The regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Whatcom County Rural Library District was held in Whatcom County, Washington December 14, 1993, attended by a quorum of the Board for the conduct of such business; and, after due consideration and deliberation, the following resolution was duly passed by all Trustees then attending voting in favor and no one voting against: WHEREAS, the Whatcom County Rural Library District was established in 1944 and is still using ostensibly the same non -automated circulation system; and WHEREAS, in the last ten years the service area population has increased about thirty-three percent (33%); the population is expected to continue to grow; and circulation has increased about seventy-five percent (75%); and WHEREAS, technology exists to automate routine library functions to help accommodate projected growth; and WHEREAS, library automation would improve library service by allowing library patrons to search catalogs by key words, check out and return books faster, renew books at any outlet, know where books are located and when they are due back and reserve materials quickly; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE WHATCOM COUNTY RURAL LIBRARY DISTRICT as follows: Section 1. That it has been determined that since increased circulation of books and other Library services require library automation, the Library Board of Trustees finds it necessary to ask the County Auditor in Whatcom County to place before the voters in a Special Levv Election in the District on February 8, 1994, a proposition to levy a general tax upon the taxable property within the Library District in excess of the constitutional and statutory limitations for one (1) year in the sum of Two Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($280,000) requiring assessment of approximately seven cents ($.07) per One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) of assessed valuation, based on 100% of true and fair value, such levy to be made in 1994 for collection in 1995, one year only. Page 1 of 2. Section 2. That the importance of improving library services as described in this Resolution should be considered by the Whatcom County Auditor to constitute the type of emergency that satisfies Section 29.13.020(2) of the Revised Code of Washington which allows the Whatcom County Auditor to call a special election upon presentation of a Resolution at least forty-five days prior to the proposed election date. Section 3. That the proposition, including caption thereof, shall take the following form: PROPOSITION LIBRARY LEVY Shall the Whatcom County Rural Library District levy a general tax for one year only of approximately $.07 per One Thousand Dollars of assessed value upon the taxable property within the Library District in excess of constitutional and statutory limitations to provide the sum of $280,000 based on 100% of true and fair value, such levy to be made in 1994 for collection in 1995 to be used to automate library functions?
