SECTION 9. Funding
a. The Board shall adopt an annual budget for the Authority's activities within
ninety (90) days of the date the Elections Office certifies the successful passage of
the tax measure proposed concurrently with this Agreement to fund this
Authority, and by June 1 of each succeeding year. In adopting the annual budget,
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Amended 10 2/2019
the Board must consider recommendations from the Operations Committee. The
annual budget shall identify the programs of the Authority and allocate funds by
program. The budget and accounting system shall account for direct and
overhead costs by program. The Board shall allocate these costs for each program
with the adoption of the annual budget. To the extent changes to the budget under
California law require approval of more than a simple majority of Members, the
population representation requirement of Section 41. shall not increase. To
accelerate services being provided to the community, during the first year of
operations any core program funds not allocated to Authority start-up costs will
be returned to Members in proportion to the tax revenue raised that fiscal year in
each Member's respective tax rate area for uses that are consistent with the tax
measure funding the Authority. This provision shall not be construed to prevent
the Board of Directors from allocating funds for multi-year projects or programs.
b. The core program functions of the Authority will be funded by 601 o of the tax
measure proceeds and will consist of, but not be limited to, vegetation
management; wildfire detection; evacuation plans and alerts; grants; and public
education. The Authority may allocate core funds to local wildfire prevention
efforts, should the Board of Directors determine the core functions of the
Authority are being served. Vegetation management funds will be allocated with
consideration towards equitable spending over the five operational zones. As part
of the five year review of the funding levels described in Section 9f, at least 80%
of the revenue generated for vegetation management by each operational zone
should be allocated within the respective zone. If this requirement is not met, it
must be remedied within the next 5 year period.
c. Defensible space and fire-resistant structure evaluations, and mitigation of fire
threats thereof, will be funded by 20% of the tax measure proceeds and will be
done on a shared service basis or by the responsible Member consistent with
Section 10. Within the defensible space program, an Abatement program shall be
created by the Authority, funded with 2° o of the total tax measure proceeds.
Funds from this Abatement program are retained by the Authority,
notwithstanding a Member selecting to locally administer pursuant to Section 10.
The Authority will only enforce a uniform abatement code. Litigation of
abatements is the responsibility of the Member.
d. Local -specific wildfire prevention efforts will be funded by 200 o of the tax
measure proceeds and allocated to each Member in proportion to revenue raised
in each Member's respective tax rate areas. Members must certify that the tax
measure proceeds are used consistent with the purpose of the Authority and that
the tax measure expenses result in a higher level of service than would otherwise
be provided by the Member.
e. An administrative cost of not more than 10% will be budgeted for each program,
i.e. the core program functions and the Authority administered defensible space
evaluation program. Should a Member locally administer the defensible space
evaluations pursuant to Section 10, an administrative cost will not be withheld by
7
Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement Amended 10 2 2019
the Authority for that program. The Board shall determine the methodology for
calculating administrative costs.
f. In Fiscal Year 2025-26, 2030-31, 2035-36 and continuing every five years
thereafter, the Board may alter the funding levels of the core program functions of
subsection 9.b. and the defensible space evaluations from subsection 9.c. The
local -specific wildfire prevention efforts of subsection 9.d. will remain funded by
200o of the tax measure proceeds. A vote to alter the funding levels pursuant to
this section shall require two-thirds approval of Directors voting to alter the
funding levels, while maintaining the over 50% of the population represented by
the Member agencies requirement in accordance with the voting rules set forth in
Section 4.f. Should the Board approve changes to the funding levels of the
programs, to provide adequate notice to Member agencies, those changes will not
go into effect until two fiscal years after the changes were approved. For
example, if funding levels of programs are altered during Fiscal Year 2025-26,
those changes will not be implemented until the budget of Fiscal Year 2027-28.
SECTION 10. Option to Locally Administer the Section 5.b. Defensible Space
Program
a. Should a Member choose to locally administer the Authority power set forth in
Section 5.b., that member shall evaluate structures and defensible space so
property owners can enhance compliance with fire and building codes through
homeowner education and, as necessary, enforcement follow-up. The Member
choosing to locally administer the powers in Section 5.b. must certify that the
Member shall use the funds provided by the Authority exclusively to evaluate
defensible space and to enhance compliance with structures and land meeting fire
and building codes, and not for any other purpose. Tax measure proceeds will be
allocated to Members choosing to locally administer in an amount approximately
equal to each Member's proportion of revenue raised in each Member's
respective tax rate areas, as determined by the Board. For those Members
remaining in the defensible space program, the Authority will expend the tax
measure proceeds in an amount aproximately equal to each Member's propotion
of revenue raised in each Member's respective tax rate areas. Additionally, the
Authority shall be entitled to retain 2% of the overall tax measure proceeds for the
Authority's Abatement program, regardless of how many Members choose to
exclusively manage their own defensible space program.
b. Eligibility for a Member to elect to locally administer the defensible space
program shall be effective beginning in Fiscal Year 2027-28, 2032-33, 2037-38
and continuing every five years thereafter. A Member must provide notice that it
elects to opt -out or rescind its opt -out election by October 31 for the next fiscal
year beginning on July 1. A Member may opt -out of the defensible space
program before May 30, 2020 by providing notice to the Authority. Members can
only subsequently opt out during certain years as set forth above. A Member
choosing to exclusively manage its own defensible space program may be
responsible for a reasonable exit fee, as determined by the Authority. Members
