Adoption of the subject resolution is necessary for compliance with these provisions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008. As detailed in the exhibits to the subject resolution, the City's spending limitations from "Proceeds of Taxes" is calculated to be $734,815,099 (Exhibit A) for FY 2007-08. This represents the permitted growth rate factor of 21.8432 times the adjusted base year (1978-1978) appropriation limit of $33,640,451. Exhibit B identifies the factors used to determine the allowable increase; Exhibit C categorizes FY 2007-08 anticipated revenues from "Proceeds of Taxes" and "Non-Proceeds of Taxes"; and Exhibit D computes the fiscal year 2007-2008 appropriations subject to this limitation and identifies the difference between the limit and the budgeted appropriation. As demonstrated in Exhibit D the City's anticipated FY 2007- 08 "Proceeds of Taxes" revenue will be $600,037,457 below the allowable limit.
