RESOLUTION 6-78/79
A RESOLUTION of the Board of Directors of Blaine
School District No. 503, Whatcom County, Washington,
providing for the submission to the qualified electors
of the district at a special election to be held
therein on March 13, 1979, of a proposition authorizing
the levy against all taxable property within the dis-
trict of an excess tax of approximately $.99 per $1000
of assessed value (100% of true and fair value unless
specifically otherwise provided by law) to raise the
sum of $485,100 in 1980 for the district General Fund
to be used to pay the costs of maintenance and operations
of the district.
WHEREAS, the money to be paid into the General Fund of the district will be in-
sufficient during the fiscal year 1979-80 to enable the district to operate properly
and to take care of all its financial obligations, it is deemed necessary in order
to prevent the impairment of the district's contracts that the district levy a tax
of $485,100.00, or approximately $.99 per $1000 of assessed value (100% of true and
fair value unless specifically otherwise provided by law) upon all taxable property
within the district in 1979 for collection in 1980 in excess of the annual tax
levy limitation the district is permitted by law to levy without the 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;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of Blaine School
District No. 503, Whatcom County, Washington, as follows:
Section 1: It is hereby found and declared that the welfare of the children of
the district requires it to carry out the plans hereinafter provided.
Section 2: That for the purpose of providing part of the funds required to
secure proper textbooks, instructional supplies and teaching materials, to make
necessary repairs and replacements to the school district facilities, to pay adequate
salaries, to prevent the impairment of the obligation of the district's contracts
and to properly carry on the functions of the schools within the district, the dis-
trict authorizes the County Commissioners of Whatcom County to levy a tax of appro-
ximately $.99 per $1000 of assessed value (100% of true and fair value unless
specifically otherwise provided by law) upon all taxable property within the district
in 1979 for collection in 1980 in excess of the annual tax levy permitted the district
without a vote of the people for the purpose of providing $485,100 for the district
General Fund.
Section 3: It is hereby found and declared that an emergency exists requiring
the submission to the qualified voters of the district of the proposition of whether
or not there should be levied such excess tax for the purpose described herein at a
special election to be held within the district on March 13, 1979. The Whatcom County
