(b) "Ending fund balance," which means one-half of one per cent of general revenue fund revenues for the preceding fiscal year;

If that percentage exceeds thirty-five one hundredths of one per cent, the director shall certify the percentage to the tax commissioner not later than the thirty-first day of July.

A payment received by a county treasurer or fiscal officer under this division shall be deposited as would revenue from such tax or taxes levied by the county or transit authority as required under section 5739.211 of the Revised Code proportionately according to the ratio the rate of each such tax levied by the county or transit authority bears to the total rate of all such taxes levied thereby."
