AUTHORIZATION FOR ONE-YEAR OPERATING LEVY
Question:
Shall the City of Woodburn levy $1,577,413 outside
the tax base to finanee City operations durinq
fiseal year 1994-951
Explanation: The passage of this measure will provide a one-year
operating levy above the 1994-95 tax base of $209,060. pOlice,
9-1-1, Transit and Dial-A-Ride, RSVP, code enforcement, municipal
court, finance and administration, and other support activities
within the General and Transit Funds are funded entirely or in part
by the proposed operating levy.
Approval of this measure would provide the city with its pro-rata
share of the $10 per $1,000 assessed valuation composite rate,
excluding bonded debt, as established within the property tax
limitation measure (Ballot Measure 5).
The proposed operating levy will continue existing city services in
F.Y. 1994-95. 3.5 full-time equivalent employees will be added to
maintain police services, including two certified police officer
positions, partially funded by federal grant. Dial-A-Ride
availability will be increased and additional library/city hall
parking constructed.
This tax levy is subject to the limits of Section llb, 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 llb, Article
XI, oregon Constitution and implementing legislation.
