Proposition No. 4 Manager Meadows asked Legal Counsel Swirs
to explain legislation adopted January 1 1981, and retroactive to 1979 when the Gann initiative was passed. Mr. Swirsk: advised that this legislation basically says that local agencies cannot spend any more money than they spent in 1979, subject to cost-of-living index and
increase in population figures which are sent out each year by the Department
of Finance to all governmental agencies. These statutes now provide that the appropriations limits must be established by the Board of Directors prior to July 1 of each year. They also provide that the worksheets wherein the local governmental agency (CRMWD) establishes the cost-of-1 iving increase and the
additional population, must be available for public inspection at least 15 day, before adoption of the resolution for appropriation limitations. These steps must be taken before budget can be approved. If the budget exceeds the limit-
ations, that amount must be paid back by reducing the tax rate the next time. Discussion followed to determine the date for a Board meeting to adopt the
resolution for appropriation limitations. This was set for Friday, June 26, 1981, at 9:00 A.M. so the figures must be available for public inspection on
June 11, 1981.
