percentage; plus (2) 19.141678 times the population decline percentage; plus (3)
2504.06334 times the road accidents factor; plus (4) 355.0547; minus (5) the metropolitan
area factor; minus (6) 49.10638 times the household size.

(c) For a city with a population of 2,500 or more and a population in one of the most
recently available five years that was less than 2,500, "city revenue need" is the sum of (1)
its city revenue need calculated under paragraph (a) multiplied by its transition factor;
plus (2) its city revenue need calculated under the formula in paragraph (b) multiplied
by the difference between one and its transition factor. For purposes of this paragraph, a
city's "transition factor" is equal to 0.2 multiplied by the number of years that the city's
population estimate has been 2,500 or more. This provision only applies for aids payable
in calendar years 2006 to 2008 to cities with a 2002 population of less than 2,500. It
applies to any city for aids payable in 2009 and thereafter.

(d) The city revenue need cannot be less than zero.

(e) For calendar year 2005 and subsequent years, the city revenue need for a city,
as determined in paragraphs (a) to (d), is multiplied by the ratio of the annual implicit
price deflator for government consumption expenditures and gross investment for state
and local governments as prepared by the United States Department of Commerce, for
the most recently available year to the 2003 implicit price deflator for state and local
government purchases.

(b) For aids payable in 2005 and thereafter, the total aid for any city shall not exceed

property becoming tax-exempt Indian land, the city's maximum allowed aid increase
under paragraph (b) shall be increased by an amount equal to (1) the city's tax rate in the
year of the aid calculation, multiplied by (2) the amount of its net tax capacity decrease
resulting from the property becoming tax exempt.
