Ballot Title Caption: 10-Year Serial Levy for Street Repairs and
Maintenance
Measure Number
Passage of this measure would authorize the City of Central
Point, Oregon, to collect $900,000 in property taxes, starting
with fiscal year 1995-96, each year for 10 consecutive years, for
the purpose of financing street repairs and maintenance,
including underground utilities, within the City of Central
Point. Repair and replacement of underground City utilities
would be done as needed in conjunction with street work. The
street repairs would be made on a priority basis to be developed
by the Central Point City Council, with input from citizens, City
staff, and any outside experts the City Council might choose to
consult. This levy would be outside the tax base limitation of
Section 11, Article XI, of the Oregon Constitution, but would be
subject to the limits of Section llb, Article XI, of the Oregon
Constitution (commonly referred to as "Ballot Measure 5"). Based
upon the City's projected estimated 1995-96 total assessed
property valuation, the first year levy would be approximately
$2.78 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. That rate would decrease
over the 10-year period if the total value of the City's property
increases..
