RE: Ballot titles for Sewer District No. 2/Water District No. 15
The attached resolutions and ballot titles were submitted
to me for review by the above --referenced districts. The titles
do not clearly express or carry out the intent set forth in the
resolutions. They fail to state the total dollar amount sought
to be collected, the dollar amount per $1,000.00 of assessed value
is not expressed as an approximate figure, the time of collection
is omitted, and the specific purpose expressed in the resolution
is different than the purpose described in the proposed title.
As a result, I have redrafted the titles as follows:
Sewer No. 2
Shall Sewer District No. 2 of Whatcom County,
Washington levy an additional tax of approximately $1.25 per
$1,000.00 of assessed value in the district to provide $20,000.00
for the purpose of providing planning,.engineering studies, and
plans and legal services for the district for collection in 1982
as more specifically provided in Resolution No. 14 of the District
Commissioners adopted June 29, 1981.
Water District No. 15
Shall Water District No. 15 of Whatcom County, Wash-
ington levy an additional tax of approximately $1.25 per $1,000.00
of assessed value in the district to provide $20,000.00 for the
purpose of providing planning, engineering studies, and plans and
legal services for the district for collection in 1982 as more
specifically provided in Resolution No. 30 of the District
Commissioners adopted June 29, 1981.
