(a)
Prior to entering into an agreement to finance the lease or lease-purchase of property through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, or at any time with respect to a financing agreement with respect to which an election has been made under Section 25350.9, the board of supervisors of a county of the second class may elect, by resolution, to guarantee payment under that financing agreement in accordance with the following:
(1)
If a county elects to participate under this section, it shall provide notice to the Controller of that election, and the notice shall include a schedule for the payments to be made by the county under that financing agreement and identify a trustee appointed by the county for the purpose of this section.
(2)
In the event that, for any reason, the funds available to the county will not be sufficient to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the county shall so notify the trustee. The trustee shall immediately communicate that information to the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders and to the Controller.
(3)
When the Controller receives notice from the trustee as specified in paragraph (2) or the county fails to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the Controller shall make an apportionment to the trustee in the amount of that required payment for the purpose of making that payment. The Controller shall make that payment only from moneys to be transmitted to the county by the State Board of Equalization under Section 7204 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, that are derived from that portion of the sales and use taxes imposed by the county pursuant to Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, other than the portion of the taxes described in Section 29530.6, and shall thereupon reduce, by the amount of the payment, the subsequent amounts to which the county would be entitled under that section.
(b)
As an alternative to the procedure set forth in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a), the board of supervisors of a county may provide a transfer schedule in a notice to the Controller and the State Board of Equalization of its election to participate under this section. The transfer schedule shall set forth amounts to be transferred to the trustee and the date or dates for the transfers and the Controller shall, subject to the limitation in the second sentence of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), make apportionments to the trustee in those amounts on the specified date or dates for the purpose of making those transfers.
(c)
If the county is no longer obligated for any period to make all or a portion of the payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders, the Controller, and the State Board of Equalization. Upon receipt of the notification, the Controller shall cease making the transfers. If after the giving of the notice, the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds is restored, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders, the Controller, and the State Board of Equalization. Upon receipt of the notification, the Controller shall resume making the transfers.
(d)
Any election made by a county of the second class pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any other election made by the county pursuant to any other applicable provision of law to guarantee the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase of property financed through certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds.
