MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Johnny Ea, Finance Director DATE: June 7, 2007 (Council Meeting of June 20, 2007) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Establishing the Appropriation Limitation for Fiscal Year 2007/2008 for the City of Moorpark at $20,788,056 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 2006/2007 the limitation was $19,700,584. The information provided by the State Department of Finance, as required by the Government Code, indicated a 4.42% change in cost index and a 1.05% change in population. Accordingly, the City of Moorpark's limitation for Fiscal Year 2007/2008 is $20,788,056. General Fund appropriations which are subject to this limitation (some appropriations are exempt) for FY 2007/2008 are estimated to be $10,422,285 which is well below this amount.

Patrick Hunter, Mayor ATTEST: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, City Clerk CITY OF MOORPARK Appropriation Limit Calculation Article X11113 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 1978/79, 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 2007/08, the estimated tax proceeds appropriated by the Moorpark City Council are under the limit. The adjusted Appropriation Limit for FY 2007/08 is $20,788,056. This is the maximum amount of tax proceeds the City is able to appropriate and spend in FY 2007/08. The appropriations subject to the limit are $10,422,285, leaving the City with an appropriations capacity under the limit of$10,365,771. Section 7910 of the State Government Code requires a governing body to annually adopt, by resolution, an Appropriations Limit for the upcoming fiscal year.
