RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt a resolution establishing an appropriations limit of $26,351 ,793 for the 1985/86 fiscal year. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Article XIIIB of the California Constitution specifies that appropriations financed from "Proceeds of Taxes" may increase annually by the change in population of the city and the change in the U. S. Consumer Price Index or California per capita personal income, whichever is less. The CPI increased by 3.74% while personal income rose 7.92%. Therefore, the CPI factor is used. "Proceeds of Taxes" includes such revenues as property taxes, sales and use taxes, utility users taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and state subventions. Revenues from other sources like fee s/charges and federal grants are considered "Non-Proceeds of Taxes" and not subject to limit. The State Department of Finance is charged with providing the data necessary for local jurisdictions to establish their appropriation limit. Based on this data, the 1985-86 appropriation limit has been calculated as follows: Fiscal Year 1984-85 Appropriation Limit $25,036,238 Increase by the March to March U. S. All Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI ) x 1 .0374 (3.74%) Increase by the Population Change in Chula w.,.. . . , Vista from January 1 , 1984, to January 1 , 1985 x 1 .0146 (1 .46%) FISCAL YEAR 1985-86 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT $26,351 .793 FISCAL IMPACT: The "Proceeds of Taxes" subject to the appropriations limit are estimated to be $17,444,237 for fiscal year 1985-86.
