SPECIAL PROJECTS ENGINEERING DIVISION
BACKGROUND
Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) with their subcontractor, Villalobos & Associates, has
completed an evaluation of the corrosion protection system for the protection
of buried piping with an estimated value of $5,000,000 in the main treatment
plant area, which excludes the filter plant area (see figure 1.) Their
find i ng s are:
1. There is corrosion activity associated with the buried piping in the
main treatment plant area.
2. The system originally planned for installation under the Stage 5A
Phase I project is incomplete.
3. The cost to implement the corrections recommended by Brown & Caldwell
would be very high (approximately $900,000 in August 1981 dollars).
4. A cost effective corrosion protection system can be installed at a
cost of approximately $460,000 (in August 1981 dollars).
The District staff has negotiated a Contract Amendment with M&E to provide
design, bid assistance, and construction management services for a two phase
program. Phase I would include the design and installation of corrosion
test stations in the main treatment plant area. Phase II would include moni-
toring of the test stations and design and construction of the corrosion
protection system using both impressed current and sacraficial anode technology.
The entire program would be completed in approximately 18 months.
The cost for this work is $178,344 for the M&EjVillalobos & Associates work.
This cost is eligible for reimbursement under the Clean Water Grant Program.
Since the cost of this Contract Amendment is more than $100,000, the State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) must approve the Amendment before it
can be executed by the District. The SWRCB is reviewing the Contract Amendment
now. District staff do not anticipate any problems with obtaining approval.

BACKGROUND:
Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) with their subcontractor, Villalobos & Associates, took
some field readings in the filter plant area during their cathodic protection
study of the main treatment plant area. Their readings indicated that there
is corrosion activity associated with the buried piping. If left uncorrected,
the piping will deteriorate with time. Upon a request by the District staff,
M&E has submitted a proposal for a predesign study that would assess require-
ments for cathodic protection in the filter plant area.
The District staff has negotiated a Contract Amendment with M&E for this
study. The estimated cost of this Contract Amendment is $26,990 which is
eligible for reimbursement under the Clean Water Grant Program. The study
would be completed within 10 weeks.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the General Manager-Chief Engineer to execute Amendment No.7 to
the Task A Agreement for the predesign study for cathodic protection in the
filter plant area. Authorize the expenditure of sewer construction funds for
this work.

ALLOCATION OF $25,000 FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSTALLING
AN APPLIED WATER PUMP
Capital Expenditure
SUBMITTED BY
Charles Batts
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Plant Operations Department
Issue: The Filter Plant pumping system is oversized for current requirements.
Installation of a smaller pumping system will save $75,000 per year in electrical
costs.
Background: The Water Pollution Control/Reclamation Plant was designed to filter
30 MGD of treated wastewater. A 250 hp applied water pump is used to pump water
out of the outfall to the Filter Plant. Presently, only about 0.5 MGD of filtered
water is being used for in-plant purposes. The appl ied water pumps are oversized
for present requirements, use a disproportionate amount of energy, demand excessive
maintenance, and require constant operational monitoring.
This project would correct these problems by install ing a pumping system sized for
current usage plus excess capacity for up to 1t MGD of water reclamation. This would
result in a direct energy cost savings of $75,000 per year and reduce maintenance
of the existing appl ied water system. The proposed system would use an existing
waste back wash pump from the Filter Plant which would require installation and
piping to the appl ied water System. The existing applied Water pumps would remain
in place in case future filtered water usage increases beyond 2 MGD.
Recommendation: Authorize $25,000 for the installation of an appl ied water pump.

INITIATING DEPT.!DIV.
Plant Operations Department
Issue: The Plant Operations Department requests authorization to expend $10,000 for
the renovation of the barscreen room level instrumentation.
Background: The level measurements in the barscreen room, including influent flow,
are critical to the proper operation of the plant. Due to poor selection and
installation of the existing level transmitters, the level measurements often have
an unacceptably large error (10-20 percent). In addition, the level transmitters for
measuring influent flow are exceedingly difficult and time consuming to cal ibrate.
This makes accurate influent flow measurement very difficult to achieve.
This proposal would upgrade the level instrumentation so accurate measurements would
be ensured and instruments could be calibrated properly.
Recommendation: Authorize $10,000 for the purpose and installation of new level
measurement equipment.

