WHEREAS, Lynden School District No. 504, Whatcom County, Washington (the "District"), for the past two years has had in effect a maintenance and operations levy in order to enable the District to pay for its educational programs and services, including teaching, school supplies, technology, athletics, buildings and transportation; and WHEREAS, the current maintenance and operations levies expire this year; and WHEREAS, the money in and to be paid into the General Fund of the District during the 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years will be insufficient to enable the District to pay for necessary maintenance and operations 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 levy 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 $2.20 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation to provide $4,300,000, said levy to be made in 2008 for collection in 2009; and B. A tax of approximately $2.19 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation to provide $4,500,000, said levy to be made in 2009 for collection in 2010. 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 DISTRICT NO. 504, WHATCOM COUNTY, WASHINGTON, as follows: Section 1. The following taxes for the District's General Fund should be levied 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. $4,300,000, said levy to be made in 2008 for collection in 2009; and B. $4,500,000, said levy to be made in 2009 for collection in 2010. 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 Whatcom County Assessor's office, the estimated levy rate for the 2008 levy is $2.20 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation and the estimated levy rate for the 2009 levy is $2.19 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The exact levy rate shall be adjusted based upon the actual assessed value of the property within the District at the time of the levy. Upon approval by the voters of the proposition substantially in the form set forth below, the District may use the proceeds of said levies during the 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 school years by incurring an indebtedness by the issuance of short term obligations against the General Fund of the District, as authorized by Chapter 39.50 RCW, and may expend the proceeds of said levies to pay such part of the general expenses of maintenance and operations of the District during such school years as may be authorized or allowed by law for the use of excess levy funds. -2- PA20287 CMW\20287 7VE 1/9108 Section 2.
