2020-2021 Gann Appropriations Limit

The President/Superintendent recommends that a public hearing be held on June 2, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. regarding the appropriations limit in accordance with the Gann Appropriations Limit legislation. 

Proposition 4, the Gann Appropriations Limit legislation, was passed by the voters of the State in November 1979. The implementing legislation (SB 1352) was subsequently passed by the legislature: “7910 - Each year the governing body of each local jurisdiction shall, by resolution, establish its appropriations limit for the following fiscal year pursuant to Article XIII B at a regularly scheduled meeting or noticed special meeting. Fifteen days prior to such meeting, documentation used in the determination of the appropriations limit shall be available to the public. The determination of the appropriations limit is a legislative act.” The administration will provide the appropriations limit to the board.

The Chancellor’s Office published the Gann Limit Worksheet for 2020-2021 on May 11, 2020. Therefore, in order to meet the timeframe stipulated in BP 7915 the Administration will publish the Gann Limit Worksheet in local newspapers and on the main page of the District's website on May 13, 2020.
