NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the Lynden Regional Park and Recreation District # 3, Whatcom County, Washington. As follows, Section One. It is hereby found and declared that the welfare of the residents of the district requires the district to carry out the plans hereinafter provided. Section Two. In order to provide funds for the General Fund of the District, the district authorizes the County of Whatcom to levy a tax of $0.10 (ten cents) per thousand dollars of assessed valuation (based on 100% of the true and fair value) to be levied in 2004 for collection in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 upon the taxable property within the District.

The Whatcom County Auditor as ex-officio supervisor of elections within Whatcom County is hereby requested to find the need to call and conduct said levy election to be held within the district on said date and submit to the qualified electors of the district the proposition hereinafter set forth. The President of the Board of Commissioners is hereby authorized and directed to certify said proposition in the following form: PROPOSTION NO. 1 LYNDEN REGIONAL PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT # 3 The President of the Board of Commissioners of the Lynden Regional Park and Recreation District # 3 is hereby authorized to deliver unto the Whatcom County Auditor a copy of this resolution. ADOPTED by the Board of Commissioners of the Lynden Regional Park and Recreation District # 3, Whatcom County, Washington, at a meeting thereof, held September 2, 2004, the following Commissioners being present and voting in favor of said resolution LYNDEN REGIONAL PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT # 3, Board of Commissioners: 4inittrke, President Ron Van Soest, Vice Pmsident Se Ri`Ehard Waldemar Terry De ois Shall the Lynden Regional Park and Recreation District # 3 be authorized to impose regular property tax levies of 0.10 (ten cents) per thousand dollars of assessed valuation annually for -the operation and maintenance purposes commencing with the year 2004 for collection in years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, as specified in Lynden Regional Park and Recreation � District # 3 Resolution 2004-01? �J (� Yes...... [ ] 9'� No.......L ] Park & Recreation District Tax Levies Note: difference between a "Park and Recreation District" under Chapter 36.69 RCW (the "Recreation Districts Act"), verses the "Park and Recreation Service Area" under Chapter 36.68 RCW. It looks like they operate the same, but the legislature has phased out the District in favor of the Service Area. But check out the purposes, the two may be different in purposes. Although it looks like the taxing abilities are the same. For District under Chapter 36.69 RCW: RCW 36.69.140 authorizes levies, up to six year in length are authorized under RCW 36.69.145. For form of ballot, see RCW 29.30.111. _, A co V G-et ft. 2'1^, 36,2to Constitutional Constraints: It looks like Art. 7, Sec. 2 would limit EXCESS tax levies to ONE year in duration (except for schools that can go up to 6 years in duration). I say this because the section provides the levy question must be "submitted not more than twelve months prior to the date on which the proposed levy is to be made." § 84.52.010. Taxes levied or voted in specific amounts -- Effect of constitutional and statutory limitations -- Use of hypothetical levy. Except as is permitted under RCW 84.55.050, all taxes shall be levied or voted in specific amounts.... As to the duration of the Excess vs. the Regular Property Taxes, see below exchange of emails on the question: Last year, the constitution was amended to allow fire protection districts to have excess levies that exceed 1 year. RCW 84.52.130 provides the specifics for fire protection district excess levies. Other than schools and fire districts, all other excess levies are limited to one year. Voter approved regular levies (like those authorized in RCW 36.69.145) are limited by the language of the specific statute -- in this case six years.

It looks to me like Wa. Const. Art. 7, Sec. 2 would limit the duration of an "excess" levy to one year, because (except for schools) such a levy question must be "submitted not more than twelve months prior to the date on which the proposed levy is to be made." Hence, for "excess" levies, the district would have to put them on the ballot once a year. In contrast, for "regular" tax levies, since they are not over that Art. 7, Sec. 2 limit, the legislature has allowed the districts to impose these taxes for 6 consecutive years at a single election, per RCW 36.69.145(1). I am trying to figure this one out because I have a district wanting to impose an excess levy for a period of more than one year by a single ballot question. Oh, RCW 36.69.140(1) prescribes that for "excess levies" they are to be made per Art. 7, Sec. 2. I am thinking that I may have missed a constitutional amendment that alters that 12 month time span of Art. 7, Sec. 2. Got any free advice?
