EXPLANATION: This measure amends the Woodburn City Charter to eliminate the Library and Recreation and Parks Serial Levies. It replaces these Serial Levies and an outdated City tax base with a new single tax base of $2,350,000. The current tax base was originated in about 1916 and has increased per statutory provisions to $147,086. This tax base has not been considered adequate since excess levies have been necessary for most years since its inception. In 1946 and 1948, Serial Levies were approved for the Library and Recreation and Parks. The current annual operating levy for the General and Transit funds expires June 30, 1989. By eliminating the special earmarked Serial Levies, funds may be allocated as needed to all property tax supported services, such as police, library, parks, court, administration, and transit under one combined budget philosophy.
