COUNTY AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Operate in a Fiscally-Responsible and Business-Like Manner.
Ensure Development of a Well-Planned, Balanced, and Sustainable County.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of the item will not result in the use of additional Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). This action will provide appropriation authority needed by San Bernardino County and Board-governed agencies to continue to operate at normal levels. The limits will not increase the 2020-21 budgets for the respective entities.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Limits on the appropriations of the proceeds of tax revenues are required to be established annually by Article XIII B of the California Constitution for all agencies receiving tax proceeds. Proposition 111, approved by the voters on June 6, 1990, allows governmental entities to use an alternative computation to determine the appropriations limits when such calculations are of benefit to the entity. These factors include the percentage change in per-capita personal income and the change in non-residential new construction.
The appropriations limit for each entity on Attachment “A” is calculated using the most beneficial cost of living factor currently available and reflect an overall increase of 4.29% from fiscal year 2019-20. At this time, only the percentage change in per-capita personal income is available. Upon receipt of the change in non-residential new construction factor, the appropriations limit of each entity will be recalculated to determine if using the new factor is more beneficial and warrants a change to the annual appropriations limits of the various entities of the County. If adopting a revised limit is required for any of these entities, the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector will request approval of the amended appropriations limits by the appropriate governing body on a separate board agenda item at that time.
