Set legal spending limit for 2013-14 city budget
In Plain English
California law requires cities to calculate a maximum amount they can spend each year based on population and inflation. The city must formally adopt this limit before finalizing its annual budget. This procedural step ensures Richmond complies with state constitutional requirements for fiscal oversight.

Why This Vote Matters
Richmond set its legal spending limit for the 2013-14 budget year, as required by California's constitution. The council approved the appropriations limit with broad support in a 5-1 vote, with Councilmember Bates dissenting and Councilmember Boozé abstaining. This is a routine procedural step that cities must complete before finalizing their annual budgets. The vote represents an unusual departure for Boozé, who typically votes yes on budget matters.
