Re: Concrete School District Tax Levy
Dear Luella:
Margaret Yeoman from your office has forwarded to me a copy
of the proposed Proposition No. 1, "Tax Levy for Educational
Program Maintenance and Operation Levy," for Concrete School
District Nlo. 11. The proposition as proposed is too lengthy
and does not comply with the requirements of RCW 29..27.660.
In order that it be more in compliance with that statute,
I suggest that it be reworded as follows:
Shall the Concrete School District No. 11
levy a general tax upon the taxable property
within the school district in excess of con-
stitutional.and statutory limitations in
the sum of $130,000, an estimated $1.07 per
one -thousand dollars of assessed valuation,
such levy to be made. in 1981 for collection
in 1982, the proceeds thereof to be credited
to the General Fund of School District No. 11
to permit the district to pay expenses of
maintenance and operation such as maintenance
and instruction -al materials and maintenance
of swim program and co -curricular items funded
by levy made in 1980 for collection in 1981?
Please advise me if you have any further questions regarding
this.
