county expenditure
limitation; population estimate
SCR 1007 increases the average daily border-crossing factor from one-fourth to one-half in order to determine a county’s alternative population estimate for purposes of calculating a border county’s expenditure limitation.
The Arizona Constitution requires the EEC to determine each year the expenditure limit for the following fiscal year for each county, community college district, city, and town. The Constitution requires that the limitation be calculated based upon the actual payments of local revenues of FY 1979-1980, referred to as the base limit. Each year, the base limits for local jurisdictions are adjusted for population and inflation to reach the expenditure limit. The inflation index used by the EEC is the Gross Domestic Product [GDP] price deflator, which is based on FY 1979-1980 as set forth in the Arizona Constitution.
Laws 1997, HCR 2013, established an alternative population estimate for counties with less than 200,000 persons that share a border with Mexico to include one-quarter of the daily average number of persons lawfully crossing the international border into the county. The number of persons crossing the border is determined by statistics compiled by U.S. Customs Service and is added to the estimated population determined by the Department of Economic Security to compute the county’s alternative population estimate.
