APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27

BACKGROUND
In November 1979, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 4, commonly known as the "appropriations limit" or "Gann limit". The proposition created Article XIII B of the State Constitution, a law that requires state and local governments to adopt an annual appropriations limit. The appropriations limit establishes a limit on the proceeds of taxes that may be appropriated for spending in a given fiscal year.

In June 1990, Proposition 111 was passed to modify Proposition 4. Two of the provisions included in Proposition 111 were to provide for an option for local governments to select from adjustment factors that would allow them to be more responsive to local growth and to require an annual review of the appropriations limit calculations. The adjustment factors can be based on either the growth in California per capital income {Per Capita Income) or the growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City {New Construction Rate). The adjustment factor for population can be based on either a population growth rate in Tehachapi or Kern County.

The limit is based on actual appropriations from fiscal year 1978/79 and it is increased each year by population and economic growth factors. The calculation includes only revenues that are classified as proceeds from taxes and allows for certain exclusions including transfers, capital outlays, payment for debt services, appropriations supported by increased gas taxes, and appropriations required to comply with mandates of the courts or federal government, such as FLSA overtime or payments of FICA/Medicare Tax.

When the limit is exceeded, Proposition 4 requires the surplus to be returned to taxpayers within two years.

Appropriations in the two-year period can be averaged before becoming subject to excess revenue provisions of the Gann limit.

The appropriations limit calculation for fiscal year 2026/27 is derived from the percentage change in California Per Capita Personal Income and the population rate change in Kern County. The percentage change in Per Capita Income was 4.95% and the population rate change for Kern County was 0.10%.

The calculated appropriations limit for the City of Tehachapi for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is $20,064,246.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact unless appropriations from tax proceeds exceed the limit.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the council adopt the resolution establishing an appropriation limit for fiscal year 2026/27.

For brokers/dealers of government securities and other investments, the Finance Director shall select only brokers/dealers who are licensed and in good standing with the California Department of Securities, the Securities and Exchange Commissions, the National Association of Securities Dealers or other applicable self-regulatory organizations.

DIVERSIFICATION:

The City of Tehachapi will diversify its investments by security type and institution. Investments shall be diversified to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of investments in a specific maturity, a specific issuer (except the U.S. Treasury) or a specific class of securities. Diversification strategies shall be determined and revised periodically. In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general policies and constraints shall apply:
(a) Investment maturity dates shall be matched
versus liabilities to avoid undue concentration
in a specific maturity sector.
(b) Maturities selected shall provide for stability of
income and liquidity.
(c) Disbursement and payroll dates shall be
covered through investment maturities,

14. MAXIMUM TERM TO MATURITY:

No investment shall be made which, at the time of the investment, has a term remaining to maturity in excess of five years.

15. INTERNAL CONTROLS:

The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City of Tehachapi are protected from loss, theft, fraud or misuse.

16. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

The entity's investment strategy is active. Given this strategy, the basis used by the Finance Director to determine whether market yields are being achieved shall be to identify a comparable benchmark to the portfolio investment duration (i.e. 7 90-day US Treasury Bill, 6-month US Treasury Bill, 2-year CMT-Constant Maturity Treasury). Benchmarks may change over time based on changes in market conditions or cash flow requirements.

17. REPORTING:

In accordance with CGC S53646(b)(1), the Finance Director may submit to each member of the City Council and the City Manager a quarterly investment report.

The quarterly report shall be submitted within 45 days following the end of the quarter covered by the report. The report shall include the type of investment, issuer, maturity date, par value and the current market value of each component of the portfolio, including funds managed for the City ofTehachapi by third party contracted managers. The report will also include the source of the portfolio valuation.

RATE OF RETURN: The yield obtainable on a security based on its purchase price or its current market price. This may be the amortized yield to maturity on a bond the current income return.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO}: A holder of securities sells these securities to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed date. The security "buyer" in effect lends the "seller" money for the period of the agreement, and the terms of the agreement are structured to compensate him for this.

