(a)
A local agency, as defined in Section 99602 of the Public Utilities Code, that is a lead applicant agency for a project that may be funded pursuant to the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Act of 1990 (Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code) may apply to the commission for a letter of no prejudice for the project or a component of the project. The commission may approve the letter of no prejudice for one or
more projects or project components that the commission has programmed, allocated, or otherwise approved for funding. The letter of no prejudice shall reference the project or component thereof and the amount of bond funding that is programmed, allocated, or otherwise approved for that project or project component. The commission may approve a letter of no prejudice without further appropriation of funds in the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund, as moneys in that fund are continuously appropriated to the commission for allocation pursuant to Section 99612 of the Public Utilities Code.
(b)
Expenditures for the costs, up to the amount set forth in the letter of no prejudice, of a project or project component for which a letter of no prejudice has been issued shall be eligible for reimbursement from the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund if all of the following apply:
(1)
The project or project component for which the letter of no prejudice was requested has commenced and expenditures on the project or project component have been incurred by the local agency.
(2)
The expenditures made by the local agency are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with state and federal laws and procedures, and are permitted expenditures under the applicable provisions of the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Act of 1990 (Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code). If expenditures made are determined to be ineligible, then the state has no obligation to reimburse for those expenditures.
(3)
The local agency complies with all legal requirements for the project, including the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13
(commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code).
(4)
The expenditures were incurred after the project or project component was programmed, allocated, or otherwise approved for funding by the commission.
(5)
There is in the Clean Air and Transportation Improvement Fund an amount sufficient to make the reimbursement payment. Nothing in this section requires the fund to be funded at any particular time or in any particular amount.
(c)
The commission and the local agency may enter into an agreement or agreements governing reimbursement as described in this section.
(d)
Nothing in this section modifies any requirement under Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code. Without limiting the foregoing,
nothing in this section or in any letter of no prejudice shall eliminate or modify any condition or requirement for granting, allocation, or reallocation of funds or any other provision relating to grants, allocations, or reallocations in Part 11.5 (commencing with Section 99600) of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code.
(e)
For purposes of this section, “letter of no prejudice” means an agreement between a local agency and the commission that makes eligible for future reimbursement from bond proceeds the expenditure of funds under the control of the local agency, subject to availability of bond funds, as provided in this section. The timing and final amount of reimbursement is dependent on the terms of the agreement and the availability of bond funds. The final amount of reimbursement may be less than the amount stated in the letter of no prejudice.
