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 2005 -2006 the limitation was $18,904,696. The information provided by the State Department of Finance, as required by the Government Code, indicated a 3.96% change in cost index and a 0.24% change in population. Accordingly, the City of Moorpark's limitation for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 is $19,700,584. General Fund appropriations which are subject to this limitation (some appropriations are exempt) for FY 2006 -2007 are estimated to be $9,225,745 which is well below this amount. 0 Nnra �v�'v €�, Honorable City Council June 21, 2006 Page 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2006- Attached: Resolution No. 2006 - Appropriation Limit Calculation (� F1 A R ''► r'� �` lJ� ��✓ �; v F hJ� RESOLUTION NO. 2006- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING THE CITY'S APPROPRIATION LIMITATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006 -2007 WHEREAS, Article XIII B of the State Constitution limits annual appropriations for certain General Fund revenues for state and local governments; and WHEREAS, Government Code Section 7910 requires that a city establish its annual appropriations limitation by resolution at a public meeting of the legislative body; and WHEREAS, the Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 appropriations limitation has been calculated in accordance with the State Constitution and applicable sections of the Government Code by adjusting its Fiscal Year 2005 -2006 appropriations limit of $18,904,696 by a cost index change of 3.96% and a population change of 0.24% as determined by the California Department of Finance.

Traffenstedt, City Clerk ✓' L V fi fi CITY OF MOORPARK 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 -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 2006 -07, the estimated tax proceeds appropriated by the Moorpark City Council are under the Limit. The adjusted Appropriation Limit for FY 2006 -07 is $19,700,584. This is the maximum amount of tax proceeds the City is able to appropriate and spend in FY 2006 -07. The appropriations subject to the limit are $9,225,745, leaving the City with an appropriations capacity under the Limit of $10,474,839. Section 7910 of the State Government Code requires a governing body to annually adopt, by resolution, an Appropriations Limit for the upcoming fiscal year.
