CC 2018-06-12_09b FY 2018.19 Appropriation Limit
MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DEBBIE MALICOAT, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF FISCAL YEAR 2018-19 APPROPRIATION LIMIT
DATE: JUNE 12, 2018
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Calculating the appropriation limit from tax proceeds is required annually by
Propositions 4 and 111. The action will ensure compliance with these requirements.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There are no significant fiscal or personnel impacts.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution establishing the appropriation
limit from tax proceeds for Fiscal Year 2018-19.
BACKGROUND:
Annually, the City is required to calculate the expenditure appropriation limit from tax
proceeds to determine compliance with Propositions 4 (Gann Initiative) and 111 (Spending
Limitation Act of 1990). This calculation is based on the previous year’s appropriation limit
($21,350,578) multiplied by the per capita personal income percentage increase (3.67%)
and multiplied again by the population percentage change (0.21%). The State Department
of Finance provides both the population change and the per capita personal income
change for the previous fiscal year.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City is responsible for dividing citywide revenues between tax and non-tax revenue
and applying the formula to the cumulative appropriation limit. For Fiscal Year 2018-19,
the appropriation limit has been calculated to be $22,180,626.
This calculation means that the City cannot receive more than $22,180,626 in tax-based
revenues in Fiscal Year 2018-19. The estimated tax-based revenues for the Fiscal Year
have been calculated to be $15,975,475, approximately $6.2 million less than the
appropriation limit. Therefore, the City is in compliance with Article XIIIB of the California
Constitution.
