(i)  Transfers shall be made only to the extent that binding commitments from donors for gifts that qualify for the athletics facilities matching program under W.S. 21‑16‑1001(a)(ii) have been made.  The university shall provide documentation satisfactory to the state treasurer regarding binding commitments eligible for the transfer of funds;

(iv)  Not later than January 1, 2012, the university shall repay all loans made under this section and accrued interest.  If the payments from donors are insufficient to repay the loan, the loan balance together with any state matching funds exceeding the paid qualifying contributions shall be fully repaid from non-state revenues generated by the university’s department of intercollegiate athletics.  Repayment of the loan principal shall be deposited into the University permanent land fund account, and payments of interest shall be deposited in the University permanent land fund income account.  Any repayment of unmatched state funds shall be deposited to the challenge account created by W.S. 21‑16‑1002(a).".  COE, DECARIA, HINES

Section 323.

(a)  There is appropriated one hundred seventy million dollars ($170,000,000.00) from the general fund to the office of state lands and investments to be allocated pursuant to the following and as further provided in this section:

(i)  Forty-four million eight hundred twenty-six thousand six hundred sixty-seven dollars ($44,826,667.00) for direct distribution to cities and towns;

(ii)  Sixteen million nine hundred thirteen thousand three hundred thirty-three dollars ($16,913,333.00) for direct distribution to counties;

(iii)  Four million one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($4,130,000.00) for revenue challenged cities and towns;

(iv)  Four million one hundred thirty thousand dollars ($4,130,000.00) for revenue challenged counties;

(v)  One hundred million dollars ($100,000,000.00) for county block distribution for capital projects.

[CITY AND TOWN DIRECT DISTRIBUTION ALLOCATIONS]

(b)  Funds appropriated in paragraph (a)(i) of this section are to be distributed to cities and towns in two (2) equal distributions on August 15, 2008 and on August 15, 2009, subject to the following:

(i)  From these distributions each city or town with a population of thirty-five (35) or less shall first receive two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) and each city or town with a population over thirty-five (35) shall first receive five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).  From the remainder each city and town shall receive amounts in accordance with a municipal supplemental funding formula as provided in this paragraph with each city or town receiving amounts in the proportion which the adjusted population of the city or town bears to the adjusted population of all cities and towns in Wyoming.  The municipal supplemental funding formula shall be calculated by the office of state lands and investments as follows:

(A)  Calculate the per capita distribution of sales and use tax revenues for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006 and ending June 30, 2007 to each county, including distributions to each city and town within that county, under W.S. 39‑15‑111 and 39‑16‑111, but excluding the distribution exclusively to counties under W.S. 39‑15‑111(b)(iii) made from an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) of the tax collected under W.S. 39‑15‑104, and excluding the distribution exclusively to counties under W.S. 39‑16‑111(b)(iii) made from an amount equivalent to one percent (1%) of the tax collected under W.S. 39‑16‑104;

(B)  Arrange the counties in ascending order by the per capita distribution calculated;

(C)  Following the arrangement of counties in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, list the population of each city and town within the county;

(D)  Apply the appropriate adjustment factor determined in subdivisions (I) through (V) of this subparagraph for a county to each city and town within that county:

(I)  Beginning with the county with the lowest per capita distribution, an adjustment factor of one and one-half (1.5) shall be applied to each county listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, so long as its incorporated population plus the incorporated population of each county with a lower per capita distribution is within the lowest tenth percentile.  The adjustment factor shall be applied for each of these counties by multiplying the incorporated population of the county by one hundred fifty percent (150%);
