Measure No. 51
AUTHORIZATION FOR ONE-YEAR OPERATING LEVY
QUESTION: Shall City of Woodburn levy $822,185 outside the tax base
to finance city operations during 1985-86?
EXPLANATION: The City's tax base for 1985-86 is $123,456, therefore,
it is necessary to request a one-year tax levy to provide for continuation
of city services in the General Fund, Street Light Fund, .and Transit Fund.
A summary of taxes requested in this measure is as follows:
General Fund $673,769
Street Light Fund 96,230
Transit Fund 52,186
$822,185
The General Fund provides funding for Police and Emergency Dispatch services,
Senior Programs, Municipal Court, City Attorney's Office, Administration,
and City Hall maintenance. The level of services within the General Fund,
except for the Finance Department which is budgeted for at a reduced level,
are the same as provided to the community during the current fiscal year.
This measure will also provide for street light operational costs and the
continuation of six-day bus service within the community.
