BACKGROUND
This '/z cent sales tax was authorized in 1994 as a result of the 1993/94 state budget process. Proposition
172 (Senate Bill 509) designated that the '/z 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 0242). Probation (Departments (0308, 0309, 0310, 0311), Public Defender
(Department 0243), Sheriff-Coroner (Departments 0255, 0300, and 0359). and Inmate Medical Care
(Department 0301). 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), and
in 2006/07 the County received $67.3 million. In FY 2007/08, it is estimated that we will receive $66.4
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 42%
of the District:Attorney's annual net cost of operations and 32% of the Sheriffs annual net cost of
operations.
We have determined that for FY 2007/08, the adopted budget for the County-defined public safety services
exceeds the County's MOE obligation by $ 135.1 million. In computing the MOE, 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 the County will receive its full
allotment of Proposition 172 funds for the current year.

Step#3: New Base Amount for Local Agency
AB2788 includes a growth factor provision equal to the previous years' growth in Proposition
