The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines and declares as follows: A.

B. In June of 1990, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 111 which amended Article XIII B to establish the limit originally calculated for fiscal year 1986 -87 as a new adjustment base and to change the definition of the cost of living to be either the percentage change in California per capita personal income from the preceding year or the percentage change in the local assessment roll from the preceding year for the jurisdiction due to the addition of local non - residential new construction. C. Proposition 111 further modified Article XIII B requirements by making certain capital outlay, debt service, emergency and court ordered expenditures not subject to the limit and by allowing expenditures in excess of one year's limit to be offset by under expenditures in an immediately following year. D. The City of Santa Ana has opted to use as the inflation adjustment factor, the percentage change in the California per capita personal income from the preceding year. E. The City of Santa Ana has opted to use as the population adjustment factor, the County's percentage change in population from the preceding year. Resolution No. 2014 -040 Page 1 of 3
