As in the past, SB 1352 (Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7910) requires each local government to establish its appropriations limit by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled or noticed special meeting. The attached resolution submitted for Council approval fulfills this requirement. It should be noted that even without calculating authorized exclusions, the amount by which our Proceeds of Taxes are under the Gann Limit during the past seven years has been sufficient to provide a reasonable margin of comfort. 1990 -91 Gann Limit Margin: $2,814,736 1991 -92 Gann Limit Margin: $6,955,931 1992 -93 Gann Limit Margin: $6,527,790 1993 -94 Gann Limit Margin: $15,536,246 1994 -95 Gann Limit Margin: $16,193,661 1995 -96 Gann Limit Margin: $19,624,749 1996 -97 Gann Limit Margin: $19,711,288 1997 -98 Gann Limit Margin: $20,285,768 1998 -99 Gann Limit Margin: $20,344,472 1999 -00 Gann Limit Margin: $21,751,495 14 June 1999 Page 2 There are several factors which have a bearing on the Gann Limit, and on our expenditures subject to the Limit. However, actions by the State reducing our tax revenues, along with weak economic conditions during the early and mid 1990's established the trend which can be seen above. The detailed population and inflation adjustment calculations are still required, but they have been reduced to a level of relative insignificance by these larger factors. We are still required to perform the calculations and take appropriate Council action, but, unless the law is changed, it is apparent that staying under the Gann Limit is not something we are going to have to worry about any time soon.
