(a) (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Auditor for the County of San Diego shall, in allocating ad valorem property tax revenues in accordance with subdivision (a) of Section 96.1 in each of the 1999–2000, 2000–01, and 2001–02 fiscal years, do both of the following:
(A) Decrease the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise deemed allocated to the County of San Diego in the prior fiscal year by an amount, not to exceed three million dollars ($3,000,000), as specified in an ordinance or resolution as described in subdivision (b).
(B) Increase the total amount of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise deemed allocated to the county free library in the prior fiscal year by an amount equal to the amount of the decrease required by subparagraph (A).
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, in each of the 1999–2000, 2000–01, and 2001–02 fiscal years only, the auditor shall allocate the “annual tax increment” pursuant to Section 96.5 in those amounts that would be so allocated if no reduction or increase had been required in any fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (1). In the 2002–03 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the auditor shall allocate the “annual tax increment” pursuant to Section 96.5 in those amounts that fully reflect any increase or decrease required in any fiscal year by paragraph (1).

Any ordinance or resolution that is adopted pursuant to the preceding sentence shall do both of the following:
(1) Specify either the amount that is to be reallocated in accordance with paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) in each fiscal year described in that subdivision, or a procedure for determining that reallocation amount for each of those same fiscal years.
(2) Prohibit the total of the amounts reallocated in accordance with paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) from exceeding nine million dollars ($9,000,000).
