Exhibit A SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
CITY OF WOODBURN
Marion County, Oregon
February 17, 1981
Submitted to the Voters by the Common Council
Measure No. 51
BALLOT "A" AUTHORIZATION FOR TAX LEVY FOR WOODBURN
QUESTION: Shall City of Woodburn be authorized to levy $429,757.00 outside
the tax base to partially finance city operations during 1981-82?
PURPOSE: The tax base for 1981-82 would fund less than 7% of the general
fund budget for the current year. With inflation, the percentage would be
even less for 1981-82. The purpose of this tax measure is to
provide funds above the City's tax base. The present tax base
is $96,780.00.
EXPLANATION: This is one'of two tax levy measures before you today. The
reason for this two -measure ballot is the State law creating the "A" and
"B" ballot measures.
The amounts requested by this measure, known as ballot "A", and the following
measure, known as ballot "B" represent the total taxes required for the
City's general fund budget over and above the current tax base.
The total requested amount in this measure is for Police and Fire services,
administrative costs,Municipal Court, City Attorney and prosecutor, City
Hail maintenance, operation of Street Lights, Dial -a -Ride and R.S.V.P.
matching funds.
Ballot "A" represents only a portion of the taxes required for the City's
general fund. The $429,757.00 tax levy on thin measure will finance
approximately 26/ of the total General Fund operations, and nothing else.
If this measure is approved, $429,757.00 of the taxes levied will be financed
partially by the State of Oregon.

Exhibit B SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION
CITY OF WOODBURN
Marion County, Oregon
February 17, 1981
Submitted to the Voters by the Common Council
Measure No. 52
BALLOT "B" -- AUTHORIZATION FOR TAX LEVY FOR WOODBURN
QUESTION: Shall City of Woodburn be authorized to levy $526,947.00 outside
the tax base to partially finance City services during 1981-82?
PURPOSE The purpose of this measure is to provide the additional monies
along with the amount in the "A" ballot to balance the 1981-82
proposed budget.
EXPLANATION: This is the second of the two tax levy measures to be known
as the "B" ballot. This measure, in conjunction with ballot "A", is necessary
to balance the proposed budget. The money in this measure will provide only
for the continuation of present City services. It is estimated that the
overall tax rate per $1,000 assessed valuation ($7.43) will remain the
same as fiscal year 1980-81.
The amount necessary to balance the General fund, in addition to that requested
in Ballot "A", is $526,947.00.
The reasons for increase in this year's levy are the projected inflation
rate of at least 11% and the need to fund the street light system which was,
until this year, funded by a special levy.
If this measure is approved, $526,947.00 of taxes levied will be totally
financed by the local taxpayers without any partial State payment.
