reflecting final population estimates as of April of the same calendar year). For each Service Year, the OFM reported population will be adjusted for annexations of 2,500 or more residents known to be occurring after April, 2012 and before the end of the Service Year. For example, when the final Estimated Payment calculation for 2013 is provided on December 15, 2012, the population numbers used will be from the OFM report issued in July 2012 and will be adjusted for all annexations of 2,500 or more residents that occurred (or are known to be occurring) between April 2012 and December 31, 2013. In any Service Year, if: (1) annexations of areas with a population of 2,500 or more people occurs to impact the population within the jurisdiction of a Contracting Party; or (2) a Latecomer City is brought under contract with the County, these changes shall be accounted for in the calculation of the Estimated Payment for such Service Year by adjusting the "Program Load Factor" (or "LF") for each Contracting Party. Such adjustment shall be made at the next occurring possibility (e.g., at calculation of the Preliminary Estimated Payment, Final Estimated Payment, or Reconciliation, whichever is soonest). The adjustment in LF will be made on a pro rata basis to reflect the portion of the year in which the population change was in effect. • In the case of an annexation, the LF calculation will consider the time the annexed area was in the Contracting Party's jurisdiction and the portion of the year in which the area was not in such Party's jurisdiction, as well as the relative shift in population (if any) attributable solely to the annexation as between all Contracting Parties, by adding (or subtracting) to the LF for each Contracting Party an amount that is 20% (reflecting the general allocation of cost under the Agreement based on population) of the change in population for each Contracting Party (expressed as a percentage of the Contracting Party's population as compared to the total population for all Contracting Parties) derived by comparing the Final 2013 Estimated Payment population percentage (LF) to the population percentage after considering the annexation. The population of an annexed area will be as determined by the Boundary Review Board, in consultation with the annexing city. The population of the unincorporated area within any District will be determined by the County's demographer. • In the case of a Latecomer City, the population shall be similarly adjusted among all Contracting Parties in the manner described above for annexations, by considering the change in population between all Contracting Parties attributable solely to the Latecomer City becoming a Contracting Party. Exhibit C-1 shows the calculation of Pre -Commitment EP for Service Year 2013, assuming that the County and all Cities that have expressed interest in signing this Agreement as of May 16, 2012, do in fact approve and sign the Agreement and as a result the Minimum Contract Requirements with respect to all such Cities and the County are met per Section 15.
