Adoption of the subject resolution <br />is necessary for compliance with the California Constitution for the fiscal year ending <br />June 30, 2025. <br />Furthermore, Section 13-90 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code requires the creation of a <br />Reserve Fund for Excess Proceeds of Taxes (Reserve Fund), as a separate accounting <br />of taxes received in a fiscal year prior to the period of expenditure. The City <br />appropriates the expenditure of tax revenue in the same fiscal year of receipt, and <br />therefore creation of the Reserve Fund is not necessary for the fiscal year 2024-25. In <br />fiscal year 2022-23, the Proceeds of Taxes were $323,170,905 and the actual General <br />Fund expenditures were $374,898,249. <br />Using the formula provided by the state, staff calculated the spending limitation from <br />"Proceeds of Taxes" as $1,427,985,554 (Exhibit 1) for fiscal year 2024-25, which is the <br />FY 2022-23 limit increased by 3.94%. The funds constrained by the appropriations limit <br />include the General Fund, the Capital Outlay Fund, and Special Revenue Funds. <br />
