Of this amount, $2.6 million (18%) is proposed to be funded by the General fund, and the $12 million (82%) balance is proposed to be funded from restricted funds.

In accordance with the Agreement with Livermore Dublin Disposal, the adopted rates were scheduled to be reviewed for a rate adjust- ment on July 1, 1998. The amount of the allowed adjustment is to be calculated in accordance with a specific formula. The actual percentage of increase depends on the type of service received. In all rate categories, the proposed City of Dublin rates are less than the average of the agencies surveyed.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Conduct public hearing; deliberate; determine number of any additional written protests received for the record; adopt Resolution; direct Staff to prepare necessary reports to Alameda County Tax Collector. 7.UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None 8.NEW BUSINESS 8.1Adoption of a Revised Appropriations Limit for 1997-98 The 1997-98 Appropriations Limit was calculated and adopted by Resolution No. 86-97 on June 25, 1997. At the time the Limit was adopted, information was not available related to one of the optional factors which can be used in the formula which determines the total Limit. Now that the information is available, it is appropriate for the City Council to consider adopting a Revised 1997-98 Appropriations Limit. The factors used in the revised calculation are Change in City Population and Change in Non-Residential Assessed Valuation. The Revised 1997-98 Limit is $43,075,087 and based on all expenditures subject to the Limit, the City spending remains well below the maximum allowed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve selected factors used to calculate the Revised 1997-98 Limit and adopt Resolution. 8.2Adoption of an Appropriations Limit for 1998-99 Each year State Law requires the City to adopt an Appropriations Limit in conjunction with the annual Budget process. In a separate action, the City Council has considered the adoption of a Revised Fiscal Year 1997-98 Appropriations Limit. The 1998-99 Appropriations Limit is calculated by multiplying the adopted Appropriations Limit calculated for the prior year, by a factor reflecting growth increases. The 1998-99 proposed Limit is $48,700,693 and only $15,275,805 in 1998-99 Appropriations are subject to this Limit. The factors selected for calculating the 1998-99 increase were Change in the City Population and Change in Non- Residential Assessed Valuation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the selected factors used to calculate the 1998-99 Limit and adopt Resolution. 9.OTHER BUSINESS - Brief INFORMATIONAL ONLY reports from Councilmembers and/or Staff 10CLOSED SESSION - None . 11ADJOURNMENT - Next Regular Meeting - Tuesday, July 7, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. . 2 K/cc-mtgs/6-29-98Agenda Printed 2/10/00 4:39 AM
