E-11
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TROY L. BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 20, 2016
SUBJECT: GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FY 2016-17
SUMMARY:
Pursuant to State Law, each local government must adopt an Annual Appropriation Limit annually. The
proposed action will approve a resolution adopting the City’s Annual Appropriation Limit as required by
law.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1) Adopt Resolution 2016-C49: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Azusa,
California, approving and adopting the Annual Appropriations Limit for the Fiscal Year
2016-17 in the amount of $236,153,102.
DISCUSSION:
In 1980, California voters adopted Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, commonly referred
to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Appropriations Limit, placing limits on the amount of tax proceeds that
State and local agencies can appropriate each year. The City’s limit is adjusted each year for inflation,
population, and other factors.
On June 5, 1990, Proposition 111 was voted into California Law. Among other provisions, Proposition
111 provided for changes in the calculation of the Gann Appropriation Limit. The annual adjustments to
the spending limit were liberalized by Proposition 111 to be more closely linked to the rate of economic
growth. Beyond local inflation and population factors, the provisions allow a City to use the higher of
the percentage growth in personal income or the percent increase in the local tax roll due to non-
residential property construction. Additionally, cities can choose to use the rate of change in population
either within the City or County, whichever is higher. The City utilized elements of these adjustment
factors in calculating the annual Gann Appropriation limit.
Based on calculations attached to the Resolution, the City is under the cap for FY 2016-17 by
$206,826,964.
