Exhibit "A"
TO ESTABLISH A NEW CITY TAX BASE
Question:
Shall the City of Woodburn be authorized a $1,577,420 tax base beginning with the
1992-93 Fiscal Year?
Exolanation:
This measure will establish a new city tax base of $1,577,420, replacing the
current tax base of $175,391, which was established in approximately 1916.
The proposed new tax base represents a 3.3% increase ($50,367) over the
combined total of the current tax base and the voter-approved 1991-92 one-year
operating levy of $1,351,662. It maintains the city's relative share of $10 per
$1,000 nonschool taxes available under Ballot Measure 5 limitations,
City functions funded entirely or in part by the proposed tax base include police
services, finance and administration, municipal court, transit system, RSVP program,
9-1-1, 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,
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 of government
available under the provisions of section 11 b, Article XI, Oregon Constitution and
implementing legislation.