PLANT OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT INFLUENT FLOW STUDY
Board Update
SUBMITTED BY
Robert A. Baker
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Plant Operations Department
The Plant Operations Department has completed a study of the accuracy of the
influent flow measurement devices, the Parshall flumes. A volumetric calibration
procedure was employed which involved filling a tank with sewage which had passed
through a Parshall flume and measuring the volume increase in the tank with time.
The findings of the study are as follows:
l~ Influent flow measurement has been in error at flows over 22 MGD using
the standard mathematical equation for Parshall flumes. (The error
increases as the flow increases.) Recent dry weather flows have been
about seven percent higher than reported; recent wet weather flows have
been up to ten percent higher than reported.
2. The as-designed flume installation is extremely awkward and difficult
to cal ibrate. This design feature 1 imits the practically achievable
accuracy of the Parshall flumes.
The Parshall flumes were originally specified to be used for a 0-75 MGD
influent flow range. The standard Parshall flume equation is only specified for
0-22 MGD in the literature and was shown to be inaccurate over 22 MGD by the
influent flow study. A new Parshall flume equation was developed in the influent
flow study which allows the Parshall flumes to be used at flows up to 50 MGD.
Modifications to the Parshall flume installation have been designed to improve
ease of calibration. A Position Paper has been enclosed to authorize the expenditure
of funds for this project..

TYPE OF ACTION
Receipt of Report and
Authorize Additional
Funds
ISSUE: At the July 16, 1981 Board Meeting, Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., data
processing consultants, presented a report in which the systems requirements definition
data processing alternatives, and a Request For Proposal for a new Financial Management
Information System were reviewed. This Position Paper is a status report of activities
since that date.
BACKGROUND: Upon receipt of Board authorization to issue the Request For Proposals,
proposal requests were sent to 25 hardward manufacturers and service bureaus on
July 20, 1981. A pre-proposal conference was held on July 27, 198t at which
representatives of 15 companies attended. By the August 7. 1981 due date, 5 hardware/
software vendors and 1 service bureau submitted proposals; 5 companies submitted
letters of declination.
The six proposals were opened at a meeting of the District's Systems Study Group on
August 7, 1981. Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. consultants reviewed the evaluation
criteria established and worksheets to be used by group members in evaluating the
proposals. Each group member received a copy of all 6 proposals and assigned
numerical scores based on 10 evaluation criteria. The completed evaluations were
provided to Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. on August 31, 1981 for consolidation with
evaluations prepared by the consultants. The results of the consol idated evaluations
and a report of the significant technical comparative data in the proposals will be
reviewed by the consultants with the Systems Study Group on September 2, 1981. It
is intended that a ranking of the respondents be produced at this meeting, and oral
interviews and site visits of operating facilities be conducted for the top 2 proposers
during the period September 4, 1981 through September 11, 1981.
The six respondents were:
IBM
Wang Laboratories, Inc.
Basic Four Corporation
Computer Resources Management Corporation
International Data Applications
The Service Bureau Company
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION
The price ranges for hardware and applications software were approximately $140,000
to $190,000. The monthly processing fee quoted by the service bureau approximated
$1,700 for the majority of the District's requirements.
The Professional Services Agreement with the data processing consultants contains
a cost ceiling of $22,000 and provides for services in 3 major areas of activity:
definition of systems requirements; preparation of the Request For Proposal; and
vendor evaluation, selection and negotiation. Site visits during the evaluation
process were not included in the scope of work. The Systems Study Group believes
it would be beneficial to have a consultant accompany group members at site visits;
an additional $2,000 to be added to the ceiling price by amendment is, therefore,
requested.
The Systems Study Group will present its recommendation for the selection of the
processing method which should be used by the District to implement the Financial
Management Information System at the September 17, 1981 Board Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with
Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co. to provide for an additional amount not toexceedc$2;000
for attebdaoce at site visits.

