Inglewood Municipal Code § 9-146 Financial Provisions

Upon receipt of moneys representing assessments collected by the county, the Finance Director shall deposit the moneys in the treasury of the City to the credit of a police service fund for the assessment district from which they were collected, and the moneys shall be expended only for the services authorized for such district.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88; Ord. 03-19 10-14-03; Ord. 07-08 4-25-07)

If there is a surplus or a deficit in the police service fund of an assessment district at the end of any fiscal year, the surplus or deficit shall be carried forward to the next annual assessment to be levied within such district and applied as a credit or a debit, as the case may be, against such assessment.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

If there is a deficit in the police service fund of an assessment district during any fiscal year, the City Council, from any available and unencumbered funds of the City, may provide for:

(1) A contribution to the fund;

(2) A temporary advance to the fund and direct that the advance be repaid from the next annual assessments levied and collected within the assessment district.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

The City Council may accept contributions from any source toward payment of police service costs. The City Council, at any time either before or after the confirmation of the assessment, may provide for contributions towards payment of such costs from the funds of the City. All contributions shall be deposited in the police service fund of the assessment district for which the contribution was provided.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

All contributions authorized prior to the confirmation of an assessment shall be deducted from the total costs to be assessed within the assessment district.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

The City Council may by resolution determine that the estimated cost of specified proposed services including costs of equipment and personnel is greater than can be conveniently raised from a single annual assessment and order that such estimated cost shall be raised by an assessment levied and collected in installments over a period not to exceed five fiscal years. The resolution shall generally describe the proposed services set forth the estimated cost thereof, specify the number of annual installments and the fiscal years during which they are to be collected, and fix or determine the total amount of each annual installment.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

After adoption of a resolution providing for annual installment assessments, the Police Chief, in preparing reports required by Sections 9-141 through 9-141.9 of this Article, shall include in the estimate and the assessment for each fiscal year specified in the resolution the total amount of the annual installment fixed or determined for such year.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

If a resolution providing for annual installment payments has been adopted, in the resolution or subsequent thereto, the City Council may provide for:

(1) The accumulation of the moneys collected from the annual installments in the police service fund until there shall be sufficient moneys to pay all or part of the cost of the services described in the resolution;

(2) A temporary advance to the police service fund from any available and unencumbered funds of the City to pay all or part of the cost of the services described in the resolution and direct that the advance be repaid from the annual installments levied and collected during the fiscal years designated in the resolution.

(Ord. 88-5 4-19-88)

(a) Nothing in this Article shall be construed as permitting the levy of an assessment upon any property when such levy would be in violation of either the Constitution of the United States or the State of California.

(b) Assessments permitted pursuant to the authority of this Article shall not be levied upon the Federal government, the state government, any state agency or any local governmental agency or any other firm or entity which is otherwise exempt by the State Constitution or state law from the payment of ad valorem property taxes.
