FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Approve the factors selected to calculate the Limits and adopt the Resolutions.. The 1994/95 Limit is $20,855,341.. only $11,605,925 in appropriations are Subject to this limit.. DESCRIPTION: Each year the City Council must adopt an Appropriations Limit in conjunction with the annual Budget process. The laws regulating the application of the Appropriations Limit forbid the appropriation of specific funds, which would exceed the Limit. The Appropriations Limit carries forward each year and is subject to an adjustment in accordance with a specified formula.. This report will describe recommended adjustments to the Appropriations Limits adopted in previous years as well as the adoption of an Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 1994/95. DescriDtion of A9propriations Limit Each government entity is required to calculate an Appropriations Limit and include it as part of the Annual Budget. This Limit may also be referred to as the Gann Limit or Proposition 4 Limit. The adjustment made annually is based on a formula which may include the following factors: change in Ci ty population, change in population for the entire County, change in State per capita income, and change in non-residential assessed valuation. As will be noted in the actual calculations selection of some of the factors are discretionary. The Appropriations Limit does not apply to all funds appropriated by the city Council. The law only applies to those appropriations that are funded by "Proceeds of Taxes". Proceeds of Taxes are narrowly defined by State Law. Historically, the applicable ap~ropriations made by the Ci ty of Dublin have always been well below the l~mit.. 1991-92 Revised Base Appro~riations Limit In June of 1990 the voters approved Proposition 111, which revised the methodology for calculating the Limi t. The data necessary to revise existing Limits was not distributed by the state until after the beginning of the 1990/91 Fiscal Year. When the city council adopted the 1992/93 Appropriations Limit, the documents indicated the following statement: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM NO. 8.1 COPIES TO: CITY CLERK FILE ~ . . . "The city's appropriations limit base for 92-93 calculations, is the 91-92 appropriation limit of $17,515,325 ad;usted by the chanqes allowed bv Proposition 111 approved in June of 1990 to S17.644.667.n(Underlining added) In order to have a clear record Staff has prepared a Resolution, which will specifically identify the revised 1991-92 Limit. (Exhibit 1) This will provide a starting point for adoption of an Appropriations LiJDit applicable to subsequent years. Fiscal Year 1992/93 and Fiscal Year 1993/94 Revised Appropriations Limits The Limits previously adopted by the City Council for Fiscal Years 1992/93 and 1993/94 both utilized the change in non-residential assessed valuation. This factor must be provided by the Alameda County Assessor and may be used in lieu of the change in state per capita income. In 1992/93 the per capita income figure was negative. It was to the city's benefit to utilize a factor which would provide growth in the Appropriations Limit. At the time that the Limit was calculated for both years the City relied upon information which appears to have been preliminary. staff has now obtained final figures from the Assessor for the affected years. Exhibi t 2 is a Resolution, which will revise the Appropriations Limi t previously adopted for each year. Exhibi ts A and B attached' to the Resolution, document how the calculation was made. The 1992/93 Limit begins with the 1991/92 Limit discussed above and is adjusted by the 1992/93 Growth Factor. The following compares the previously adopted Appropriations Limits to the revised calculations: 1992/93 1993/94 Net Difference As originally Adopted $18,978,048 $20,975,686 Pro~sed Revised Li.~t $19,054,829 $20,468,888 Difference $ 76,781 <$506,198> <$430,017> The factors selected for both years are (1) the change in the City Population and (2) the change in non-residential assessed valuation. Ado~tion of the proposed Resolution will bring the adopted Appropriations Lim~t into conformance with supporting data provided by the Assessor. 1994/95 ~DDropriations Limit Exhibit 3 including the attachment describes the calculation of the 1994-95 Appropriations Limit. The County Assessor had not fully completed the appraisal of additions to the non-residential valuation at the tiae that this report was prepared. Therefore, the 1994/95 Appropriations Limit was calculated using; (1) the Change in the City population and (2) the Change in the state per capita Income.. In the event that the final Assessor figures would benefit the city, a revision :may be proposed at a later date. The Total 1994/95 Appropriations Limit is $20,855,341. Staff has calculated that total a~propriations of $11,605,925 are subject to this limit. Therefore, the C1ty can have significant growth in the proceeds of taxes before being impacted by the Appropriations Limit. Staff recommends that the city council adopt the three Resolutions. . .
