MEETING DATE: 7/02/2012 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: FN 12-013
Analysis: In November 1979, the California voters approved Article 13B of the State of
California Constitution, which allows the City's spending of tax proceeds to increase only by
factors from the base year of 1978-1979. In June 1990, Proposition 111 was passed which
changed the way the limit is calculated and is outlined as follows.
The City may increase its limit annually in two ways:
• By a percentage equal to the increase from the preceding year in county or city
population (whichever is greater).
• By an amount equal to the change in per capita personal income in California or the
change in the assessment roll the preceding year due to the addition of local
nonresidential new construction (whichever is greater).
The proposed appropriation limit for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 was calculated as follows:
Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Appropriation Limit
Multiplied by percentage growth in State Per Capita
Personal Income
Multiplied by change in city population
Proposed Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Appropriation Limit
$ 659,845,851
1.0377
1.0114
$ 692,527,871
Appropriations of revenues controlled by the Gann Limit are primarily in the General Fund.
General Fund appropriations for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 are expected to be significantly
below the amount set as the City's appropriation limit.
Examples of proceeds of taxes governed by the Gann Appropriation limit are: property
taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, state subventions, fines, forfeitures, interest revenue on
regulatory licenses, user charges, and user fees to the extent that those proceeds exceed
the costs reasonably borne by that entity in providing the regulation, product, or service.
Environmental Status: Not applicable
Strategic Plan Goal: Improve long-term financial sustainability
