RTC §7212: Any redevelopment agency adopting a sales and use tax ordinance pursuant to Section 7202.

Any redevelopment agency adopting a sales and use tax ordinance pursuant to Section 7202.6 shall pay to the board its costs of preparation to administer and operate the sales and use tax ordinance. The agency shall pay such costs monthly as incurred and billed by the board. The costs include all preparatory costs, including costs of developing procedures, programming for data processing, developing and adopting appropriate regulations, designing and printing of forms, developing instructions for the board’s staff and for taxpayers, and other necessary preparatory costs which shall include the board’s direct and indirect costs as specified by Section 11256 of the Government Code. Any disputes as to the amount of preparatory costs incurred shall be resolved by the Director of Finance, and his decision shall be final. The maximum amount of all preparatory costs to be paid by the district shall not, in any event, exceed five hundred seventy thousand dollars ($570,000). If for any reason the ordinance adopted pursuant to Section 7202.6 is declared to be invalid, the board shall not be required to refund any or all revenues collected pursuant to that ordinance, but rather those revenues shall be distributed to the city within which the redevelopment agency operates.
