Shall the appropriations (spending) limit for the Blanchard Community Library remain at $350,000 above the Gann limit from July 1, 2014 through the date of June 30, 2018, as was previously approved by the voters at the ballot on November 4, 2008.

Impartial Analysis from County Counsel
Pursuant to the provisions of section 4 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, the electors of a governmental entity can increase the entity's appropriations (spending) limit, also known as a Gann limit, for up to four years. The appropriations limit for a local governmental entity, such as the Blanchard/Santa Paula Public Library District ("Blanchard Community Library"), is the amount of revenue that it may spend during each fiscal year from the proceeds of taxes and/or the proceeds of state subventions.

If a majority of those voting on the ballot measure vote "yes," the appropriations limit for the Blanchard Community Library will be set to $350,000 above the Gann limit from July 1, 2014, through the date of June 30, 2018. The limit was originally approved by the voters at the ballot on June 3, 1994, and has been approved periodically thereafter.

The ballot measure, if successful, will neither raise taxes nor authorize the raising of taxes.
