    Subdivision 1. Areawide net tax capacity. Each county auditor shall certify the
determinations under sections 473F.05 and 473F.06 to the administrative auditor on or before
August 1 of each year.
The administrative auditor shall determine an amount equal to 40 percent of the sum of the
amounts certified under section 473F.06. The resulting amount shall be known as the "areawide
net tax capacity for ........(year)."
    Subd. 2. Certification by commissioner. The commissioner of revenue shall certify to the
administrative auditor, on or before August 10 of each year, the population of each municipality
for the preceding year, the proportion of that population which resides within the area, the average
fiscal capacity of all municipalities in the area for the preceding year, and the fiscal capacity of
each municipality in the area for the preceding year.
    Subd. 3. Areawide tax base distribution index. The administrative auditor shall determine,
for each municipality, the product of (a) its population, and (b) the proportion which the average
fiscal capacity of municipalities for the preceding year bears to the fiscal capacity of that
municipality for the preceding year. The product shall be the areawide tax base distribution index
for that municipality. If a municipality is located partly within and partly without the area its index
shall be that which is otherwise determined hereunder, multiplied by the proportion which its
population residing within the area bears to its total population as of the preceding year.
    Subd. 4. Distribution net tax capacity. The administrative auditor shall determine
the proportion which the index of each municipality bears to the sum of the indices of all
municipalities and shall then multiply this proportion in the case of each municipality, by the
areawide net tax capacity.
    Subd. 5. Certification to county auditor. The result of the procedure prescribed by
subdivision 4 shall be known as the "areawide net tax capacity for ........(year) attributable to
..................(municipality)." The administrative auditor shall certify such product to the auditor of
the county in which the municipality is located on or before August 15.
