16278. The determination of the governing body in distributing funds to a special district pursuant to this chapter shall be final and conclusive in the absence of fraud or prejudicial abuse of discretion. In any action or proceeding to review any determination of the governing body, such inquiry shall be limited to whether there was fraud or prejudicial abuse of discretion. Prejudicial abuse of discretion shall be established if the court finds that the determination of the governing body was not supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record.
