RESOLUTION NO. C-G:- ~ 0
WHRREAS, the 1965 Washington State Legislature enacted
legislation, subsequently: approved by the Governor, which
will materially affect the financial aspect and stability
of the government of Jefferson County in calendar 1967, and
in years thereafter, and
WHEREAS, Chapter 174, Laws of 1965, Extraordinary Ses-
sion, "freezes" the actual property tax collections for
Jefferson County at the existing dollar level (except for
normal growth in the tax valuation by inclusion of property
not previously on the tax rolls) unless a majority of the
voters at a General State Election approve an increase in
the total dollars to be collected, and
WHEREAS, this Board of County Commissioners may revise
downward the normal Jefferson County millage limit of 9.00
as it applies to the new and anticipated taxable valuation
thereof, and thus produce the same dollar revenue as did 9.00
mills in calendar 1966 (or as near as practicable as now can
be estimated), allowing for normal growth in the valuation
of Jefferson County by the inclusion of property not pre-
viously on the tax rolls, and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature, from session
to session, has placed an additional burden on counties to
provide new services to the citizens without providing the
means to secure additional revenue, and in order to provide
such services, it is necessary that Jefferson County be
,
authorized to levy the full nine (9) mills allowable under
the forty-mill (40) constitutional limitation, and

WHEREAS, Chapter 174, Laws of 1965, Extraordinary Ses-
sion, requires a majority vote of the electors at a general
election held in Jefferso~ County to authorize an increase
in the reduced millage back to the 9 mills allowable under
the 40-mi11 constitutional limitation on the new equalized
valuation, and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County
Commissioners for Jefferson County that for the purpose of
providing sufficient funds required for the operation of its
Current Expense Fund in calendar 1967, and in the years
thereafter, a levy of not to exceed 9 mills permissable by
law within the constitutional 40-mil1 tax limit should con-
tinue to be made on the property within Jefferson County on
the basis of equalized valuation of the taxable property for
collection in 1967, and in the years thereafter, (notwith-
standing limitation contained in Sections 2, 3 and 4, Chapter
174, Laws of 1965, Extraordinary Session), and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that an emergency is hereby found
and declared to exist requiring the submission to the quali-
fied electors of Jefferson County of a proposition as to
whether or not such a tax levy should be made for the purpose
set forth herein at the General Election to be held in Jeffer-
son County on November 2, 1965, and the County Auditor for
Jefferson County as ex-officio Supervisor of Elections in
Jefferson County is hereby requested to find the existence
of such emergency, provide for the costs thereof by the issu-
ance of emergency warrants, and to call and conduct such
election to be held within the County, at said General Elec-
tion, the proposition hereinafter set forth, and we hereby
