Impartial Analysis from the County Counsel

The California Constitution restricts governmental spending by setting an annual appropriations limit, which is the maximum amount a public entity may spend in a given fiscal year. The Constitution authorizes a public entity to continue or change its appropriations limit upon approval of a majority of voters voting on the measure. Voters may authorize an appropriations limit for up to four years at a time.

Voters of the Discovery Bay Community Services District previously authorized an appropriations limit of $715,000, effective through fiscal year 2007-2008. This measure would allow the Discovery Bay Community Services District to maintain its current appropriations limit of $715,000 in the area described in the measure as Lighting and Landscaping Zone No. 8. The appropriations limit would be adjusted annually for changes in cost of living and population. The appropriations limit authorized by this measure would be effective from fiscal year 2008-2009 through fiscal year 2011-2012.

This measure does not seek voter approval to impose any new or additional tax.

A "yes" vote is a vote in favor of maintaining the current appropriations limit for the stated fiscal years (2008-2009 through 2011-2012).

A "no" vote is a vote against maintaining the appropriations limit for the stated fiscal years.
