Special Municipal Election

TO ESTABLISH A NEW CITY TAX BASE
QUESTION: Shall the City of Woodburn be authorized a $1,683,130 tax base
beginning with fiscal year 1993-94?
SUMMARY: This measure will establish a new city tax base of $1,683,130 replacing
the current tax base of $185,919, which was established in approximately 1916.
City functions funded entirely or in part by the proposed tax base include Police
services, 9-1-1 Emergency Communications, RSVP program, Transit System,
Municipal Court, Finance and Administration, Code Enforcement, and other support
activities. Because of continuing population growth in Woodburn during recent years,
demand for city services is at an all-time high. A new tax base would give the City
a degree of stability in meeting these demands.
The proposed tax base would allow the City to maintain its relative share of the $10
per $1,000 nonschool taxes available under Ballot Measure 5 limitations.
This tax levy is subject to the limits of section 11 b, Article XI of the Oregon
Constitution and the revenues to be raised will be used exclusively by the city for
other governmental purposes. Within these limits, approval of this measure would
reduce the property tax collections of other nonschool district units under the
provisions of section 11 b, Article XI, Oregon Constitution and implementing
legislation.
