FROM: Phil Batchelor, Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: July 12, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Appropriation Limits for Fiscal Year 1984-1985
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Article XIII-B of the California Constitution specifies that appropriations
made by governmental entities may increase annually by the changes in popu-
lation and the U. S. Consumer Price Index or California per capita personal
income, whichever is less.
The County Auditor-Controller has computed the appropriations limits for
fiscal year 1984-1985 based upon State Department of Finance figures of the
population change and the California per capita personal income change
applied to the fiscal year 1983-1984 appropriations limits. The population
change was 1. 32% and the U. S. Consumer Price Index increase was 4. 74%.
It is interesting to note that using these factors develops an appropriations
limit for the County for "Proceeds of Taxes" of $159, 600,652 which is
$41, 920, 975 more than included in the Proposed Budget for 1984-1985. It
does not appear that any problems are being faced by the county special
districts and service areas with respect to the amount of their appropria-
tions limits.
For your information, the fire districts of Bethel Island, Brentwood, Byron,
Crockett-Carquinez, Eastern, Oakley, and Tassajara had their appropriations
limit increased by the election of April 13, 1982. The increases were for
the fiscal years 1981-1982 through 1984-1985. Therefore, for the fiscal
years 1985-1986 and on, the appropriations limit will be reduced to what it
would have been without the election, unless there is another election.
This matter must be addressed at a later date with district officials .
Section 7910 of the. Government Code requires that the Board of Supervisors
establish by resolution the appropriations limits at a regularly scheduled
meeting or noticed special meeting. There is a further requirement that 15
days prior to this meeting, documentation used in determining the appropria-
tion limits shall be made available to the public. It is recommended that
August 7, 1984 at 10 : 30 A.M. be fixed as the date and time for establishment
of the appropriations limits for fiscal year 1984-1985.
