F-10
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: TALIKA M. JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
DATE: JUNE 21, 2021
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-22
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to State Law, each local government must adopt an Annual Appropriation Limit. The proposed
action will approve Resolution No. 2021-C31 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 No. 2021-C31, approving and adopting the Annual Appropriations Limit for
the Fiscal Year 2021-22 in the Amount of $378,549,999.
ANALYSIS:
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.
