CONSENT CALENDAR Type of Action: AUTHORIZE PUBLIC NOTICE Subject: AUTHORIZE A PUBLIC NOTICE TO INDICATE AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTATION IN SUPPORT OF THE DISTRICT'S APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT Submitted By: Debbie Ratcliff, Controller Initiating Dept./Div. : Administrative/Finance & Accounting REVIEWED AND RECDM~ FDR BDARD ACTION, dh D. Ratcliff . Morsen ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is required to establish its appropriations limit in accordance with Article XIII B of the California Constitution. BACKGROUND: Proposition 4 was approved on November 6, 1979, and was incorporated in the California Constitution as Article XIII B. As amended, Article XIII B imposes a limit on the rate of growth in governmental spending. It limits appropriations of state and local governments to the appropriations of the 1978 - 1979 base year adjusted in each subsequent year for changes in the California per capita personal income from the preceding YEilar or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year due to the addition of local nonresidential new construction. Article XIII B requires government agencies to establish their appropriations limit by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled meeting. Notice to the public of availability of documentation in support of the appropriations limit must be given fifteen days prior to adoption. The appropriations limit is open to challenge within 45 days of the effective date of the resolution. Methodology: The appropriations limit is increased annually by a factor comprised of the change in population combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential construction. The Board is to select between the per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local nonresidential construction by a recorded vote. The change in the local assessment roll for the 1999-2000 fiscal year has been reported by the County Assessor to be 11.7 percent. The California per capita personal income percentage change is 4.53. The change in the local assessment roll is being used in the calculation of the 1999-2000 appropriations limit.
