Subject:
RESOLUTION – DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS LIMITS FOR 2002-2003WHEREAS Article XIIIB of the Constitution of the State of California, as approved by the Voters in November, 1979, requires the establishment of Appropriation limits in "proceeds of taxes" revenues for public agencies, including school districts, beginning with the 1980-81 fiscal year; and
WHEREAS Each district is required to determine and adopt such Appropriations limits for the 2002-2003 fiscal year, as a legislative act; and
WHEREAS The Los Angeles Community College District’s Appropriations limits been calculated in accordance with Article XIIIB of the State Constitution and Division 9 of Title I of the Government Code; therefore, be it
RESOLVED That as a legislative act of this governing board, that for the purposes of Article XIIIB, there is hereby established this District’s "appropriation limit" of $547,576,860 for the 2002-2003 fiscal year.
Background: The passage of Proposition 4 in 1979 added Article XIIIB to the Constitution of the State of California. This article places a limit on appropriations and provides that revenues from taxes may not
exceed that appropriation limit.* Each year, prior to adoption of the Final Budget, each district is required to determine and adopt such appropriations limit. The budgeted expenditures subject to limitation in 2002-2003 total $343,792,890 (Attachment #1: GANN Limit Worksheet), which is well within the appropriations limit of $547,576,860.
*The Appropriation Limit is adjusted each year by inflation and population factors. Government Code Section 7908(c) requires each community college district to report to the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and to the Director of Finance annually its appropriations limit. The appropriations subject to limit includes State aid apportionments, State subventions, Local property taxes, estimated excess Debt Services taxes, estimated Parcel taxes, less any local appropriations for unreimbursed State, Court, and Federal mandates.
