ADOPTION OF FINAL APPROPRIATION
CALCULATION RESOLUTION FOR 2001-02
LIMIT
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution determining the Proposition
4 (Gann) Appropriations Limit calculation for fiscal year 2001-02. The City’s fiscal year
2001-02 appropriations are $10.14 million under the limit.
DISCUSSION
Article XlIIB of the State Constitution (Proposition 4) limits the annual appropriations
for the State and local governments. The Appropriations Limit (Limit) is adjusted
annually on the basis of population and per capita income "change factors". These
factors are received from the State in May after the City’s proposed budget has been
submitted to Council. Attached is the final Appropriations Limit calculation, based .on
the "change factors" which have been received from the State. When compared to the
recommended 2001-02 Budget, the City’s fiscal year 2001-02 appropriations are $10.14
million under the Limit.
As required by State law, documentation used to compute the Limit has been made
available to the public at least fifteen days prior to the Council meeting at which the
Limit is being adopted, and notice was published of the availability of these materials. .
RESOURCE IMPACT
The adoption Of the 2001-02 Appropriations Limit has no effect on City resources
because the proposed 2001-02 budget is below the Limit.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This recommendation is consistent with existing City policies.
