DATE: May 21, 2009 (Council Meeting of June 17, 2009)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Establishing the Appropriation Limitation for
Fiscal Year 2009/2010 for the City of Moorpark at $26,198,908
BACKGROUND
Proposition 4, sometimes referred to as the "Gann Limit ", was approved by the voters of
California on the November 1979 special ballot election. This Proposition created
Article XIII B of the State Constitution which sets forth the calculation of the State and
local jurisdictions' annual appropriations limit or the "ceiling" on monies that can be
spent from tax revenues. Each year, it requires the governing body of the local agency
to establish the limit, by resolution, before the beginning of the following fiscal year.
Initially, the appropriations limit was annually adjusted by the population growth of each
local agency and the lesser of the change in cost -of- living or the change in California
per capital personal income from the preceding year. Proposition 111 adopted on June
1990, allowed major adjustments to the methodology. Local agencies may select the
higher of percentage change in population within the City, or County; and the higher of
rate of change in California per capita personal income from preceding year, or the rate
of change in the local assessment valuation due to additional non - residential new
construction from the preceding year.
DISCUSSION
On April 29, 2009, the California State Department of Finance notified the local
jurisdictions of the population and price data for use in the appropriations limit
calculation for FY 2009/2010. Based on this letter, the percentage change in population
for the City of Moorpark is 1.27 %, while the Ventura County percentage change is
1.03 %. The preceding year's percentage change in cost -of- living factor per capita
personal income is 0.62 %. Information regarding the change in local assessment
valuation in non - residential new construction of 16.59% was provided by the City's
property tax consultants, HDL Coren & Cone.

The City selected to use the percentage change in population for the City (1.27 %) and
the percentage change in local assessment valuation in non - residential new
construction (16.59 %) in adjusting the prior year's appropriations limit of $22,189,171.
Accordingly, the City of Moorpark's limitation for FY 2009/2010 is $26,198,908. Per the
Recommended Budget for FY 2009/2010, the appropriations subject to limit is
$13,748,165. This brings us $12,450,743 or 47.5% under the limit.

Appropriation Limit Calculation
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, commonly referred to as the
Gann Initiative or Gann Appropriations Limit, was adopted by California voters in
1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that State and local
agencies can appropriate and spend each fiscal year.
The limit is different for every agency and changes each year. The annual limit is
based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in FY
1978/1979, modified for changes in inflation and population. Inflationary
adjustments are based on increases in the California per capita income or the
increase in non - residential assessed valuation due to new construction. An
adjustment is also made based on changes in Moorpark's population or County
population.
For FY 2009/2010, the estimated tax proceeds appropriated by the Moorpark
City Council are under the limit. The adjusted Appropriation Limit for FY
2009/2010 is $26,198,908. This is the maximum amount of tax proceeds the City
is able to appropriate and spend in FY 2009/2010. The appropriations subject to
the limit is $13,748,165, leaving the City with an appropriations capacity under
the limit of $12,450,743.
Section 7910 of the State Government Code requires the governing body to
annually adopt, by resolution, an Appropriations Limit for the upcoming fiscal
year.
