WHEREAS, Lynden School District No. 504, Whatcom County, Washington (the "District"), for the past 28 consecutive years has had in effect a maintenance and operations levy in order to enable the District to pay for its educational programs, student services and operation; and WHEREAS, the District's current maintenance and operations levy expires in 2004; and WHEREAS, the money in and to be paid into the General Fund of the District during the 2004-2005, 2005-2006, and 2006-2007 school years will be insufficient to enable the District to pay for necessary maintenance and operation and education programs and to properly meet the educational needs of the students attending District schools; and WHEREAS, in order to properly provide for such maintenance and operations and such educational needs, the Board of Directors of the District deems it necessary to replace the existing levy with the following taxes upon all of the taxable property within the District in excess of the maximum annual tax levy permitted by law to be levied within the District without a vote of the electors: A. A tax of approximately $2.84 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation to provide $3,137,098, said levy to be made in 2004 for collection in 2005; and B. A tax of approximately $2.91 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation to provide $3,215,525, said levy to be made in 2005 for collection in 2006; and WHEREAS, the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington require that the question of whether or not such excess taxes may be levied must be submitted to the qualified electors of the District for their ratification or rejection; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LYNDEN SCHOOL DISTICT NO. 504, WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

The estimated levy rate depends upon the final dollar amount of assessed value of the property within the District. At this time, based upon information provided by the County Assessor's office, the estimated levy rate for the 2004 levy is $2.84 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation, and the estimated levy rate for the 2005 levy is $2.91 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation.
