This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, John Jermanis, Finance Director, said under California Law the City Council must establish a spending limit every year based on the funds appropriated in 1986/87 and based upon formulas related to those funds. He said because of revenue cutbacks in recent years, the city's expenditures of $16.3 million are well under the spending limitation of approximately $22 million. He said, however, a public hearing is required on this matter. In response to a Council question, he said trailer coach license fees which used to come to the City have been taken away by the State and are no longer available. The Hearing was then opened to the public. There being no comments from the public, on motion by Council Member Galvan, seconded by Council Member Loeffler, and carried unanimously, the Public Hearing was closed. The following Resolution was then introduced: Resolution No. 94-132, Resolution Establishing Appropriation Limit, Fiscal Year 1994-95 (establishes the City's spending limit for the 1994-95 budget, as required by State law) .
