of the City of Petaluma, California
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-2022 AND
MAKING THE ANNUAL ELECTION FOR ADJUSTMENT FACTORS
WHEREAS, the people of California on November 6, 1979, added Article XIII-B to the California State
Constitution placing various limitations on the appropriations of State and local governments; and
WHEREAS, the California State Legislature adopted Chapters 1205 and 1342 of the 1980 Statutes which
implemented Article XIII-B; and
WHEREAS, the people of California on June 5, 1990 amended Article XIII-B effective on July 1, 1990; and
WHEREAS, the provisions of the amendments have been interpreted by a coalition of statewide
organizations, and the organizations have issued through the League of California Cities revised guidelines to
calculate the appropriations limit; and
WHEREAS, section 7910 of the Government Code requires cities to adopt a resolution setting the annual
appropriations limit at a regularly scheduled meeting or a noticed special meeting; and
WHEREAS, adopting the appropriations limit for the fiscal year and making the annual election for
adjustment factors is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in
accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, as adopting the appropriations limit does not meet CEQA's
definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical
change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, it is a fiscal
activity which does not involve commitment to any specific project, and because the action constitutes
organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes
in the environment.

1. The above recitals are declared to be true and correct and are incorporated into this resolution as findings of
the City Council.

“project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the
environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, it is a fiscal activity
which does not involve commitment to any specific project, and because the action constitutes organizational
or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
