CITY OF WOODBURN
Marion County, Oregon
May 19, 1981
Submitted to the Voters by the Common Council
MEASURE N0. 52
Ballot "B" Authorization to levy property taxes for existing City
bus service.
QUESTIO`d: Sha11 City establish the existing bus system as a tax
supported service and authorize a $49,112 tax levy for
1981- 82 .
PURPOSE: The City Council is proposing this measure to the
voters to see if they are willing to support the current
bus system by authorizing it as a tax support service,
and proposing a $49,112 tax levy to support the same
level of service as now provided by grants, Federal
Revenue Sharing and Ceta Funds.
EXPLANATION: The City bus service started in Apri], 1978 with funding
from State and Federal grants. The bus has continued to
operate with the aid of these grants, and transfers from
Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, up to and through this
fiscal year without any local tax support. However, most
of the operating grants will expire this year. The City
has applied for a grant to purchase anew bus for the
system. The current bus will be held for backup puraoses.
Therefore, with the expiration of most of the State and
Federal aid, the bus program is on the ballot for the
voters to decide if they want to support it with property
taxes and authorize a $49,112 tax levy for 1981-82. It
is estimated that the $49,112 levy would be $ .Z1 per
$1,000 of assessed value. If this measure is approved
$49,112 of taxes levied will be totally financed by the
local tax payer without any partial state payment.
