3. The approved budgets for individual capital outlay projects and capital improvement projects remain as authorized until these projects are completed or canceled. Any unexpended authorized appropriation for each capital project, including related transfers, is automatically carried over from fiscal year to fiscal year until the funds of the individual capital project are expended or the capital project is canceled by the City Manager. Following the completion of the individual capital projects, the unexpended appropriation of each completed capital project shall be canceled, and the capital projects' funding sources shall be released from their unexpended funding commitment. Actual carryover budget amounts for capital improvement projects revenue and unspent appropriation from 2024-2025 shall be recalculated and updated to reflect balances as of June 30, 2025 and are hereby incorporated as part of the 2025-26 approved budget.

Article XIII 8 of the California constitution which places certain restrictions on appropriations made by local governments and restrictions are applicable to appropriations that met the definition of "Proceeds of Taxes".

a. The calculated appropriation limit for fiscal year 2025-26 is $80,639,025. The total appropriations subject to limitation is $22,791,054.
b. The price factor used is the percentage change in California per capita personal income over the prior year, or 6.44%;
c. the population factor used is the percentage change in the County of Stanislaus population over the prior year, or 0.55%.
10.This resolution shall be effective immediately upon adoption but shall be operative as of July 1, 2025.
