ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER Q
DATE: JULY 22, 2008
SUBJECT: CORRECTION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD'S FISCAL YEAR
2007- 08 APPROPRIATION LIMIT
SUMMARY
Due to a typographical error, Resolution #2007-18, dated June 12, 2007, reported an
incorrect amount as the City's appropriation limit for the 2007-08 fiscal year. Resolution
#2007-18 reported $37,244,352 as the 2007-08 appropriation limit and the correct
appropriations limit should have been $33,405,778. The attached resolution is for the
purpose of reporting the correct appropriations limit.
Article XIIIB of the Constitution of the State of California was enacted by a vote of the
people as Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative) in November 1979. This law limits the level
of most appropriations from tax sources that the state and most local government entities
are permitted to make in any given year. It also requires that annually each governmental
unit calculate its Appropriations Limit and adopt it by Resolution prior to the beginning of
the fiscal year under consideration.
The City of Rosemead's Appropriations Limit, and Appropriations Subject to the Limit
were both calculated in accordance with guidelines issued by the League of California
Cities. Utilization of this approach facilitates the annual review requirement. The
results of these calculations are:
Appropriations Limit for FY 2008 $33,405,778
Appropriations Subject to the Limit 14,539,039
Amount under Limit $18,866,739
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2008-50 approving the
fiscal year 2007-08 Appropriation Limit according to Article XIII-B (Gann Initiative) of the
Constitution of the State of California.