BAC KGROUND
The Stage 5B Project will increase the capacity of the District's treatment
plant to 45 MGD and provide sludge handling and dewatering facilities.
District staff proposes to modify existing multiplexor (MUX) units to
control and monitor the Stage 5B treatment processes.
The sole source for parts to modify the MUX units, Iniven Corporation, is
going out of business. When Iniven Corporation ceases operations, the
District will have to purchase custom-built parts for the MUX units. The
cost of custom built parts is 3 to 10 times greater than the cost from
Iniven Corporation.
District staff frayedetermined the required parts for modifying the MUX units
for the Stage 5B Project. The cost of these parts is approximately $11,000.
Acquisition of these parts now rather than waiting until Stage 5B construction
begins will result in significant savings to the District.
The District has requested approval from the State Water Resources Control
Board to prepurchase the MUX parts. This approval will allow reimbursement
of the cost of the assembly if a grant is awarded for construction of the
Stage 5B project. The Board should be aware that State Water Resources
Control Board prepurchase approval does not guarantee funding. If the State
Water Resources Control Board does not award a construction grant, the
District must pay for the entire cost of the MUX parts.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the expenditure of $11,000 from the Sewer Construction Fund to
purchase parts for the multiplexor unit modifications required for the
Stage 5B Project.

ADOPT RESOLUTION
SUBMITTED BY
Curtis Swanson, Associate Engineer
INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Special Projects Engineering
BACKGROUND
State and federal Clean Water Grant regulations require that the Board of
Directors formally authorize officials to sign and file grant applications
and other related documents on behalf of the District. The Board has
previously authorized the General Manager-Chief Engineer and in his
absence, the Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer to perform this function.
Since the position and responsibilities of the Deputy General Manager-
Chief Engineer have been divided into two separate positions (Deputy
General Manager and Deputy Chief Engineer), there is no authorized
representative to sign grant documents when the General Manager-Chief
Engineer is unavailable. District staff will be preparing many grant
applications and grant-related documents for the Stage 5A and 5B projects
over the next several years. Another District official authorized to sign
and file grant documents will permit their timely submittal.
The Deputy Chief Engineer is being proposed as an authorized representative
because the Engineering Department is responsible for managing the District's
Clean Water Grants.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Deputy Chief Engineer to file
applications and provide other assurances for federal and state Clean Water
Grants on behalf of the District.

