Scheduled and Related Items Item: 2D
To
City Council
From
Sonia Fabela, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Council Bill #R-2024-18 to amend the City Appropriations (GANN limit) Limit for fiscal year 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND:
In November of 1979, voters approved Proposition 4, an initiative that added Article XIII B to the California Constitution. This constitutional amendment, also known as the Gann initiative, placed limits on the growth of expenditures for publicly funded programs. Division 9 of Title 1, beginning with Section 7900 of the Government Code, was then added to laws to establish the process for calculating state and local government appropriations limits and appropriations subject to limitation under Article XIII B of the California Constitution. These constitutional and statutory sections explain and define the appropriations limit and appropriations subject to limitation as they apply to state and local government and require that each entity of government formally "adopt" its appropriations limit for a given fiscal year. The amount is adjusted each year for inflation and population changes indicated on a letter certified by the California Department of Finance (DOF) by June 1st of each year.
ANALYSIS:
The April 2024 California DOF letter containing the “Price Factor and Population Information” was posted on their website. Each local jurisdiction can use their local percentage change in population factor or the County population change for January 1, 2024, whichever is greater, in conjunction with a change in cost of living - price factor (per capita personal income change) to calculate their fiscal year 2024-2025 appropriations limit. The California per capita cost of living change is calculated based on historical data and changed by 3.62%. The State DOF estimates the City of Loma Linda’s population to have changed by -0.02% and the San Bernardino County’s population changed by 0.42%. As the change in San Bernardino County population is greater than the population change in the City of Loma Linda, it is recommended to be used as the population factor for the fiscal year 2024- 2025 appropriations limit calculation.
These changes yielded a $2,551,986 increase to the appropriations limit, which will be revised to $65,483,185, for fiscal year 2024-2025. The difference between the revised appropriations limit of $65,483,185 and the proceeds of taxes subject to the appropriations limit of $14,129,154 as set forth in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Proposed Budget is $51,354,031. Therefore, the City is $51,354,031 under its appropriation or “Gann” limit.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None. Approval of the resolution, however, establishes a legal limit on the amount of tax proceeds that can be appropriated in Fiscal Year 2024-25.

WHEREAS, Section 7902(a) of the Government Code sets forth the method for determining the appropriations limit for each local jurisdiction for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Loma Linda wishes to revise the appropriations limit for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the City of Loma Linda, California; Resolution No. 2024-18
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Loma Linda, California, as follows:

EXHIBIT “A”
GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT - FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, commonly referred to as the Gann Initiative or Gann Appropriations Limit, was adopted by California voters in 1979 and placed limits on the amount of proceeds of taxes that state and local governmental agencies can appropriate and spend each year.
The limit is different for each agency and changes each year. Each year’s limit is based on the amount of tax proceeds that were authorized to be spent in the base Fiscal Year 1978-79 in each agency, modified for changes in inflation and population in each subsequent year. Inflationary adjustments are, by law, based on increases in the California per capita income or the increase in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction. Population adjustments are based on city population growth or county population growth. The annual adjustment factors used in making this calculation are the cost of living adjustment - CPI based on the percentage change in California per capita income and the population adjustment based on the annual population change for the County of San Bernardino.
As established by the following calculations, the City of Loma Linda’s appropriations limit for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is $65,483,185. The difference between the appropriations limit of $65,483,185 and the proceeds of taxes subject to the appropriations limit of $14,129,154 as set forth in the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Proposed Budget is $51,354,031. Therefore, the City is $51,354,031 under its appropriation or “Gann” limit.
Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Appropriation Limit $62,931,199
A. Cost of living adjustment 1.0362
(based on change in CA per capita income)
B. Population adjustment 1.0042

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments.
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2024, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2024-25. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the factors to calculate the 2024-25 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit. Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2024. Please note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2024-25 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2024-25 3.62
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2024-25 appropriation limit.
2024-25:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3.62 percent
Population Change = 0.17 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 3.62 + 100 = 1.0362 100
Population converted to a ratio: 0.17 + 100 = 1.0017
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2024-25: 1.0362 x 1.0017 = 1.0379

Citizen Option for Public Safety (COPS) Grant Expenditure Plan Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget Item
Meeting

