AGENDA BILL NO.I* 6 H 0
DATE: June 23, 1981
DEPARTMENT: Finance
Subject:
1980-81 Appropriation Limit
Statement of the Matter
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires that all governmental entities
operate under certain limits on appropriations of proceeds of taxes. This "spending
limit" is based on the appropriations adopted by the governing body during 1978-79
and is increased annually by a factor based on inflation and population.
For the City of Carlsbad, the 1978-79 base is about $10.2 million. That is the City
appropriated $10.2 million from proceeds of taxes during 1978-79.
The City is required by law to annually set and publish the appropriation limit for
each fiscal year. For 1980-81 this limit must be set by June 30, 1981. For 1981-82
the limit will be set as part of the budget adoption action.
The exhibits to this agenda bill show the process used in computing the 1980-81
limit of $15.7 million compared to appropriations from proceeds of taxes of about
$10.3 million. Based on these numbers, the City had a $5.4 million margin during
1980-81.
Fiscal Impact
The establishment of the appropriation limit has no fiscal impact in itself. It
should be noted, however, that should the City ever receive more in proceeds of taxes
than can legally be appropriated, the excess must be returned to the state or to the
citizens by returning sales tax or property tax.
