Davis, III, Chief Administrative Officer -~:~,,~ BY: Autra C. Adams, Project Manager SUBJECT:. Local Government Finance -Property Tax Revenue Allocation PURPOSE: To have the President & Members of the Lynwood Public Finance Authority receive and file this item. { BACKGROUND: In the recession of the early 1990's, the Legislature shifted property taxes from cities, counties, and special districts'to schools. This hift has not been beneficial to schools because the, legislation allowed the state to reduce its support of schools on 'a dollar-for- dollarbasis. Existing law shifts property taxes from cities, counties, and special districts to an Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) in each county. The shift has reduced revenue available to cities, counties, and special districts, while having no impact on schools, and increasing the funds available to the State of California to meet other obligations. ANALYSIS: Last year SB 1637 (Burton), intended to cap the shift of property tax revenues from counties to ERAF over athree-year.period, unanimously passed both houses of the legislature and was vetoed by Governor Davis. In his veto message eight months ago, the governor made a commitment to work with cities and counties to solve this problem but to date has shown minimal effort. ACA 10 (Cogdill) This legislation has been introduced as an Assembly Constitutional Amendment. The reason was because by this legislation passing both houses with a 2/3 vote, voters are allowed to ratify this decision opposed to the governor. ACA 10 amends the State Constitution to cap the property tax shifts from cities, counties, and special districts~to the ERAF. This cap is limited to the amount equal to the shift in FY 2000-2001. In addition, this legislation includes language that ensures there is not a net fiscal effect on school finance. ACA 10 provides a gradual 10-year period for ERAF revenues to be restored, in order to allow the state time to properly plan for and make needed budget adjustments. The next committee hearing for ACA 10 will take place on June 19, 2001 in the Assembly Elections, Reapportionment, and Constitutional Amendment Committee. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests that the President & Members of the Lynwood Public Finance Authority receive and file this item. ATTACHMENT ~G~NUA I!I~EI~ ALA 1 U Assembly C:onst~tutional Amendment - AIVir.Nll1/ll Yage 1 or S BILL NUMBER: ACA 10 AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MAY 15, 2001 .INTRODUCED BY Assembly. Member Cogdill (Coauthors: Assembly Members Correa, Daucher, Diaz, Harman, LaSuer, Lowenthal, NegreteMcLeod, Salinas, and Wiggins) MARCH;29, 2001 Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 10--A resolution to propose to the people of the State of'California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by~adding Section 1.5 to Article XIIIA thereof, relating to local government finance. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S'DIGEST ACA 10, as amended, Cogdill. Local government finance: property tax revenue allocation: local agency relief. • Existing provisions of the~California Constitution require that the revenues derived .from the general ad valorem property tax be allocated to local jurisdictions in each county in accordance with law. Existing statutory law implementing these provisions requires each county auditor, in each fiscal year, to allocate property tax revenues to local jurisdictions in accordance with specified formulas and procedures, and generallyjrequires that each jurisdiction be allocated an amount equal to the. total of the amount of revenue allocated to that jurisdiction in the prior fiscal year, subject to certain modifications, and that jurisdiction's portion of the annual tax increment, as defined. Existing statutory law reduces the amounts of ad valorem property revenue that would otherwise be annually allocated to the county, cities, and special districts pursuant to these general allocation provisions by requiring, for purposes of determining property tax revenue allocations in each county for the 1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years, that the amounts of property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to the county, cities, and special districts be reduced in accordance with certain formulas. Existing law annually requires that the revenues not allocated to the county, cities, and special districts as a .result of these reductions betransferred to the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in that county for allocation to school districts, community college districts, and the county office of education. Thin measure-would modify these reduction and transfer requirements, for the 2002-03 `fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, by prohibiting the total amount allocated_to a county's Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund from exceeding the applicable percentage, set forth in .a specified schedule, of the total amount allocated to that fund for the 2000-01 fiscal year. This measure would further require that the revenues not allocated to the county's Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund as a result of these limits be instead allocated among the local agencies in the county, as provided, and that the decrease in allocations to a county's • Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund resulting from those limitations be first applied to reduce allocations from that fund to • school districts and the county office of education. This measure would also specify that the amount of moneys required by the California Constitution to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community; college districts be determined in that amount that would be determined pursuant to that provision in http://info.sen.ca.gov/publbilUasm/ab 0001-0050/aca 10 bill_20010515_amended_asm.html 5/29/01 A(.:A.10 Assembly (;onstitutional Amendment - AIV1r;Nll~ll the absence of this measure. j Vote: 2/3.
