NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER:
Section 1: That it is hereby found and determined that the documentation used in the
determination of the appropriations limit for the Orange County Sanitation District, for fiscal year

(15) days prior to this date.
Section 2: That the appropriations limit for fiscal year 2011-12 for the Orange County
Sanitation District, as established in accordance with Section 7902(b) of the California
Government Code is $81,888,000 which sum is within the maximum authorized spending
limitation for fiscal year 2011-12.
Section 3: That the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District, has
determined that the percent change in California per capita personal income from the preceding

most complete information available at this time. The District reserves the right to review and re-
establish a new and different limit in the event that it subsequently determines that a modification
of the limitation amount is appropriate.
