MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council R
FROM: Dana Shigley, Administrative Services Direct
DATE: May 23, 2002 (Council Meeting of June 5, 2002)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Establishing the Appropriation
Limitation for Fiscal Year 2002 -2003 for the City of
Moorpark at $14,627,654.
BACKGROUND
Proposition 4 was approved by the voters of California in 1979
adding Article XIII B to the State Constitution. The
Proposition places a limit on the growth of general fund
appropriations by government entities.
DISCUSSION
Proposition 4 (the "Gann Limitations ") was adopted by California
voters in November 1979 and added Article XIII B to the State
Constitution. The Proposition limited the growth in
appropriations of state and local governments to the increase in
the jurisdiction's population and the increase in the State
price index. For FY 2001 -2002 the limitation was $14,219,997.
The information provided by the State Department of Finance, as
required by the Government Code, indicated a -1.27% change in
price index and a 4.19% change in population. Accordingly, the
City of Moorpark's limitation for Fiscal Year 2002 -2003 is
$14,627,654. General Fund appropriations which are subject to
this limitation (some appropriations are exempt) for FY 2002-
2003 are estimated to be $6,081,500, well below this amount.
