City of Redwood City <br />Notes to Appropriations Limit Schedule <br />For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br />1. PURPOSE OF LIMITED PROCEDURES REVIEW <br /> <br />Under Article XIII-B of the California Constitution (the Gann Spending Limitation Initiative), California <br />governmental agencies are restricted as to the amount of annual appropriations from proceeds of taxes. <br />Effective for years beginning on or after July 1, 1990, under Section 1.5 of Article XIII-B, the annual <br />calculation of the appropriations limit is subject to a limited procedures review in connection with the <br />annual audit. <br /> <br /> <br />2. METHOD OF CALCULATION <br /> <br />Under Section 10.5 of Article XIII-B, for fiscal years beginning on or after July, 1990, the appropriations <br />limit is required to be calculated based on the limit for the fiscal year 1986-87, adjusted for the inflation <br />and population factors discussed in Notes 3 and 4 below. <br /> <br /> <br />3. POPULATION FACTORS <br /> <br />A California governmental agency may use as its population factor either the annual percentage change <br />of the jurisdiction’s own population or the annual percentage change in population of the County where <br />the jurisdiction is located. The factor adopted by the City for fiscal year 2018 represents the annual <br />percentage change in population for the County. <br /> <br /> <br />4. INFLATION FACTORS <br /> <br />A California governmental agency may use as its inflation factor either the annual percentage change in <br />the 4th quarter per capita personal income (which percentage is supplied by the State Department of <br />Finance) or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the change <br />of local nonresidential construction. The factor adopted by the City for the fiscal year 2018 represents <br />the annual percentage change in the 4th quarter per capita personal income. <br /> <br />5. OTHER ADJUSTMENTS <br /> <br />A California government agency may be required to adjust its appropriations limit when certain events <br />occur, such as the transfer of responsibility for municipal services to, or from, another government <br />agency or private entity. The City had no such adjustments for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. <br /> <br />6.1.C. - Page 21