Accountina Division
ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is required to establish its appropria-
tions limit in accordance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
BACKGROUND:
General Requirements: Proposition 4 was approved on November 6, 1979 and was
incorporated in the California Constitution as Article XIII B. Article XIII B, as
implemented by Senate Bill 1352, 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 consumer price index and population.
SB 1352 requires government agencies to establish their appropriations limit by
resolution each year at a regularly scheduled meeting or a noticed special meet-
ing beginning with the 1980-1981 fiscal year. Notice to the public of the
availability of documentation in support of the appropriation limit must be given
fifteen days prior to adoption. For 1980-1981, the appropriation limit was open
to challenge within 60 days of the effective date of the resolution; for 1981-
1982, and each fiscal year thereafter, the period in which a challenge can be
commenced is 45 days of the effective date of the resolution.
Key Assumptions: The following key assumptions have been used in interpreting the
provisions of Article XIII B:
o The District accounts for its activities in three separate funds: Runn-
ing Expense Fund (General Fund); Sewer Construction Fund (Capital
Fund); Debt Service Fund. The Running Expense Fund is considered to
be an Enterprise Fund and is not subject to limitation under Proposi-
tion 4. Enterprise Funds are generally used to account for operations
that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business
enterprises where the intent is that costs of providing goods or services
to the public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily
through user charges.
o
Article XIII B defines "proceeds of taxes" as including, but not
restricted to, all tax revenues, income from investment of tax
proceeds, and the proceeds of regulatory licenses, user charges and fees
to the extent that such proceeds exceed the reasonable cost of
providing the regulation, product or service. "Proceeds of taxes" also
include state subventions, other than those for mandated programs for
which the state reimburses the local agency. SB 1352 further defined
REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION
INITIATING DEPT./,DIV.
GEN. MGR./CHIEF ENG.
state subventions to include only money received by a local agency
from the state, the use of which is unrestricted by the statute providing
the subvention. Grant funds received from the state for capital
projects are restricted to specific uses and are, therefore, not
"proceeds of taxes".
o Fund balances carried over into fiscal year 1980-1981 are generally
subject to limitation unless they were appropriated into a reserve
account prior to July 1, 1980; however, as the Sewer Construction Fund
is a single purpose fund, the fund balance at June 30, 1981 can be
construed as having been appropriated into reserves and, therefore, not
subject to limitation.
Computation of Appropriations: Debt service is specifically excluded from the
appropriations limit. The only District appropriations which are subject to the
provisions of Proposition 4 are those related to the Sewer Construction, or
Capital Fund.
The District Appropriations Limits are computed on the following attachments:
At~achment A - Computation of Proceeds of Taxes, 1978-1979
'. '.. > .
Attachment B - Computation of Appropriations Subject to Limit, 1978-
1979
Attachment C - Appropriations Limit: 1979-1980, 1980-1981 and 1981-

Attachment D - Appropriations Subject to Limitation, 1980-198l.
Attachment E - Computation of Proceeds of Taxes, 1980-1981.
A memorandum prepared by Rutan and Tucker entitled "Calculation of the Gann
Appropriation Limit" is provided for reference as Attachment F.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize placement of a Public Notice advising that documenta-
tion used in the determination of the appropriation limit shall be available fifteen days
prior to the Board of Directors Meeting to be held on October 1, 1981 at which the appro-
priations limit for the Sewer Construction Fund for the fiscal years 1980-1981 and 1981-
1982 will be adopted.

"CALCULATION OF THE GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT"
A MEMORANDUM PREPARED BY
STAN WOLCOTT
FOR USE AT THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
OF SANITATION AGENCIES' SPRING 1981 CONFERENCE
I. INTRODUCTION
The following memorandum is designed to provide the
information necessary to implement the Gann spending limita-
tion for the remainder of the 1980-81 fiscal year and
thereafter.
With this objective in mind, the first section
of the memorandum gives an overview of the various pertinent
sections of Gann (Article XIIIB, attached hereto as Exhibit
A) and the implementing legislation which went into effect
January 1 of this year.
(SB 1352 and SB 1389 attached
hereto as Exhibits Band C).
The second section of the memorandum then distills the
provisions of Gann and the implementing legislation into a
checklist of steps which must be followed to calculate the
appropriations limitation and to ascertain whether a budget
will be within the limitation.

