20 4. After applying the applicable statutory
21 distribution formulas to the amounts indicated in
22 subsection 2 for purposes to produce preliminary
23 distribution totals, the department of human services
24 shall apply a withholding factor to adjust an eligible
25 individual county's preliminary distribution total.
26 An ending balance percentage for each county shall be
27 determined by expressing the county's ending balance
28 on a modified accrual basis under generally accepted
29 accounting principles for the fiscal year beginning
30 July 1, 2002, in the county's mental health, mental
31 retardation, and developmental disabilities services
32 fund created under section 331.424A, as a percentage
33 of the county's gross expenditures from that fund for
34 that fiscal year. The withholding factor for a county
35 shall be the following applicable percent:
36 a. For an ending balance percentage of less than
37 10 percent, a withholding factor of 0 percent. In
38 addition to the county's adjusted distribution total,
39 a county that is subject to this paragraph "a" shall
40 receive an inflation adjustment equal to 2.6 percent
41 of the gross expenditures reported for the county's
42 services fund for that fiscal year.
43 b. For an ending balance percentage of 10 through
44 24 percent, a withholding factor of 25 percent.
45 c. For an ending balance percentage of 25 through
46 34 percent, a withholding factor of 60 percent.

1 5. The total withholding amounts applied pursuant
2 to subsection 4 shall be equal to a withholding target
3 amount of $7,419,074 and the appropriation enacted by
4 the Eightieth General Assembly, 2003 Session, for the
5 MH/DD community services fund shall be reduced by the
6 amount necessary to attain the withholding target
7 amount $9,418,362. If the department of human
8 services determines that the amount to be withheld in
9 accordance with subsection 4 is not equal to the
10 target withholding amount, the department shall adjust
11 the withholding factors listed in subsection 4 as
12 necessary to achieve the withholding target amount.
13 However, in making such adjustments to the withholding
14 factors, the department shall strive to minimize
15 changes to the withholding factors for those ending
16 balance percentage ranges that are lower than others
