CB CalBallot

(INITIATIVE) Shall the ordinance shifting a portion of the County's Proposition 172 sales tax revenues from the County Sheriff-Coroner and District Attorney to the Orange County Fire Authority ("OCFA"), a joint powers agency serving 43% of the County's population in 22 of 34 cities and unincorporated territory, utilizing the following formula: the amount of Proposition 172 sales tax revenues the County receives that is not allocated to cities ("County's Share") in fiscal year 2004-2005 ("Base Year Amount") would be subtracted from the County's Share, beginning with the 2005-2006 fiscal year; if the resulting figure is a positive number, 50% of that amount would be allocated to OCFA, and 50% plus the Base Year Amount would be allocated to the County for allocation to public safety providers as provided by California law; however, for any year that the Base Year Amount is greater than the County's Share, OCFA would not be entitled to receive any of the County Share; the allocation formula would change once the amount paid to OCFA in any fiscal year equals 10% of the County's Share; thereafter, 10% of the County's Share would be allocated to OCFA, and 90% would be available for allocation by the County to public safety providers as provided by California law, be adopted?