II. ARTICLE XIIIB AND ITS IMPLEMENTING LEGISLATION
Article XIIIB provides in its primary operative section
that total annual appropriations "subject to limi tation"
must not exceed the appropriations limi t for that public
entity for the prior year, as adjusted for changes in the
cost of Ii ving and population.
[Section 1]
The 1980-81
fiscal year is the first year in which appropriations are
subject to the appropriations limit.
[Section 10] Article
XIIIB defines "appropriations subject to limitation" to mean
any authorization to expend during a fiscal year, the
"proceeds of taxes" Ie vied by that entity and the proceeds
of any state subventions (other than those for mandated
programs) .
[Section 8 (b)]
In turn, Article XIIIB defines "proceeds of taxes" as
including, but not restricted to, all tax revenues, income
from investment of tax proceeds, and the proceeds of regula-
tory licenses, user charges and fees to the extent that such
proceeds exceed the reasonable cost of providing the regula-
tion, product, or service. For local agencies, "proceeds of
taxes" also includes state subventions, other than those for
mandated programs for which the state reimburses the local
agency.
[Section 8 (c); see also Government Code Section
7903.]
The "appropriations limit" of each public entity is the
amount which total annual appropriations subject to limita-
-2-
r\ U i r\.'" ~ j \"",< '- ^ t:.. ,-,
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
A PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING OF PROFESSIONAl,. CORPORATIONS
tion may not exceed under Section 1, provided, however, that
the limit for 1978-79 fiscal year is the total of appropria-
tions subject to limitation for that year.
[Section 8(h)]
Thus, the "base year" for calculating the appropriations
limit is the 1978-79 fiscal year.
"Appropriations subject to limitation" do not include:
(a)
Debt service.
[Section 9(a)]
"Debt service" is
defined by Article Xllla to mean appropriations required
to pay interest and redemption charges, including funding of
any reserve or sinking fund required in connection with
the indebtedness, on indebtedness existing or legally
authorized on or before January 1,1979, or on bonded
indebtedness thereafter approved according to law by vote of
the electors.
[Section 8(g)]
Although "indebtedness"
typically only refers to indebtedness which is a general
obligation of the" public entity, one of the bills which
implements Article Xllla (Sa 1389) provides that debt serv-
ice on other types of bonds will also be excluded.
(b) Appropriations required for purposes of complying
with mandates of the courts or the federal government which,
wi thout discretion, require an expendi ture for addi tional
services or which unavoidably make the providing of existing
services more costly. [Section 9(b)]
(c) Appropriations of any special district which
existed on January 1, 1978, and which did not as of the
-3-
RUTAN & TUCKER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
A PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING OF' PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS
1977-78 fiscal year levy an ad valorem tax on property in
excess of 12-1/2 cents per $100 of assessed value, or the
appropriations of any special district then existing or
thereafter created by vote of the people, which is totally
funded by other than proceeds of taxes.
[Section 9(c}]
We have interpreted this exemption as excluding levies for
bonded indebtedness.
Thus, if a district levied 12 1/2
cents or less for its general rate in 1977-78, it would be
totally exempt and would not need to calculate an appropri-
ations limit.
(d) AEpropriations to local agency loan funds,
indebtedness funds, and investment funds.
[Section 8(i}]
Article XIIIB also provides that the appropriations
limit for any fiscal year must be adjusted as follows:
(a) In the event that the financial responsibility of
providing
. .
serV1ces 1S
transferred,
in whole or in part,
whether by annexation, incorporation or otherwise, from one
public entity to another, then for the year in which the
transfer become effective, the app't:'opriations limit of the
transferee entity must be increased by such reasonable
amount as the public entities mutually agree upon, and the
appropriations limi t of the transferor public enti ty shall
be decreased by the same amount.
[Section 3(a)]
(b) In the event that the financial responsibility of
providing services is transferred, in whole or in part,
-4-
RUTAN & TUCKER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
A PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING OF' PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS
from an entity of government to a private entity, or
the financial source for the provision of services is
transferred, in whole or in part, from tax proceeds of an
entity of government, to regulatory licenses, user charges
or user fees, then for the year of the transfer, the
appropriations limit of such entity must be decreased
accordingly.
[Section 3(b)] Basically, this means that if
the tax support for any service is reduced and revenues from
user charges or fees are substi tuted, the appropriations
limit will be lowered by the amount that the tax support for
that service is lowered.
(c) In the event of an emergency, the appropriation
limit may be exceeded, provided that the appropriations
limits in the following three years are reduced accordingly
to prevent an aggregate increase in appropriations resulting
from the emergency.
[Section 3(c)]
(d) The appropriations limi t may be increased or
decreased by the electors of the public entity for a
period not exceeding four years from the date of the vote.
[Section 4]
(e) If any appropriation category is added or removed
from the appropriations subject to limitation, pursuant to a
final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction, the
appropriations limit must be adjusted accordingly.
[Section
11]
-5-
RUTAN & TUCKER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
A PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING OF PROFESSIONAl. CORPORATIONS
Section 2 of Article XIIIB provides that revenues
received by a public entity in excess of its appropriations
for that year must be returned by a revision of tax rates or
fee schedules within the next two subsequent fiscal years.
This section has been interpreted in the implementing
legislation as also permitting refunds or tax credits.
(See
discussion of SB 1352 below.) The only "revenues" which are
required to be refunded are proceeds of taxes which are in
excess of the appropriations of tax proceeds for that year.
This interpretation is consonant with the overall spending
limi tat ion . purpose of Article XIIIB, and is the position
adopted by the Legislature in SB 1352.
A technique for a void ing refunds, howe ver, appears in
the form of Section 5 of Article XIIIB.
Section 5 permits
public entities to establish contingency, emergency, unem-
ployment, reserve, retirement, sinking, trust, or similar
funds as they deem reasonable and proper.
Contributions to
any such funds, to the extent that the contributions are
derived from the proceeds of taxes, constitute "appropria-
tions subject to limi tation" in the year of contribution.
The withdrawals from such funds, the expendi tures of such
withdrawals, or transfers between or among such funds, are
not appropriations subject to limitation in the year of
wi thdrawal.
-6-
RUTAN & TUCKER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
A PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING or PRorESSIONAL CORPORATIONS
Thus, an entity which had "excess" revenues, either tax
proceeds or non-tax proceeds, could establish the funds
permitted by Section 5 and make a "contribution" to the
funds in that fiscal year. The contribution of tax proceeds
will be subject to the appropriations limit, and unless the
entity has some "head room" in its appropriation limitation,
it might have to refund the excess tax proceeds. No similar
impediment applies to the contribution of non-tax proceeds,
which are not subject to the appropriation limit.
SB 1352, introduced by Senator Marks, is the bill which
implements the provisions of Article XIIIB.
Among other
things, it sets forth the formulas for establishing and
subsequently adjusting the spending limi tation for public
entities.
These formulas are set forth in the next section
of the memorandum.
Additionally, SB 1352 provides the
following:
{I} that the adjustments required under Section
3 of Article XIIIB are to be made only for the 1979-80 fis-
cal year, but not the 1978-79 fiscal year; (2) that each
year, the governing body of each public entity must, by
resolution, establish its appropriations limit for the fol-
lowing fiscal year at a regularly scheduled meeting or a
noticed special meeting.
[Government Code Section 7910]
The governing body must also make available to the public
the documentation upon which the appropriations limit is
based.
[~. ]
( 3 )
For purposes of Section 2, a public
-7-
RUTAN & TUCKEF-<

