Board adopts county and CSA appropriation limits

The Alpine County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt two appropriation-limit resolutions for FY 26–27 as part of the budget hearing. Klaus Leidenbauer, director of finance, summarized the calculation required under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and noted the county's calculated increase in appropriations subject to the limit.

The first resolution sets the county operating appropriation limit at $9,918,806,145. The second resolution sets the limit for County Service Area Number 1 at $807,128. Each resolution was moved by a supervisor, seconded and carried unanimously with no public comment. Staff said the calculations and supporting materials were posted to the county website to meet the 15-day notification requirement cited in the report to the board.
