Ron Nault, Finance Directo~N\ DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATION LIMIT PER ARTICLE XIII B OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION (GANN INITIATIVE) Background Article XIII B was added to the Sta~e Constitution at the general election of 11/6/79. It is more widely known as Proposition 4, "The Gann Spending Limitation." The attempt of this proposition is to tie the annual increase in expenditure of "the proceeds of taxes" to the annual increase in CPI or per capita personal income, whichever is less, and the increase in population within a governmental agency. "Proceeds of taxes" are defined as all tax revenues and proceeds from regulatory licenses, user fees to the extent that such fees exceed the reasonable costs to provide the service, and state subventions for other than a specific required use. Overview Although Proposition 4 lacks a specific procedure for annually adopting the appropriation limit, SB 1352, which will become effective 1/1/81, requires local government to establish its appropriation limit by resolution at a regularly scheduled meeting. First year implementation is not addressed in SB 1352, but the public interest can best be served and the intent of legislative action can be fulfilled by making the Council aware of the spending limi- tation for fiscal 1981 as determined by the attached exhibits and presenting to Council a resolution adopting this limi- tation at the first regularly scheduled meeting in calendar year 1981. The adoption of this resolution does not preclude the City from amending our spending limit during the fiscal year to reflect new data. The limit as presented to you is based on information available at the time the fiscal 1981 budget was prepared. Prior to adopting the fiscal 1982 budget, and for every budget year thereafter, a new spending limitation resolution must be adopted. December 10, 1980 Gann Initiative Page two ReCommendation It is recommended that Council review the attached determination and discuss any concerns with staff prior to adopting the spending limitation resolution at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
