A RESOLUTION OF the Board of Directors of Mount Baker School
District No. 507, Whatcom County, Washington, providing for
the submission to the qualified electors of the district at
a special election to be held therein on March 8, 1977, of a
proposition authorizing the levy of an excess tax of approx-
imately 3.80 per $1,000 of assessed value (1000 of true and
fair value unless specifically otherwise provided by law) to
raise the sum of $570,000 for the district General
Fund.
WHEREAS, the money to be paid into the General Fund of the district
will be insufficient during the school year 1977-78 to enable the
district to operate properly and to take care of all financial
obligations, it is deemed necessary in order to prevent the impairment
of the district's contracts that the district levy a tax of
$570.000
or approximately 3.80 per $1,000 of assessed
value (1000 of true and fair value unless specifically otherwise
provided by law) upon all taxable property within the district in
1977 for collection in 1978 in excess of the annual tax levy limitation
the district is permitted by law to levy without a vote of the people,
AND WHEREAS, the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington
provide that the question of whether or not such excess tax may be
levied for such purposes must be submitted to the qualified voters
of the district for their approval or rejection;

required to secure proper textbooks, instructional supplies and
teaching materials, to make necessary repairs and replacements to
school district facilities, to pay adequate salaries, to prevent the

properly carry on the functions of the schools within the district,
the district authorizes the County Commisioners of Whatcom County
to levy a tax of approximately 3.80 per $1,000 of assessed value
(100o true and fair value unless specifically otherwise provided by
law) upon all taxable property within the district in 1977 for
collection in 1978 in excess of the annual tax levy permitted the
district without a vote of the people for the purpose of providing
$570.000 for the district General Fund.
Section 3: It is hereby found and declared that an emergency exists
