plus adjustments for cost of living and population changes, and specific exceptions for service
charges, federal and state grants, reserve funds, etc.; and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature adopted Government Code Section 7900,
implementing Article XIII B of the California Constitution, and Proposition 111, adopted in June
1990, which provided new adjustment formulas; and

erroneous inclusion of Measure I revenues as an adjustment/increase to the limit; and
