Board Adopts Resolution Setting Gann Appropriation Limits for 2024–25 and 2025–26
Summary
Trustees approved Governing Board Resolution 25-26-03 establishing annual appropriation (Gann) limits for 2024–25 and 2025–26 in a roll-call vote, and staff explained the limits' role in capping tax-funded spending growth.
The board approved Governing Board Resolution 25-26-03, which sets the annual appropriation limits (commonly called Gann limits) for the district for 2024–25 and 2025–26.
Staff explained that Gann limits set a ceiling on tax-funded spending growth tied to inflation and population; if tax revenue exceeds the limit, the excess must be returned to taxpayers or used only for constitutionally required spending. The presenter used a brief anecdote to illustrate the concept and fielded trustee questions.
The item was approved in a roll-call vote with all five trustees voting "Aye." The board recorded the names on the roll call as part of the vote.
