Gouchet, Auditor-Controller By: Kenneth J. Corcoran, Principal Accountant SUBJECT: 1990-91 Appropriations Limit This responds to your recent inquiry about the County' s '90-91 Appropriations Limit under Prop. 111 . As Don mentioned to you, I have been involved with a state-wide committee that is dealing with some of the imple- mentation issues. This committee is identifying where implementing/clarifying legislation is required and will be re-writing a procedural manual for counties. As you know, Prop. 111 allows several options for computing annual change factors for population and CPI retroactive to the 1986-87 FY. These options and the current availability of the necessary information are: CPI FACTORS -- COUNTY MAY CHOOSE EITHER: 1 . Change in California Per Capita Personal Income -- we currently have this information. 2. The percentage change in the local assessment roll which is attributable to non-residential new construction. This is a major problem area. First, in computing the percentage change, there is considerable debate over what the numerator and denominator should be. Second, there is debate over what the "local assessment roll " is -- i .e. does it include utilities , etc? Third, is partially completed new construction includable? And finally, does the Assessor have the required data back to 19£36-£37? Our Assessor has indicated, as have most other County Assessors, that the data is not readily available. Lack of this data would affect: not only the County, but also all our cities who also have the option of using this change factor. I understand that CSAC (Dan Wall ) is working with the County Assessor' s Association to come up with a workable solution. POPULATION FACTORS -- COUNTY MAY CHOOSE EITHER: 1 . Change in population in the whole County -- we have this information. 2. Change in population within the incorporated areas -- we have this informa- tion. 3. Change in our County population plus the changes in all contiguous counties i .e. Solano, Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, Alameda , San Joaquin, Sacramento) we do not have this information currently although we expect: the State Department of Finance will he forwarding it: to us shortly. 2- Kerry Harms-Taylor, Assistant County Administrator July 12, 1990 1990-91 Appropriations Limit Because of the uncertainties surrounding some of the change factors noted above, we have not been able to determine the most advantageous factors for our County and to calculate the Appropriations Limit with those factors. However, we can make some projections using CPI Factor #1 and either Population Factor #1 or #2 (whichever is most advantageous in a particular year) . . 1986-87 Base Year limit as adopted by 175,792,151 Board of Supervisors Change Factors for 1987-88(1 ) 1 .0573 1988-89( 1 ) 1 .0746 1989-90(2) 1 .0807 1990-91 (2) 1 .0750 Gross Appropriations Limit, 1990-91 232,037,493 Less: Trial Court Funding (Transfer of Limit to State) 10,000,000) Adjusted Appropriation Limit, 1990-91 222,037,493 1 ) Used CPI Factor #1 and Population Factor #2 2) Used CPI Factor #1 and Population Factor #1 Under Prop. 4 guidelines we had calculated the '90-91 Appropriations Limit to be $217,618.649. Also, Prop. III made some changes in the, oi.her side of the equation, i .e. appropriations subject to the limit. For example, appropriations for capital outlay/fixed assets with a value of $100,000+ and a 10+ year life are not subject to the Prop. 111 Limit. We have not identified the appropriations related to these excludable items ; however, it is safe to say that at least 10-15M in appropriations are excludable. In summary, under the Prop. 4 guidelines we calculated the spread between our 1990-91 Limit and appropriations subject to the Limit to be about 11 .5M. Under Prop. 111 this spread will increase by at least $4.5M due to the change factors and another $10-15M due to the capital exclusions. Call me at 2246 if you have any questions. KJC:mp Office of COUNTY AUDITOR-CONTROLLER EXHIBIT B Contra Costa County Martinez, California July 12, 1990 TO: Administrator FROM: Donald L. Douchet., Aud icor-Controller By: Sam Kimoto, Deputy Country Audi SUBJECT: Appropriations Limit for 1990-91 The attached schedule is our initial calculation of the 1990-91 appropriations limit for those special districts that are required to estab- lish such limits. Proposition 111 was approved by the voters at the election of June 5, 1990 and has been in effect since July 1 , 1990. This proposition made changes in how the appropriations limit operates and how the limits are to be calculated. Some of these changes require legislative definition which have not been acted on. Also, certain assessed valuations information are not available as yet. With these conditions we have made the initial calcu- lations. Please note that as legislative definitions are received and assessed valuations information are available, we will change and update these amounts as needed. Most likely any changes would result in increased limits but we cannot guarantee that.
