e. Adoption of Resolution 2013/14-09, GANN Limits (pg 44)
Proposition 4 enacted in 1979 was intended to constrain the growth in state and local government spending to be no faster than the growth in population and inflation. This became known as Gann Appropriation Limits or simply, Gann Limit. Not all revenue sources count against the District's Gann Limit. Gann Limits only constrain the appropriations from state and local tax sources, and federal aid is excluded. Per Article XIII B of the State Constitution, the limits apply to the State of California, counties, cities, special districts, school districts and county offices of education. The essence of the limit is that school district appropriations, which are subject to limitations in each year, cannot exceed a computed appropriation. The resolution certifies the recalculated actual Gann Limit for 2012-13 and the estimated Gann Limit for 2013- 14.
