"EXHIBIT A"
MUNICIPAL ELECTION FOR THE CITY OF WOODBURN, OREGON
MAY 20, 1980
MEASURE #51
Ballot Title: "Establishing a New Tax Base"
QUESTION: Shall anew tax base of $994,871.00 be established for the
City of Eti~oodburn effective in the 1980-81 fiscal year?
PURPOSE: This request for voter approval of a tax base of $994,871.00
would replace the current tax base of $91,302.00. The Oregon
Constitution, Article XI, Section 11, requires voter approval
of anew tax base. A six percent increase is allowed each
year without voter approval. The new tax base would become
effective fiscal year 1980-81 and seeks to more appropriately
meet the needs of the City's operations and maximize State
contributions to owner-occupied residences.
EXPLANATION: The current tax base is $91,302.00. Next year, this amount may
be increased by six percent without voter approval allowed
under the Oregon Constitution. Any additional requirement
must have voter approval. The proposed tax base of $994,871.00
would become effective fiscal year 1980-81. When levied, the
tax base amount will be partially financed by the State.
Property tax revenues are required to provide basic services
to residents of the City. Those services include Police,
Fire, Dial-a-Ride, RSVP, Court, City Attorney's office,
Finance/Recorder's office, Administrative services, City
Hall maintenance, insurance, auditing, and legal publications.
Receipts estimated to be received from court fines, Federal
Revenue Sharing, delinquent taxes, etc., represents approximately
46% of the total revenues needed for the proposed budget. The
remaining 64% to be financed by property taxes.
The State will pay up to 30% of the tax base as authorized
under the property tax relief program.
