Proposition 172 (Senate Bill 509) designated that the %2 cent sales tax be deposited to newly-created state and local public safety trust funds and allocated to local agencies to fund public safety activities such as police, sheriff,fire, district attorney, county corrections, and ocean lifeguards. Court operations were explicitly excluded. To prevent supplantation of local revenues that would have otherwise been allocated to public safety functions with Proposition 172 sales tax, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 2788 as Chapter 886, Statutes of 1994. AB 2733 requires a local agency to commit at least the same resources as were committed in FY 1992/93 (minus certain exclusions), adjusted each year by any growth in its Proposition 172 revenue, as maintenance of effort(MOE) in order to qualify to receive Proposition 172 (Public Safety Sales Tax). AB 2733 does not specifically define what is meant by"public safety services"and allows each county to make its own computation. In implementing the MOE section of Assembly Bill 2788, as indicated in the Certification Form, it was most advantageous for this County to define public safety as follows: District Attorney(Department 242), Probation(Departments(308, 309, 310, 311), Public Defender(Department 243), Sheriff-Coroner(Departments 255, 300, and 359), and Inmate Medical Care (Department 301). It should be noted that the definition of"public safety services"for computation of the MOE obligation does not in any way detract from the Board's authority to designate those funds to whatever public safety department or service it chooses. In FY 2005/06, this County received $$69.3 million in public safety sales tax funds (Proposition 172). In FY 2006/07, it is estimated that we will receive $68.6 million. All of these estimated funds have been budgeted in the District Attorney and Sheriff budgets,pursuant to Board action. For the current year, it is estimated that Proposition 172 funds will pay for 50%of the District Attorney's annual net cost of operations and 46%of the Sheriff's annual net cost of operations. We have determined that for FY 2006/07,the adopted budget for the County-defined public safety services exceeds its MOE obligation by$104.6 million. In computing the MOE effort, we followed the Public Safety MOE Requirement Uniform Guidelines for California Counties and Cities approved by the State Association of County Auditors. Authorizing the County Administrator to execute and submit the MOE Certification Form to the County Auditor-Controller will assure that we will receive our full allotment of Proposition 172 funds for the current year.