entity is also permi tted to return the excess revenues by
granting a tax credit or refund, or by providing a temporary
suspension of tax rates or fee schedules, or by any other
means consistent with the intent of that section.
[ Govern-
ment Code Section 7911] "Revenue" is defined as including
only tax proceeds.
[Government Code Section 7901(i)]
(4 )
If the amount allocated from tax proceeds to subsidize a
particular service is decreased, a downward adjustment of
the appropriations limit is required.
[Government Code
Section 7913.]
With these provisions in mind, the next section of the
memorandum sets forth a checklist for the calculation of the
appropriations limi t for the 1980-81 fiscal year, and for
determining whether the budget for the 1980-81 fiscal year
is in compliance.
III. CHECKLIST FOR CALCULATION OF APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT AND
COMPLIANCE
STEP 1.
The first step in calculating the appropria-
tions limit is to identify "appropriations subject to limi-
tation", i.e., authorizations to expend "proceeds of taxes"
in the 1978-79 fiscal year.
As noted above, "proceeds of
taxes" cons is t of:
(a) all traditional taxes; (b) income
from the investment of tax proceeds; (c) the excess of user
charges over the reasonable cost of providing the service;
(d) income from investment of such excess user charges; and
-8-
R U 7...:.. >: & T L.; C ;.-( ;::: ~
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
4 PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING OF PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS
(e) state subventions, other than for mandated programs for
which the state reimburses the public entity or expenditure
of which is restricted.
STEP 2.
The second step in calculating the appropria-
tions limit is the deduction of appropriations which are not
subject to limi tation.
These appropriations include:
(a)
debt service; (b) appropriations to comply with court
mandates, (c) appropriations of certain exempt special
districts; and (d) the appropriations for local agency loan
funds, indebtedness funds and investment funds.
If a
district qualified under the 12 1/2 cents exemption dis-
cussed above, it would be totally exempt from Gann and no
appropriations limit need be calculated.
STEP 3.
The figure derived in Step 2 (net proceeds of
taxes) is multiplied by the change in the Consumer Price
Index for the year 1978. . This change, as calculated under
SB 1352, is 1.102.
STEP 4.
The figure arrived at under Step 3 is multi-
plied by the change in population for 1978.
For th is
purpose, SB 1352 utilizes the population change figure
calculated by the Department of Finance for purposes of SB
90. A district will have to check with it to get the
population figures for its area.
The resulting product
would have been the appropriations limit for fiscal year
1979-80, had Article XIIIS been in effect.
-9-
RUTAN & TUCKER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
A PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING Of' PROFESSIONAL CORPORATIONS
STEP 5.
The 1979-80 spending limit is multiplied by
the change in the Consumer Price Index for 1979. Under
SB 1352, the figure for 1979 is 1.147.
STEP 6.
The figure derived in Step 5 is multiplied by
the change in population for 1979.
STEP 7.
The final step in calculating the 1980-81
appropriations limi t is the making of the adjustments, if
any, required by Sections 3 and 11 of Article XIIIB, as
described above.
STEP 8.
Ha ving calculated the 1980-81 appropriations
limit, the next step is to calculate the amount of proposed
appropriations subject to limi tation for that year. The
appropriations subject to limi tat ion in 1980-81 is calcu-
lated in the same manner that the proceeds of taxes subject
to limitation were calculated for 1978-79.
That is,
Steps 1 and 2 are repeated utilizing the figures for the
anticipated "proceeds of taxes" in 1980-81.
STEP 9.
Having arrived at both the 1980-81 appropria-
tions limit and the amount of appropriations subject to
limi tation in that same year, the next step is to compare
the two figures. Obviously, the appropriations of tax pro-
ceeds must not exceed the limit for that year.
STEP 10.
The final step in the appropriations limi t
procedure is to determine whether or not a district has
any "excess revenues" for purposes of Section 2. As will be
-10-
RUTAN & TUCKER
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
Ii PARTNERSHIP CONSISTING OF' PROF"ESSIOHAL CORPORATIONS
recalled, this is the section which requires the excess of
revenues over appropriations to be refunded within two years
of receipt.
To make this determination, a district first
looks to its total appropriations of tax proceeds for the
year.
A district then calculates the total tax proceeds
to be received for the same period.
If the tax proceeds to
be received equal appropriations of tax proceeds, then no
refund must be made.
If this were not the case, however, and a district had
tax proceeds in excess of its appropriations, it could avoid
the refund required by Section 2 by appropriating, up its
limi tation, the excess tax proceeds to the funds which the
district is authorized to establish under Section 5. Where
poss ible, the funds es tabl ished should comply with the
provisions of the Government Code or other applicable Codes
governing accounting and budgetary procedures.
However, if
these provisions conflict with Section 5, the constitutional
provision prevails.
With Section 2 in mind, a qistrict might wish to
consider transferring its existing fund balances into
reserve, contingency or other similar funds permi tted by
Section 5, if it has not already done so.
Thus, in subse-
quent fiscal years, each of the enterprise funds of the
district will show a zero balance at the beginning of the
year, rather than a carryover balance from the preceding
-11-

