Cal. SHC § 19182

If a district is organized in any year too late for the levy of a tax or assessment in that year or in the next ensuing year, the board of supervisors is hereby authorized to transfer funds of the county not immediately needed for county purposes to the funds of the district to be used for the payment of the expenses of the district until such time as tax or assessment receipts are available therefor. The governing body may authorize the immediate installation of the lighting system in the district, and shall include in the levy of taxes or assessments for the district for the first fiscal year in which a tax or assessment may be levied, a sum sufficient to repay to the county the amounts so transferred to the district for the portion or portions of the preceding fiscal year or years for which no levy of taxes or assessments was made for that purpose, and the amounts shall be retransferred to the county treasury out of the first available receipts from the tax or assessment levy.
