  • Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Expenditure Limitation Report
    Regular Meeting Agenda Item 7B February 16, 2021 Action Item Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Expenditure Limitation Report Recommendation: Approve adoption of the audited Expenditure Limitation Report for fiscal year 2019-20. Summary: In 1980, Arizona voters approved Arizona Constitution, Article IX, §20, prescribing an expenditure limitation for political subdivisions. The expenditure limitation’s purpose initially was intended to control expenditures of local revenues and limit future increases in spending to adjustments for inflation and population growth. For the College, the population growth is student enrollment known as Full Time Student Equivalents (FTSE). The Constitution required the Economic Estimates Commission (Commission) to establish a base limit from actual expenditures of “local” revenues for fiscal year 1980. Each year, the Commission calculates the constitutional expenditure limitation based on a complex formula accounting for inflation and estimated FTSE. The annual budgeted expenditure limitation report (ABELR) is presented as prescribed by the uniform expenditure reporting system (UERS), as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) §41-1279.07. The ABELR excludes expenditures of certain revenues specified in the Arizona Constitution, Article IX, §21, and A.R.S. §§15-792.03, 15-795.01, 15-1444, and 15-1472, as applicable, from the total budgeted expenditures. The information reported in both the ABELR and the financial statements is derived from the same underlying accounting data. However, the formats of the ABELR and the financial statements differ. The ABELR presents budgeted expenditures, exclusions, and amounts subject to the limitation by fund type as required by A.R.S. §41-1279.07. The financial statements present the net position, changes in net position, and cash flows in accordance with U.S.

    Press Release Arizona State Legislature Senate President Karen Fann (R-1) House Speaker Russell Bowers (R-25) 1700 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85007-2844 Friday, December 4, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Legislative Leaders call for audit of Maricopa County election software and equipment (Phoenix, State Capitol) --- Senate President Karen Fann and Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers today called for an independent audit of the Dominion software and equipment used by Maricopa County in the 2020 General Election. The two leaders, along with incoming Senate Government Chair Michelle Ugenti-Rita and House Majority Leader Warren Petersen, had numerous phone calls with members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. "As a longtime advocate for improving and modernizing our election system, I am pleased to learn that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is supportive of conducting an independent audit of their voting software and equipment," said Sen. Ugenti-Rita. "It is important we maintain all of the voting public's confidence in our elections and this is a positive first step in the right direction." "A significant number of voters believe that fraud occurred and with the number of irregularities it is easy to understand why," said House Majority Leader Petersen. "Especially concerning are the allegations made surrounding the vendor Dominion. It is imperative that the County immediately do a forensic audit on the Dominion software and equipment to make sure the results were accurate." Legislators also emphasized to the supervisors how important it is to move expeditiously on this matter. ### CONTACT: Mike Philipsen Andrew Wilder Director of Communications Director of Communications Senate Majority Staff House Majority Staff 602-926-3972 602-926-5299 [email protected] [email protected] .
