body
BACKGROUND
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires the County to establish an appropriation limit on an annual basis. The appropriation limit is the amount the County could spend that is funded by certain taxes and State subventions, while the revenue subject to the limit is the amount of revenue from those sources the County anticipates actually receiving in the fiscal year. The included correspondence provides information on how the recommended appropriation limit was calculated in accordance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
The attached resolution establishes the Fiscal Year 2025-26 appropriation limit of $3,351,682,838 and the estimated revenue subject to that limit of $261,316,934 using the percentage change in California per capita personal income from the preceding year as the change in the cost of living factor.
Requested Action: Adopt a resolution establishing the Fiscal Year 2025-26 appropriation limit and estimated revenue subject to the limit for the County of Napa as required by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution.
