DESCRIPTION: Each year the City Council is required by State Law to adopt an Appropriations Limit (Limit) in conjunction with the annual Budget process. The 1999-2000 Limit was calculated and adopted by Resolution 117-99 on June 24, 1999. At the time the Limit was adoPted, final information related to the population for the City of Dublin and the amount of Non-Residential Assessed Valuation, both which are used in the calculation of the Limit, was not available. Now that the information is available, it is recommended that the Council adopt a Revised Limit for Fiscal Year 1999-2000. Description of Appropriations Limit . The laws, regulating the application of the Limit, forbid an agency from appropriating specific funds that would exceed the Limit. The restriction applies to appropriating monies categorized as "Proceeds of Taxes." The Limit carries forward each year and is subject to an adjustment in accordance with a specified formula. Each government entity is required to calculate a 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 City has complied with this requirement as well as the posting of the proposed calculation prior to adoption. The adjustment is made annually and is based on a formula which may include the following factors (the City has the discretion to pick one factor from each category below): · Change in City population; or · Change in population for the entire County; and · Change in State per capita income; or · Change in non-residential assessed valuation.
