RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2020/168 calling for an appropriations limit increase election on November 3, 2020, for County Service Area (CSA) R-7, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Alamo area. (District II)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% CSA R-7 Funds. Project No. 7758-6X5184.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

BACKGROUND:

When the Gann Initiative (Proposition 4) became effective in 1979, it imposed a limit on the future expenditures for service areas. However, voter-approved overrides allow for increases in appropriation limits. CSA R-7’s override expired in Fiscal Year 2018/19. Based on historical financial information, without the current override, the District would exceed its Fiscal Year 2019/20 appropriation limit. An override for Fiscal Years 2019/20 through 2023/2024 (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 $1,750,000.
