Attachment 1
FISCAL YEAR 2022-23
Calculation of Appropriations Limits
The Town is required by the State Constitution, Article XIIIB (Proposition 4) to annually calculate the
maximum amount of appropriations subject to limitation. The calculation is intended to limit the annual
growth in tax revenues used to fund governmental expenditures in California. Article XIIIB was changed
with the passage of Proposition 111 on the June 1990 ballot. These changes permit greater flexibility with
regard to annually calculating increases in the appropriations limit (Gann Limit) by allowing additional
growth factors to be used. The factors permitting the maximum allowable increase in the appropriations
limit are chosen for the calculation each fiscal year.
As can be seen below, the Town is substantially under its appropriations limit. The difference between
the appropriations limit and the appropriations subject to limitation has grown over time as the limit has
been substantially increased by the annual adjustment factors. This, combines with the comparatively
slower pace of growth in proceeds of taxes over the same time period, has contributed to the amount
under the appropriations limit.
