ATTACHMENT TO RESOLUTION
LOS ANGELES COUNTY
PRIORITY PLAN FOR EXPENDITURE
NEJEDLY-HART STATE, URBAN, AND COASTAL PARK BOND ACT OF 1976
41 I. Twenty-five percent (25%) of -the funds available for
the agencies in Los Angeles County will be allocated to the
County of Los Angeles in recognition of its regional park
responsibilities in addition to its local park responsibilities
for the unincorporated areas. Based on the State's current
projected 1980 population, the funds available for the agencies
of Los Angeles County will be $24,501,697. This figure is
subject to minor change when the State Department of Finance
recomputes the projected 1980 population in January 1977. The
States- January 1977 projected 1980 population of Counties will
be the basis on which the funds will be allocated to Counties.
Therefore, the County of Los Angeles can expect to allocate
about $6,125,424 (25%) of $24,501,697).
• II. Cities in Los Angeles County with a population of
less than 3,275 will receive $10,000 based on the plan that
no City will receive less than $10,000.
III. The remaining funds will be allocated to Cities on
a per capita basis. The population figures to be used in
computing the amount to he allocated to each City will be.the
State of California Department of Finance estimated population
as of January 1977. It is estimated that each City would be
allocated about $3.05 per capita.
