Measure No. 51
ADOPTION OF NEW TAX BASE
QUESTION: Shall a new tax base of $1,061,020.00 be established
for the City of Woodburn effective in fiscal year
1987-88?
EXPLANATION: This request for a new tax base would replace the
current tax base of $130,863. The new tax base would maintain
taxes needed for next year at the same dollar amount as this
year with no increases, not even for inflation or growth in the
1987-88 fiscal year.
A tax base represents the amount of tax money needed to support
general operations without a special levy election for such
purposes. A tax base provides a level of funding reflective of
the community's desire for consistency and stability in the
ability to provide municipal services.
The new tax base will provide financial stability to the General,
Street Light, and Transit Funds to support the continuation of
present services to the citizens of Woodburn. These services
include Public Safety, RSVP, Dial-a-Ride, Municipal Court,
Administration, Street Lights, and Bus service.
