SUBJ: ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION (GANN) LIMIT
Back round: Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (Proposition 4) specifies
that appropriations of government entities may increase annually only by a limited
amount (primarily to allow for population increases and inflation). As in the past, SB
1352 (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7910) requires each local government to
establish its appropriations limit by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled or
noticed special meeting. The attached resolution submitted for Council approval
fulfills this requirement.
It should be noted that even without calculating authorized exclusions, the amount by
which our Proceeds of Taxes are under the Gann Limit during the past ten years has
been sufficient to provide a reasonable margin of comfort.
1991 -92 Gann Limit Margin:
$6,955,931
1992 -93 Gann Limit Margin:
$6,527,790
1993 -94 Gann Limit Margin:
$15,536,246
1994 -95 Gann Limit Margin:
$16,193,661
1995 -96 Gann Limit Margin:
$19,624,749
1996 -97 Gann Limit Margin:
$19,711,288
1997 -98 Gann Limit Margin:
$20,285,768
1998 -99 Gann Limit Margin:
$20,344,472
1999 -00 Gann Limit Margin:
$21,751,495
2000 -01 Gann Limit Margin:
$23,470,251

There are several factors which have a bearing on the Gann Limit, and on our
expenditures subject to the Limit. However, actions by the State reducing our tax
revenues, along with weak economic conditions during the early and mid 1990's
established the trend which can be seen above. The detailed population and inflation
adjustment calculations are still required, but they have been reduced to a level of
relative insignificance by these larger factors. We are still required to perform the .
calculations and take appropriate Council action, but, unless the law is changed, it is
apparent that staying under the Gann Limit is not something we are going to have to
worry about any time soon.
Recommendation: Adopt the City's Appropriation (Gann) Limit for the 2000 -01 fiscal
year in the amount of $83,745,471.