The investor agrees to repurchase the securities at a specified date for the same cash value plus an agreed upon interest rate. Although the transaction is similar to a repo, the purpose of entering into a reverse repo is quite different. While a repo is a straightforward investment of public funds, the reverse repo is a borrowing.

HONORABLE MAYOR POGON-CORD AND COUNCIL MEMBERS

HAMED JONES, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: MAY 26, 2026
SUBJECT: AB 2561 VACANCY RATES PUBLIC HEARING

BACKGROUND
AB 2561 requires public agencies to hold at least one public hearing per fiscal year to discuss vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts prior to the adoption of the new City budget. This report discusses the City's legal obligations under the new law, which was effective January 1, 2025.

AB 2561 was introduced to address the issue of job vacancies in local government.

Among other requirements, the bill mandates that public agencies present the status of vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts during a public hearing before the agency's governing body. AB 2561 was enacted into law and is codified at Government Code section 3502.3.

In compliance with the new legal obligations, the following is required:

1. Public Hearing: At least once per fiscal year, at a public hearing before the City Council, the City shall present information regarding the status of vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts and identify any necessary changes in policies, procedures, and recruitment activities that may lead to obstacles in the hiring process.

This presentation must occur prior to the adoption of the final budget and at least once per fiscal year.

2. Additional Reporting for High Vacancy Rates: If the vacancies within a single bargaining unit meet or exceed 20% of the authorized full-time positions in that bargaining unit, upon request of the recognized employee organization for that bargaining unit, the City must provide additional information during the public hearing, including the following: (1) the total number of vacancies; (2) the number of applicants; (3) the average time to fill positions; and (4) opportunities to improve compensation and working conditions for employees in the bargaining unit.

If requested, the City's recognized employee organizations for each bargaining unit are allowed to make presentations during the public hearing concerning vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts. The City has two (2) bargaining units.

In 2022, the City Council approved an Employee Recruitment Program for the Tehachapi Police Department to combat a nation-wide crisis in recruiting new officers and retaining officers on staff. Prior to the program, there had been a reduction in the number of applicants as well as a decline in the quality of applicants for open positions. Additionally, officers were leaving the department for more lucrative opportunities with other police agencies, often within 5 years of being on the job. The Employee Recruitment Program provides a signing incentive and vacation incentive for lateral police officers as well as a signing incentive for police officer trainees. The signing incentives are staggered based on completion of service to promote longer retention.

In 2023, the City contracted with Neogov and began using its Insight module for recruitment. This led to better efficiencies in the City's job posting and recruitment efforts as job applications increased significantly and human resources hiring functions were streamlined. Neogov, along with the success of the Police Department's Employee Recruitment Program, have bolstered the City's recruitment and retention capabilities.

As of May 1, 2026, the City had the following full-time position vacancy rates:

Budgeted
Bargaining Unit Positions 25-26 Positions Filled Vacancies (#) Vacancies(%) TPOA 15 14 1 6.67%
FPSE 25 24 1 4.00%
Unrepresented 48 45 3 6.25%
TOTAL 88 83 5 5.68%
Based on this data, none of the units have a vacancy rate exceeding 20% of the total number of authorized full-time positions. Additional reporting is therefore not required.

There do not appear to be any obstacles in the hiring process that would necessitate any changes to current recruitment and retention efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT
None

RECOMMENDATION
Hold a public hearing and accept the report on the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts for Fiscal Year 2025-26.

The current memorandum of understanding for the Tehachapi Police Officers Association (TPOA) includes a 5% salary adjustment for FY 26-27. The 5% salary adjustment is applied to the fiscal 2026-27 salary schedule for all employees represented by the Tehachapi Police Officers Association (TPOA) as well as the positions of Sergeants and Lieutenants to avoid salary compaction.

The salary schedule presented includes the new positions of Police Records Clerk for the Police department, Administrative Assistant I for the Development Services department, and a Part-Time Finance Analyst II for the Finance department.
