(3) For the 1988–89 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the appropriations limit of that community college district, plus amounts paid for any nonreimbursed court or federal mandates imposed on or after November 6, 1979, less the sum of the following: (A) Interest earned on the proceeds of taxes during the current fiscal year. (B) The 50 percent of miscellaneous funds received during the current fiscal year that are from the proceeds of taxes. (C) Locally voted taxes received during the current fiscal year, such as parcel taxes or square foot taxes, unless for voter-approved bonded debt.
