Statute text

(a)All of the funds authorized in subdivision (a) of Section 5096.151 for local assistance grants shall be allocated among the counties on the basis of their populations as most recently projected by the Department of Finance for 1980.

(b)Each total county allocation 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 shall be entitled to a minimum allocation of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).

(c)Each county shall consult with all cities and districts within the county and shall develop and submit a priority plan for expenditure of the total county allocation to the state for approval. The priority plan shall consist of an apportionment of the total county allocation to the county, cities, and districts. The priority plan may include the names of individual projects under each jurisdiction and shall reflect consideration of deficiencies within the county in the preservation of historical resources and natural landscapes as well as in the provision of recreational areas and facilities. The priority plan 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. Recognizing the fact that the boundaries of some cities and districts overlap, only the jurisdictions that will actually provide the facilities contemplated in the priority plan may participate in the approval process. In any county in which a regional park or open-space district is wholly or partially located, the priority plan shall reflect regional park or open-space needs as well as community and neighborhood park and recreation needs.
