The revenues which are subject to the Limitation are those considered “proceeds of taxes.” The basis for calculating the Limit began in fiscal year 1978-79 and is increased based on population growth and inflation. The major change made by Proposition 111 allows the Carlsbad Municipal Water District to annually choose among the following options for calculating its Gann Limit: 9 Population growth of Carlsbad, OR 9 Population growth within San Diego County, AND 9 Growth in California per capita income, OR 9 Growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction in the City, The factors used to calculate the 1996-97 Limit were: 9 Population growth of Carlsbad, AND 9 Growth in California per capita income. The formula is outlined below: 1995-96 Expenditure Limit $1,252,127 % Carlsbad op P ulation Growth 1.0262 Growth in California per capita income X 1.0467 Net Increase Factor 1.0741 1996-97 Limit (1995-96 Limit X Factor) $1,344.910 Current Appropriation of Proceeds of Taxes $0.00 The spending limit for the Carlsbad Municipal Water District for 1996-97 is $1,344,910 with no appropriations of “proceeds of taxes”. All revenues subject to the Gann Appropriations Limit are appropriated within the capital replacement fund and are therefore exempt.
