CITY OF PALM SPRINGS 2000-01 APPROPRIATION LIMIT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council of the City of Palm Springs adopt a resolution establishing an
appropriations limit for the 2000-01 fiscal year in accordance with Article X111B of the
California Constitution.
BACKGROUND:
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires government units to establish an annual
appropriations limit. This is done by establishing 1978-79 as a base year and allowing the
base to increase in future years by the percentage of growth In population of the City or
County, whichever is greater, and by the increase California Per Capita Personal Income.
Guidelines and statistical data for calculation of the appropriation limit are provided by the
League of California Cities and the Department of Finance of the State of California.
The City's Finance Department has calculated the City's fiscal 1978-79 base year
appropriation limit to be $13,429,805. Using information supplied by the State Department
of Finance, the fiscal 2000-01 appropriation limit is calculated to be$78,527,423.
It is Important to point out that only specific revenues and appropriations are subject to
limitation. All of the City's enterprise and Intragovemmental service funds are exempt. In
addition, Federal funds are exempt.
The appropriation amount subject to the limit was calculated to be $37,091,300, which is
$41,436,123 less than the 2000-01 appropriation limit.
The actual calculation is very detailed and is not provided with this report, but is available for
review at the office of the Director of Finance. As mentioned earlier, the approach used
follows the basic guidelines provided by the League of California Cities.
