  • 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.

  • Arizona 2010 Legislative Report
    ARIZONA 2010 LEGISLATIVE REPORT Despite limited victories for animal protection, the 2010 Arizona Legislative session was one of the most challenging in memory. Lawmakers were as usual, intent on passing bad bills aimed at wildlife and habitat protection and citizens’ voting rights. This year voting rights dodged some bullets, but wildlife protection took major hits, and in one case brought an attack on voting rights along for the ride. And despite public outcry the governor signed several of these destructive measures into law. The Good Bills Animals and Domestic Violence Despite the rift among legislators, they passed a comprehensive bill that protects animals and humans as victims in domestic violence cases. Bills were introduced addressing animal protection in domestic violence situations including SB 1086 (L. Gray, Paton, Barto) which adds animal cruelty to the definition of domestic violence, and SB 1085 (L. Gray, Aboud, Paton, Barto, Young Wright) which allows a court issuing an order of protection to grant the petitioner exclusive custody of an animal and order the respondent to stay away from the animal, and forbids them from taking, harming or otherwise disposing of the animal. Both bills passed the Senate, but appeared unlikely to receive a final House vote. However on the last day of the session the language from the two bills was strategically incorporated into another bill, SB 1266, through floor amendments sponsored by Representatives Barto and Crandall. The amended bill passed unanimously and was signed by the governor. Statewide Ban on Public Sale of Animals A bill to extend the ban on the public animal sales statewide did not receive a final House vote as the result of a rift between legislative leaders over an unrelated measure.
