SECTION 3. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution does not constitute a
project under the Section 15378(b)(4) of California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines because
establishing the annual appropriations limit is a fiscal activity, and, therefore, no environmental
assessment is necessary.

FY 2024 Adopted Appropriations Limit
On November 6, 1979, California voters approved Proposition 4, an initiative that added Article XIIIB to the state Constitution. The
provisions of this article place limits on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by all entities of government. The
Appropriations Limit is based on actual appropriations during the 1978-1979 fiscal year, as increased each year using specified
population and inflationary growth factors.
The City of Palo Alto remains well within its appropriations limit in FY 2024. Future year limit trends can be made based on the
average change in regional population and income growth. The appropriations subject to limitation includes proceeds of
taxes from the General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, and Special Revenue Funds.