Scheduled and Related Items Item: 2F
To
City Council
From
Sonia Fabela, Finance Director
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the City’s expenditure plan for FY 2024-2025 Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Funds (also known as the “COPS - Citizen Option for Public Safety - Grant”) as discussed below and included in the Proposed FY 2024-2025 City Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Although the funds and expenditures have been included as part of the FY 2024-2025 Proposed City Budget, the County’s Law Enforcement Oversight Committee (the entity responsible for administering the funds for the State) requires that the Council approve the expenditure plan for the COPS grant as a separate item from the City budget.
Pages from the proposed FY 2024-2025 City Budget reflecting this expenditure plan are attached.
The estimated use of COPS funding by the City for FY 2024-2025 is $233,400. As the City has done in previous years, the COPS funds will be used to pay for the Sheriff’s Service Specialist (SSS) position. Additionally, the grant will be used to pay for activities and supplies overseen by the SSS position such as the Kidzwatch program for three schools, the annual Explorer’s Law Enforcement Competition, and the Red Ribbon “Say NO to drugs” campaign. The grant also pays for the uniforms, installation event for the Citizens Patrol, and annual fee for the 26 License Plate Reader cameras at various locations.
ANALYSIS:
N/A
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
As required by State regulations related to the grant, COPS grant revenue is budgeted and accounted for in a fund separate than the General Fund. Grant funds are then used to reimburse the General Fund for approved expenses incurred as discussed above.

a. The design and location of the drive-through restaurant will not contribute to increased congestion on public or private streets or alleys adjacent to the subject property or drive aisles.
b. The design and location of the drive-through restaurant will not impede access to or from the parking lot serving the business, impair normal circulation within the parking lot, or impede pedestrian pathways to the building.
2. Development standards. The drive-through restaurant shall comply with the following development standards:
a. The drive-through lane shall be long enough to accommodate the necessary stacking of vehicles and address queuing. The stacking distance and requirements shall be determined through a parking/queuing study.
a. In the event that the number of vehicles waiting at the service window exceeds the length of the stacking lane(s), personnel from the drive-through establishment shall manage the queue to ensure that all vehicles do not block or interfere with on-site vehicular and pedestrian circulation and parking areas. b. No drive-through aisles shall exit directly onto a public right-of-way. c. Entrances to drive-through lanes shall be at least 25 feet from driveways entering a public or private street or alley.
d. Drive-through aisles shall have a minimum 11-foot width on curves and a minimum 11- foot width on straight sections. The entrance to the lane and the direction of traffic flow shall be clearly designated by signs and pavement marking or raised curb. e. A drive-through restaurant shall be subject to all parking requirements applicable to the use and not be considered as justification for reducing the number of required parking spaces. The drive-through restaurant shall comply with the eating and drinking places requirement in the parking regulations: for all floor area; one parking space for each two hundred fifty square feet of floor area.
f. Landscaping is required on all street frontages and adjacent to customer entrances to the building. Interior landscaping must also be incorporated to effectively screen the drive through aisle and menu board signs from street view. 4 g. Menu boards shall be a maximum of 30 square feet, with a maximum height of seven feet, and shall face away from the street and be screened from public view. h.

i. The decision-maker may impose restrictions on the permitted hours of operation if deemed necessary or desirable to protect nearby properties or ensure public safety and welfare. These restrictions can be established as a condition at the time of original approval or at any time thereafter.
j. Operation of the drive-through restaurant service facility is restricted to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. when the site is contiguous to residentially zoned or used property, unless the decision-maker approves different hours of operation as a condition of approval of the conditional use permit.
3. Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection shall be used in analyzing the adequacy of the design of the drive-through restaurant. The decision-maker may require redesign of a drivethrough restaurant to comply with these guidelines. a. Public address speakers, on-site lighting, and drive-through lanes shall be designed and located such that noise, exhaust fumes, and vehicle headlights shall not unreasonably impact adjacent properties.
b. Placement of a canopy over the pick-up window is desirable to protect the customer from inclement weather.

Articulation of structure surface should be encouraged through the use of openings and recesses which create texture and shadow patterns. Structure entrances should be well articulated and project a formal entrance through variation of architectural plane, pavement surface treatment, and landscape plaza.
d. Building must be integrated by site plan with the center to encourage pedestrian use (e.g. additional hardscape features, traffic or pedestrian flow, or orientation of buildings). e. Intersection of pedestrian walkways drive-through drive aisles should be avoided, but where they cannot be avoided, they shall have clear visibility, and they must be emphasized by enriched paving or striping.
f. To promote public health and wellness, developers are encouraged to include a variety of healthy food options on the menu, including but not limited to salads, grilled meat selections, whole grain products, and reduced sugar or low-fat alternatives. Emphasis should be placed on making these healthy choices readily available and promoting them alongside traditional menu items.
