SECTION 40270-40276
40270. The bay district may borrow money and incur indebtedness in anticipation of the revenue for the current year in which the indebtedness is incurred or for the ensuing year. Such indebtedness shall not exceed the total amount of the estimate of the tax income for either the current year or the ensuing year. 40271. Before the first day of September of each year, the bay district board shall estimate and determine the amount of money required by the bay district for its purposes during the fiscal year and shall apportion this amount to the counties included within the bay district, one-half according to the relative assessed value of property on the secured roll of each county, or that portion thereof, within the bay district as determined by the bay district board and one-half in the proportion that the population of each county, or that portion thereof, within the bay district bears to the total population of the bay district. For the purposes of this section, the bay district board shall base its determination of the population on the latest official information available to it. The total amount of money required by the bay district to be apportioned to the counties, or that portion thereof, included within the bay district for its purposes shall not exceed two cents ($0.02) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of the assessed value of all the property included within the bay district. 40272. On or before the first day of September of each year, the bay district board shall certify to the auditor of each county the total amount apportioned to the county. Each board of supervisors shall levy an ad valorem tax on the taxable property, but not including intangible personal property, within the county, or that portion thereof, included within the bay district sufficient to secure the amount so apportioned to it. Such taxes shall be levied and collected together with, and not separately from, the taxes for county purposes and shall be paid to the treasurer of each of the counties to the credit of the bay district. 40273. Taxes levied by the board of supervisors for the benefit of the bay district shall be a lien upon all property within such county, or portion thereof, lying within the bay district, and shall have the same force and effect as other liens for taxes. Their collection may be enforced in the same manner as liens for county taxes are enforced. 40274. The treasurers of the counties included, in whole or in part, within the bay district shall pay into the bay district treasury all funds held by them to the credit of the bay district. 40275. The bay district treasury shall be in the custody of the county treasurer of a county within the bay district designated by the bay district board, and that treasurer shall be the bay district treasurer. 40276. The bay district board shall, in carrying out the provisions of this article, comply as nearly as possible with the provisions of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 29000), Division 3, Title 3 of the Government Code.
