Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the 2008–09 fiscal year, no funds deposited in the county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this section shall be distributed to a community college district.
(b) The legislative body may make the remittance authorized by this section from any funds that are legally available for this purpose. No moneys held in an agency’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, pursuant to Sections 33334.2, 33334.3, and 33334.6, shall be used for this purpose.
(c) If the legislative body, pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 33685, reported to the county auditor that it intended to remit the amount in lieu of the agency and the legislative body fails to transmit the full amount as authorized by this section by May 10, 2009, the county auditor, no later than May 15, 2009, shall transfer an amount necessary to meet the obligation from the legislative body’s allocations pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.
