CITIES GROW IN LINE WITH STATE TREND BURBANK, GLENDALE UP 1.5%.Byline: Sylvia L. Oliande Staff Writer BURBANK - The city of Burbank and the city of Glendale both grew by about 1.5 percent in 1999, a growth pattern on par with municipalities across the state, city officials said Tuesday. While the state Department of Finance wasn't releasing its latest population figures to the public until today, city officials received word earlier. As of Jan. 1, Burbank had a total of 106,480 residents, compared with 104,842 the previous Jan. 1, for a 1.56 percent increase. Similarly, Glendale - the third-largest city in Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. County - grew by 1.46 percent to a total of 203,734 people. Derek Hanway, Burbank's financial service director, said the population increase was a normal shift for the city. While some other cities tend to report larger increases annually, Burbank has remained steady in the past few years, with population jumps of 1 percent to 1.5 percent. ``The city is basically a built-out city so it's different than those that are outlying out·ly·ing adj. Relatively distant or remote from a center or middle: outlying regions. outlying Adjective far away from the main area Adj. 1. and have more room for (new) housing,'' he said. The study helps the Department of Finance determine several revenue streams, including allocation The apportionment or designation of an item for a specific purpose or to a particular place. In the law of trusts, the allocation of cash dividends earned by a stock that makes up the principal of a trust for a beneficiary usually means that the dividends will be treated as of Department of Motor Vehicle fees, gas tax money, and grants for some law enforcement programs and equipment. How this year's increase will affect Burbank and Glendale is unclear, although state officials said their funding is not likely to change substantially. Sandy Harrison, spokesman for the Department of Finance, said a 1.5 percent growth is consistent with the trend this year throughout the state. ``This is for a slice of the pie so if they're increasing at a faster rate than other areas, they'll get a larger share,'' Harrison said.
