RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2016/435 calling for an appropriations limit increase election on November 8, 2016 for County Service Area (CSA) R-7A, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Alamo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% CSA R-7A Funds

BACKGROUND:

When the Gann Initiative (Proposition 4) became effective in 1979, it imposed a limit on the future expenditures of service issues. However, voter approved overrides allow for an increase in appropriation limits. CSA R-7A's override expired in Fiscal Year 2013/14. Based on historical information, without current override, the District would exceed its Fiscal Year 2015/16 appropriation limit. An override for Fiscal Years 2015/16 through 2018/19 (inclusive) will likely be required to cover any projected excess revenue in each of these fiscal years. It is recommended that the override be increased to $1,650,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Alamo community will not have access to the entire limit of funding from CSA R-7A without voter approval for increasing the appropriations limit.
