FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The proposed Revised Limit for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 is
$105,367,283 and only $28,81.0,128 in appropriations for Fiscal
Year 2003-2004 are subject to this Limit.
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 2003-2004 Limit was calculated and adopted by
Resolution 112-03 on June 24, 2003. At the time the Limit was adopted, final information relating to the
population for the City of Dublin and the amount of Non-Residential Assessed Valuation, both of 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 2003-2004.
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.

2003-2004 Proposed Revised Appropriations Limit
Staff has prepared the calcUlations necess~ t° adoPt the Revised Limit for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 in
accordance with State Law and with the Uniform Guidelines of the League of California Cities. The
discretionary factors selected in calculating the 2003-2004 Revised Limit are: (1) the change in the City
population, which represents the January 1, 2003 population provided by the State Department of Finance;
and (2) the change in the assessed valuation from local non-residential construction, which represents the
figures provided by the County Assessor from the final 2002-2003 property tax roll.
The Revised 2003-2004 Appropriations Limit, as calculated on Attachment 2 of the Proposed Resolution
(Attachment 1) is $105,367,283, based upon a revised adjustment factor of 14.5% over the 2002-2003
Limit. Upon adoption, this figure becomes the base limit, which will be increased by the adjustment factor
calculated for the subsequent fiscal year. Total appropriations for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 that are subject
to the Limit total $28,810,1.28 which is significantly below the allowed amount.-Staff has prepared a
Resolution (Attachment 1) that will adopt a Revised Appropriations Limit for 2003-2004.
