    (1) “”Annual Percentage Share”” is the percentage calculated for each non-fiscally constrained county, and is derived by dividing the number of service days for the county during the most recent 12-month period by the number of service days for all non-fiscally constrained counties during the same period.
    (2) “”County of Residence”” means the county where, at the time of referral, a youth resides, as determined by a department intake officer pursuant to Fl. Admin.

    (4) “”Fiscally constrained county”” means a county which is not required to pay the cost of its resident youths’ detention services, by virtue of its location in a rural area of opportunity designated by the Governor, or because the value of a mill would raise no more than $5,000,000.00 million in revenue based on its certified school taxable value from the previous July 1.