year. The district may then budget as it has traditionally
done, with the exception that, in reconciling expenditures
and revenues, the budget will clearly show deficits financed
by a draw-down of the reserve fund balances.

this division is t,o provide for the effective and efficient
implementation of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that citizens be proVided
with timely information so that effective oversight can be
accomplished at the local level.
7901. For the purposes of Article XIIIB .of the California
Constitution and this division:
(a) "Change in California per capita personal income" for a
calendar year means the number resulting when the quotient of the
California personal income, as published by the U.S. Department of
Commerce in the Survey of Current Business for the fourth q1;Ylrter
of a calendar year divided by the civilian population of the state on
January 1 of the next calendar year, as estimated by the Department
of Finance, is divided by the similarly determined quotient for the
next prior year. For example, the change in California per capita
personal income for 1979 (to be used for computing the
_appropriations limit for the 1980-81 fiscal year) would equal-the
fourth quarter 1979 personal income divide a by the January 1, )0,
population, the quotient divided by the fourth quarter 1978 personal
income divided by the January 1, 1979, population.
(b) "Change in cost of living" for a calendar year means the
number resulting when the United States All Urban Consumer Price
Index for the month of March of a calendar year is divided by such
index for the month of March of the prior calendar year.

population between January 1 of the next calendar year and January
1 of the calendar year in question, as estimated by the Department
of Finance pursuant to Section 2227 of the Revenue and Taxation
Code for each city and county and Section 2228 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code for each special district, plus 100, is divided by 100. For
example, the change in population for 1979 would equal the
percentage change in population, between January 1, 1980, and
January 1, 1979, plus 100, the sum divided by 100. For purposes of the
state's appropriations limit, "change in population" means the
number resulting when the civilian population of the state on
January 1 of the next calendar year, as estimated by the Department
of Finance, is divided by the similarly estimated population for
January 1 of the calendar year in question. For example, the change
in population for 1979 (to be used for computing the appropriations
limit for the 1980-81 fiscal year) would equal the January 1, 1980,
population divided by the January 1, 1979, population. .

SEC. 3. The Legislature finds an eclares that Article XIII B of
the California Constitution is intended to provide certain limitations
and controls on government spending at all levels of government in
the state, but these restrictions are intended to be applied in a
reasonable and practical way so as to permit flexibility in meeting the
constantly changing conditions and needs of the people for
governmental services.
By way of example, the California Constitution ~equires that the
Legislature provide for a system of public schools and the courts of
this state have held that a metht>d of financing this public school
system which depends substantially on local property taxes with
resultant wide disparities in school revenue violates constitutional
provisions guaranteeing equal protection of the laws. If Article
XIII B were construed to require that all money expended by a local
school district was required to be included within its appropriations
subject to limitation, attempts to accommodate each of these
separate demands of the California Constitution could be
substantially frustrated.
The Legislature further finds and declares, accordingly, that
equalization of the financial capabilities of school districts is a matter
of statewide interest and concern and that,state money provi~ to
school districts to achieve this end is properly excluded from .ite
subventions" to local school districts as that term is used in Article
XIII B of the California Constitution.
Similarly, the various categorical aid programs provided by the
state are provided as a matter of statewide public policy. The
changing character of children and neighborhoods and the resultant
changing needs of local school districts require flexibility in
providing these programs which can only be achieved by
characterizing these programs as state programs, thereby excluding
state support for these programs from state subventions to local
school districts.
The Legislature finds and declares that the provisions of this act
provide for the implementation of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution in a manner which is entirely consistent with the intent
of that article and the voters who adopted it, which accommodates
competing constitutional demands, and which permits reasonable
and practical methods of satisfying the future changing needs of this
