was allocated to that city for the 1995-96 fiscal year.
   (ii) The amount that was in fact allocated from the county's
Public Safety Augmentation Fund to that city for the 1996-97 fiscal

amount so computed for each city shall be allocated to that city.
   (3) This subdivision applies only to the Counties of Fresno,
Kings, Merced, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo.
   (4) This subdivision shall apply to a particular county described

   (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the amount in the
augmentation fund established pursuant to this section for the County
of Alameda shall be allocated to the cities in the County of Alameda
that provide public safety services as follows:

County of Los Angeles shall be allocated to each eligible city in
the county that provides public safety services as follows:
   (1) For the 1997-98 and each fiscal year thereafter, the auditor
shall allocate to eligible cities within the county the same

received from amounts deposited into the augmentation fund for the
1995-96 fiscal year.
   (2) For the 1996-97 fiscal year, the auditor shall allocate to
eligible cities within the county the amount that would have been
allocated to each of those cities had subdivision (a), as it read on
January 1, 1997, been applied to amounts deposited into the
augmentation fund for the 1995-96 fiscal year.
   (3) Any amount calculated for a city pursuant to paragraph (2)
that differs from the amount allocated to a city in the 1995-96
fiscal year shall be known as the "reconciliation amount."
   (4) Any positive reconciliation amount calculated for a city
pursuant to paragraph (3) shall be allocated to the appropriate city
according to the following schedule:
   (A) For the 1996-97 fiscal year, 50 percent of the reconciliation
amount shall be paid within 31 days of the effective date of the act
adding this subdivision.
   (B) For the 1997-98 fiscal year, 25 percent of the reconciliation
amount shall be paid, on a monthly basis, in 12 equal installments,
with the first payment due July 20, 1997. However, any installment
that is due prior to the effective date of the act adding this
subdivision is due within 31 days of the effective date of the act
adding this subdivision if that effective date is after July 20,
1997.
   (C) For the 1998-99 fiscal year, 25 percent of the reconciliation
amount shall be paid in full by September 30, 1998.
   (5) The amount due a city in the fiscal year identified in
paragraph (4) shall be offset by the positive growth calculated as
follows:
   (A) For the 1996-97 fiscal year, positive growth is the difference
between a city's share of funds allocated in the 1995-96 fiscal year
and the amount calculated as if paragraph (1) had been in effect for
the 1996-97 fiscal year. If positive growth for the 1996-97 fiscal
year cannot be calculated at the time the allocation is made to a
city pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4), the positive
growth for the 1996-97 fiscal year will be treated as an additional
offset against payments to that city required pursuant to
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4).
   (B) For the 1997-98 fiscal year, positive growth is the difference
between a city's share of funds that would have been allocated in
the 1996-97 fiscal year, had the allocation requirement of paragraph
(1) been in effect for the 1996-97 fiscal year, and the amount
calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) for the 1997-98 fiscal year.
   (C) For the 1998-99 fiscal year, positive growth is the difference
between a city's share of funds allocated in the 1997-98 fiscal
year, excluding the reconciliation amount for that year, and the
amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) for the 1998-99 fiscal
year.
   (6) Reconciliation amounts due in the 1998-99 fiscal year that are
paid later than September 30, 1998, shall be subject to interest at
the rate of 7 percent calculated from July 1, 1997.
   (f) All moneys in the Public Safety Augmentation Fund not
allocated to any city within the county pursuant to subdivision (a),
(b), (c), (d), or (e) shall be allocated to the county.
   (g) The amendments made to subdivision (a) by the act adding this
subdivision shall be applicable for the 1997-98 fiscal year and each
fiscal year thereafter.

its respective jurisdiction from existing local financial resources,
in an amount for the fiscal year that is less than the base amount
for that local agency, shall have its total fiscal year allocations
from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund reduced by the difference
between those amounts. Any amount not allocated to a county as a
result of this paragraph shall be allocated to cities in that county
in proportion to the total fiscal year allocations otherwise received
by those cities pursuant to Section 30054, and any amount not
allocated to a city or cities as a result of this paragraph shall be
allocated to the county. For purposes of applying this subdivision,
the amount of funding within a local jurisdiction for combined public
safety services for each fiscal year shall be determined in

decision, that is rendered on or before December 31, 1994, pursuant
to binding labor arbitration as required by that city's charter as
approved by the voters on November 4, 1980, the amount of funding for

increased or decreased in accordance with the positive or negative
difference between the amount allocated for the 1994-95 fiscal year
to that local agency from the Public Safety Augmentation Fund and the
corresponding amount allocated to that local agency for the 1993-94
fiscal year. For purposes of this subparagraph, the amount to be
