the eligible recipients specified in subdivision (a) of Section 5096.124. The priority plan for expenditure may include the names of individual projects under each governmental jurisdiction. The priority plan for expenditure shall be submitted to the Director of Parks and Recreation prior to June 30, 1978. The priority plan for expenditure of the total county allocation shall be approved by at least 50 percent of the cities and districts representing 50 percent of the population of the cities and districts within the county, and by the county board of supervisors. Failure to submit an approved priority plan by June 30, 1978, shall result in a 10-percent annual reduction of the total county allocation until the priority plan is submitted. Any funds not allocated to a county shall remain in the State, Urban, and Coastal Park Fund and shall be expended under the same conditions as set forth in Section 5096.128 in 1983. By June 30, 1980, if agreement on the priority plan for expenditure has not been submitted to the Director of Parks and Recreation, the county board of supervisors shall petition the Director of Parks and Recreation to distribute to high-priority projects the remaining 80 percent of the county's allocation.(d) Applications for individual projects may be submitted directly to the Director of Parks and Recreation by individual jurisdictions.Ca.
