Each local <br />jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2019, in <br />conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit <br />for fiscal year 2019-20. Attachment A provides the change in California's per capita personal <br />income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to <br />calculate the 2019-20 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated <br />county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change <br />for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data <br />excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations. <br />Population Percent Change for Special Districts <br />Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and <br />Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. <br />Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the <br />appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be <br />accessed at the following website: http://Ieginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes.xhtml. <br />Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation <br />as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be <br />directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local <br />appropriations limits. <br />Population Certification <br />The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and <br />Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population <br />estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller's Office. Finance <br />will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2019. <br />Please Note: The prior year's city population estimates may be revised. <br />If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at <br />(916) 323-4086. <br />KEELY BOSLER <br />Director <br />By: <br />Vivek Viswanathan <br />Chief Deputy Director <br />Attachment <br />341 <br />
