A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATION LIMIT
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA FOR FISCAL YEAR
2025-2026
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines
and declares as follows:
A. Article XIIIB of the Constitution of the State of California, adopted by the
voters of the State of California in 1979, imposes upon State and local
government the obligation to limit each fiscal year's appropriations to those
established in fiscal year 1978-79 as adjusted for by inflation and
population, together with other specified changes required or permitted.
B. In June of 1990, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition
111, which amended Article XIIIB to establish the limit originally calculated
for fiscal year 1986-87 as a new adjustment base, and to change the
definition of the cost of living to be either the percentage change in
California per capita personal income from the preceding year or the
percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year for
the jurisdiction due to the addition of local nonresidential new construction.
C. Proposition 111 further modified Article XIIIB requirements by making
certain capital outlay, debt service, emergency and court ordered
expenditures not subject to the limit, and by allowing expenditures in excess
of one year's limit to be offset by under expenditures in an immediately
following year.
D. The City of Santa Ana has opted to use as the inflation adjustment factor
the percentage change in the California per capita personal income from
the preceding year.
E. The City of Santa Ana has opted to use as the population adjustment factor
the County's percentage change in population from the preceding year.
