(c) A committee, appointed by the Governor, shall prepare
and adopt an apportionment formula relating to the percent of the
total funds each subdivision will receive. The committee consists
of two members of the Senate, three members of the House of
Delegates, and four members of the public at large. The
Secretary of the Department of State Planning and the Secretary
shall serve as advisers to the committee. The committee shall
meet at least annually to review and update the apportionment
formula. In determining the allocation formula, the committee
shall take into account for each subdivision[:] (1) [Current]
CURRENT population, (2) projected population, and (3) other
factors it deems desirable. In determining the apportionment for
any year the committee may consider under-utilization of
available funds and transfer or advance unused allocations that
have not been utilized within a given period. The committee may
reallocate funds, subject however to the policy that over the ten
year period any subdivision shall be allocated in the aggregate
the funds it would have been entitled to receive if able to
utilize them. Before adopting an apportionment formula and
before allocating funds for any year, the committee shall notify
the governing bodies of every affected subdivision of its
intended action and, after reasonable notice, afford an
opportunity for hearings on the apportionment or allocation.
