A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VERNON
ADOPTING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026- 2027, PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 7910
SECTION 1. Recitals.
A. Government Code Section 7910 (GANN initiative), passed by California voters on November 6, 1979, requires the governing body of each local jurisdiction to establish by resolution an appropriations limit for each fiscal year at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting.
B. Proposition 111 was passed by California voters on June 5, 1990, and sets forth the options for making annual adjustments to the appropriations limit based on various growth factors. The annual inflation factor may be either the growth in California per capita income or growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City; and the population factor may reflect the population growth either in the City or in the County of Los Angeles.
C. The City calculated its appropriations limit based on the non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction within the City as its annual inflation factor and the City’s population growth as its annual population growth factor for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
D. In accordance with Government Code Section 7910, documentation used in the determination of the appropriations limit has been made available for inspection by the public at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing.
