Molina EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Resolution RECOMMEND~TION: ) Approve use of County population increase in calculation' of 1991-92 Appropriations . Limit. ~ 2) Adopt Resolution establishing Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 1991-92 FINANCIAL STATEMENT: 1991-92 Appropriations Limit at $17,515,325. DESCRIPTION: Last June 1990, the City Council adopted Resolution no. 97-90 establishing the City's appropriation limit for this fiscal year at $16,445,712. Each fiscal year the Council is required by law to adopt an appropriation limit. In prior years the limit changed each year by the change in the Dublin's population plus the lesser of the change in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) or the change in the State per capita personal income. Beginning this fiscal year the appropriation limit formula was changed by Proposition #111. Now the City can choose between the greater of either growth in the California Per Capita Income or the growth in the non-residential asse~sed valuation for the first factor; and between the greater of either the change in the population for Dublin or the County for the second factor. The 1991-92 appropriations limit is calculated in a consistent manner as required by Article- XIIIB of the California State Constitution as amended, using the following factors: Change in popul at ion: - Dublin Estimated population (1/1/90) 25,825 Estimated population (1/1/91) 23,484 change = decrease of 2,341 change in percentages = -9.064% Alameda County Estimated population (1/1/90) 1,264,338 Estimated population (1/1/91), 1,293,036 change = increase of change in percentages = 28,698 2.27% <-- Change in State per capita income = 4.14% -<_.:' Change in non-residential valuation= County data not available The appropriations limit growth rate formula: 1.0227 X 1.0414 = 1.065039... The City's appropriations limit base for 91-92 calculations, is the 90-91 appropriation limit of $16,445,712. v ~.~ J~ 330 --;(0 - " ,'I,. ! . . When combined, the appropriations growth rate and the adjusted current year's appropriation limit produce a new appropriation limit for the next fiscal year of $17,515,325: $16,445,712 X 1.065039... This limit only restricts those appropriations which are funded by proceeds of taxes as defined by Article XIII B of the State Constitution. The amount of proceeds of taxes for 1991-92 is estimated to be $12,282,113. Recommendation Sin~e the City is required by law to adopt an appropriations limit calculated in accordance with the procedure outlined above, it is recommended that the City, Council adopt the attached resolution establishing the City's appropriation limit for fiscal year 1991-92.' .' /. .

In accordance with Chapter 1025 of the Statutes of 1987, each government entity is required to include the appropriations limit in the annual budget. This limit is commonly referred to as the Gann Limit or Proposition 4 limit. The limit is calculated in a manner consistent with Article XIII of the California Constitution. Change in population (as reported by the State Department of Finance): Change in population: Dublin Estimated population (1/1/90) Estimated population (1/1/91) 25,825 23,484 change = decrease of change in percentages = 2,341 -9.064% Alameda County Estimated population (1/1/90) Estimated population (1/1/91) 1,264,338 1,293,036 change = increase of 28,698 change in percentages = 2.27% <-- Change in State per capita income 4.14% <-- change in non-residential valuation= County data not available The appropriations limit growth rate formula 1.0227 X 1.0414 = 1.065039... Estimated Appropriations Limit~ $17,515,325 The law provides that the appropriations limit onlX restricts those appropriations that are funded by "Proceeds of Taxes". Proceeds of Taxes is narrowly defined by the State law and was recently altered by California judicial proceedings. The 1991-92 preliminary budget recommends appropriations to be funded by Proceeds of Taxes, which are subject to the limit, equal to $12,282,113. Changes in the method for calculating the appropriations limitation The method of calculating the 1991-92 appropriation limits recently changed with the passage of Proposition #111. The appropriation limit was calculated based upon the new factors that were available at the time this report was generated. When more information becomes available from the County and if that information results is increasing the appropriation limit for Dublin, a revised appropriation limit will be brought back to the Council. - xii -
