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
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE 6/1612008 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER FN 08-002
Analysis Continued
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 over the preceding year due to the addition of local
nonresidential new construction (whichever is greater)
For this years calculation the 1 03 percent increase in County population was greater than
the increase in the city s population of 0 34 percent The 5 56 percent increase in the
assessment roll from the addition of local nonresidential construction was greater than the
4 29 percent increase in per capita personal income
The proposed appropriation limit for Fiscal Year 2008/2009 was calculated as follows
Fiscal Year 2007/2008 Adopted Appropriation Limit
Multiplied by change in assessment roll from addition
of local nonresidential construction
Multiplied by change in county population
Proposed Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Appropriation Limit
$565 300 579
1 0556
1 0103
$602,877,623
Appropriations of revenues controlled by the Gann Limit are primarily in the General Fund
General Fund appropriations for Fiscal Year 2008/2009 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
Strategic Plan Goal
Financial - Fully understand the financial implications of financial decisions before they are
made and recognize and disclose fiscal impacts of the pension crisis
