V. USER and COUNTY agree to the following: a) ESTIMATES OF ANNUAL PROPORTIONAL SHARES OF COSTS. An estimate of the annual proportional share of SYSTEM COSTS and OPERATIONAL COSTS to be paid by each USER (COUNTY is deemed a USER for purposes of this section) will be determined annually by the RAN BOARD based 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 on the percentage of the total population of all USER entities residing in each USER entity on January 31 of each year, as indicated in the latest edition of "Population Estimates for California Cities and Counties" prepared by the State of California Department of Finance California Demographic Research Unit. The estimate of COUNTY'S proportional share will be calculated based on the percentage of the total population of all USER entities residing in unincorporated areas of Orange County on January 31 of each year. In the event the California Demographic Research unit no longer issues demographic data, the RAN BOARD shall determine the source of the population data to be used in doing the above -described calculations. (1) COUNTY will issue monthly invoices to each USER for one -twelfth of the estimate of its annual proportional share of SYSTEM COSTS and OPERATIONAL COSTS. (2) USERS will pay the estimate of their annual proportional shares of SYSTEM COSTS and OPERATIONAL COSTS on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoices from the COUNTY. (3) COUNTY will credit all payments received from USERS for their proportional shares of SYSTEM COSTS to the SYSTEM COSTS special revenue fund and all payments received from USERS for their proportional shares of OPERATIONAL COSTS to the OPERATIONAL COSTS special revenue fund. b) SHORTFALL IN OPERATIONAL COSTS. In the event anticipated OPERATIONAL COSTS exceed in any fiscal year the sum of the estimates of USERS' proportional shares of OPERATIONAL COSTS and any other moneys appropriated to the OPERATIONAL COSTS special revenue fund, the RAN BOARD will calculate each USER'S proportional share of said shortfall using the methodology described in Section V. a) of this Agreement. COUNTY will issue an additional invoice to each USER for its proportional share of said shortfall. Each USER shall pay said invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt. COUNTY shall credit all payments 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 received from USERS for said invoices to the OPERATIONAL COSTS special revenue fund. c) EXCESS SYSTEM COSTS.

If COUNTY's Board of Supervisors and a majority of the governing bodies of the other USERS approve, the RAN BOARD may recommend expenditure of, and COUNTY may expend or encumber, EXCESS SYSTEM COSTS. The RAN BOARD shall calculate each USER's proportional share of EXCESS SYSTEM COSTS using the methodology described in Section V. a) of this Agreement.
