The resolution adopted pursuant to this subdivision may direct the county auditor-controller to allocate less than the full amount of the property tax increment, and to establish a maximum amount of time in years that the allocation takes place. These amounts shall be allocated to the authority and, when collected, shall be held in a separate fund by the authority. Before adopting a resolution pursuant to this subdivision, a city, county, or special district shall approve a memorandum of understanding with the authority governing the use of property tax increment funds by the authority for administrative and overhead expenses.(2) The provision for the receipt of property tax increment shall become effective in the property tax year that begins after the December 1 immediately following the adoption of a resolution pursuant paragraph (1). A resolution adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be provided to the county auditor-controller no later than the December 1 immediately following its adoption.(3) A resolution adopted pursuant to this subdivision may be repealed and be of no further effect beginning in the fiscal year following the adoption of any repeal, by giving the county auditor-controller at least 90 days notice prior to the end of the current fiscal year, provided, however, that the county auditor-controller shall continue to allocate the taxing entitys share of ad valorem property taxes that have been pledged to the repayment of debt issued by the authority to the authority until that debt has been fully repaid, including by means of a refinancing or refunding, unless otherwise agreed upon by the authority and the taxing entity. For purposes of determining the annual amount of a taxing entitys share of ad valorem property taxes that shall continue to be allocated to an authority following a repeal, the annual amount allocated for all years until the debt has been fully repaid shall be the maximum amount required to service the debt for any single annual period as provided in the authoritys debt service schedule.(4) When the loans, advances, and indebtedness of an authority, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, or the maximum amount of time in years has passed in accordance with a resolution adopted pursuant to this subdivision, all funds thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the authoritys boundaries shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid.(5) All of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the boundaries of the authority shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as though the authority had not been created unless the total assessed valuation of the taxable property in the boundaries of an authority exceeds the total assessed value of the taxable property in the boundaries as shown by the last equalized assessment roll.(b) (1) At any time before or after the adoption of the plan, a city, county, or special district, other than a school entity as defined in subdivision (n) of Section 95 of the Revenue and Taxation Code or a successor agency as defined in subdivision (j) of Section 34171, may adopt a resolution to allocate tax revenues of that entity to the authority, including revenues derived from local sales and use taxes imposed pursuant to the Bradley-Burns Uniform Local Sales and Use Tax Law (Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code) or transactions and use taxes imposed pursuant to the Transactions and Use Tax Law (Part 1.6 (commencing with Section 7251) of the Revenue and Taxation Code), provided that both of the following apply:(A) The use of those revenues by the authority for purposes of this division is consistent with the purposes for which that tax was imposed.(B) The boundaries of the authority are coterminous with the city or county that established the authority.(2) A resolution adopted pursuant to this subdivision may be repealed and be of no further effect, provided, however, that the tax revenues allocated to the authority that have been pledged to the repayment of debt issued by the authority shall continue to be so allocated until that debt has been fully repaid, including by means of a refinancing or refunding, unless otherwise agreed upon by the authority and the taxing entity.(c) A minimum of 95 percent of the allocated property tax increment revenues pursuant to subdivision (a), and allocated tax revenues pursuant to subdivision (b), shall be used to increase, improve, and preserve the communitys supply of housing for low, very low, and moderate-income households.
