A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA ESTABLISHING THE APPROPRIATION LIMIT
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026
2027
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines,
and declares as follows:
A. Article XIIIB of the Constitution of the State of California, adopted by the voters
of the State of California in 1979, imposes upon State and local government
the obligation to limit each fiscal year's appropriations to those established in
fiscal year 1978-79 as adjusted for by inflation and population, together with
other specified changes required or permitted.
B. In June of 1990, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 111,
which amended Article XIIIB 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 XIIIB 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.
F. Section 7910 of the Government Code of the State of California requires the
governing body of each local jurisdiction each year to, by resolution, establish
its appropriations limit and make other necessary determinations for the
following fiscal year pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California Constitution at a
regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting. Fifteen days prior to
the meeting, documentation used in the determination of the appropriations
limit and other necessary determinations shall be available to the public.

year 2026-2027 in accordance with said provisions of the Constitution and laws
of the State of California, and the documentation used in the determination has

accompanying Request for Council Action and its attachments, and each of them, the
