Set legal spending limit for city budget year 2015-16
In Plain English
California law requires cities to set a maximum spending limit each year based on population and inflation. The city must formally approve this limit before adopting its annual budget. This procedural step ensures Richmond complies with state constitutional requirements for municipal spending controls.
