Quach, Administrative Services Director Shannon Huang, Financial Services Manager/Treasurer 5+1.-- SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 6775 ESTABLISHING AN APPROPRIATION LIMIT FOR FISCAL 2011 -2012 Recommendation: Adopt SUMMARY Article XIII -B of the State Constitution imposes a limit ( "the Gann Limit ") on tax proceeds that can be appropriated for expenditures in any given fiscal year. Section 7910 requires the City to establish the limit by resolution. It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution establishing the annual adjustment factors and the resultant Limit for fiscal year 2011 -2012. BACKGROUND In November 1979, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 4, commonly known as the Gann initiative. This proposition created Article XIII -B of the State Constitution placing limits on the amount of revenue, which can be spent by City Government. Proposition 4 became effective for the 1980 -81 fiscal year, but the formula for calculating the Limit was based on the 1978 -79 "base year" revenues. In June 1990, the voters of California approved Proposition 111, which, among other things, provides new adjustment formulas that make the Appropriation Limit more responsive to local growth issues. Proposition 111 also implemented a requirement for an annual review of the Limit calculation. DISCUSSION The Appropriation Limitation imposed by Propositions 4 and 111 creates a restriction on the amount of revenue, which can be appropriated in any fiscal year. The Limit is based on actual City appropriations during the 1978 -79 fiscal year, and is increased each year using the growth of population and inflation. Proceeds of taxes are allowed to be spent on several types of appropriations, which do not count against the Limit. The law allows a City to spend tax proceeds on voter - approved debt and the costs of complying with Court orders and Federal mandates, with certain restrictions. Proposition 111 expanded these exempt categories to include expenditures for "qualified capital outlay" beginning in 1990 -91. Appropriations for these excludable categories also do not count against the Limit. In order to ensure that taxes are counted in the Appropriations Limit of only one agency of government, Article XIII -B and Government Code Section 7903 require that if the State provides funds to a local government with no strings attached, they will be counted as "State Subventions" and will be included in the Appropriation Limit of the City (i.e., Motor Vehicle In -Lieu Revenue). On the other hand, if the State specifies that funds are restricted in their use then they are to be counted in the State's Limit (i.e., State Gas Tax). Beginning with the 1990 -91 Fiscal Year, and as a result of the passage of Proposition 111, the annual adjustment factor in computing the limit has changed. Instead of using the change in the California Per Capita Income or U.S. Consumer Price Index to measure inflation, each City may now choose, the greater, of the growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in the non - residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City. At the present time, the data necessary to calculate the increase in the non - residential assessed valuation is not available from the Los Angeles County Assessor. In the absence of final information on this important factor, it is recommended that the City adopt the 2011 -2012 Appropriation Limit on a provisional basis using the alternative factor of per capita income for the inflationary adjustment. The second factor and an important change authorized by the passage of Proposition 111 is, instead of using only the population growth of the City, the City may choose to use the population within the County of Los Angeles. Factors used for the 2011 -2012 fiscal year GANN Limit are the population growth of the City of Arcadia at 0.25% and the California per capita personal income factor of 2.51%. The attached exhibits A, B, C and D, demonstrate the City's compliance with Article XIII- B of the State Constitution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. As calculated, the City's Proceeds of Taxes before exclusions is established at $33,962,460 (Exhibit C). The 2011 -2012 Appropriation Limit is $65,977,512 (Exhibit A). Exhibit B shows that the City of Arcadia is under the appropriation limit by $32,391,972.
