STEP ONE: For each of the six (6) calendar years immediately
preceding the year in which a budget is adopted under
IC 6-1.1-17-5 for the ensuing calendar year, divide the Indiana
nonfarm personal income for the calendar year by the Indiana

under IC 6-3.5-1.1-26 or IC 6-3.5-6-32 in Lake County for that
