REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:

Counsel for the District General Manager
ISSUE: The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District is required to establish its
appropriations limit in accordance with Article XIII B, Government Spending Limitation,
of the California Constitution.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution establishing the appropriations limit in the
amount of $88,919,318 for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 -14, in accordance with Article XIII
B of the California Constitution; select the change in the California per capita personal
income percentage for use in computing the appropriations limit.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: None.
BACKGROUND: On August 1, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized posting a
public notice of availability of documentation in support of the District's appropriations
limit. As statutorily required, the public notice was published at least 15 days prior to
the September 5, 2013 Board Meeting, at which the adoption of the appropriations limit
is to be considered.
California's State appropriations limit, originally established by Proposition 4 in 1979,
places an "upper limit" each year on the amount of monies that can be spent from State
tax proceeds received. The annual limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that
were authorized to be spent in FY 1986 -87, changed annually by a factor comprised of
the change in population combined with either the change in California per capita
personal income or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the
preceding year due to local nonresidential construction. The Board must select
between the per capita personal income, or the change in the local assessment roll due
to local non - residential construction, by a recorded vote. Last year, the County
Assessor determined that the non - residential construction index for FY 2012 -13 was not
available and the report is again unavailable for FY 2013 -14. The Board approved the
use of the change in the California per capita personal income percentage for the
calculation of the previous fiscal year's appropriations limit.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: September 5, 2013
Subject. ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE FISCAL YEAR 2013 -2014
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE XIII B OF
THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
The California per capita personal income percentage change is 5.12% and is being
used in the calculation of FY 2013 -14 appropriations limit. The appropriations limit
computed is $88,919,318 for FY 2013 -14.
The total District Ad Valorem Tax budgeted for FY 2013 -14 is $13.7 million, of which
$8.1 million has been allocated to the Sewer Construction Fund and $5.6 million is
dedicated for payment of the Debt Service Fund. Interest on total tax proceeds is
estimated to be $17,100. Therefore, tax proceeds allocated to the Sewer Construction
and Debt Service Funds, plus total interest earned, will be approximately $13,717,100,
which is significantly below the appropriations limit of $88,919,318.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: No Committee review is necessary for this matter
as establishment of the appropriations limit is statutorily mandated under Article XIII B
of the California Constitution entitled Government Spending Limitation.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution establishing the appropriations
limit in the amount of $88,919,318 for the FY 2013 -14, in accordance with Article XIII B
of the California Constitution, using the change in the California per capita personal
income percentage for use in computing the appropriations limit.
