project under section 9-605.

D. The amount to be distributed pursuant to subsection C of this section shall be
computed by dividing the total cost of the eligible project not funded from municipal

the amount distributed shall not exceed thirty million dollars in any fiscal year.

E. If sufficient distributions have been made to provide for all of the uses of the
fund monies pursuant to section 9-603 for an eligible project, the chief financial
officer of the eligible city shall certify to the state treasurer that no additional
distributions are required for the project, and on receiving the certification the state
treasurer shall make no further distributions to the city for that project.

F. After the distributions required by subsection C of this section, any monies
remaining in the fund on receipt of the certification of satisfaction of annual
obligations pursuant to section 9-623, or on the first Monday in August if a certificate
of completion of construction has not been previously filed pursuant to section 9-622,
shall be transferred to the state general fund.
