RESOLUTION NO. 74_09
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 84.52.043, at the option of the County Legislative Authority,
some of the unused levy capacity of the County Road Fund may be shifted to the County General
Fund, provided that: 1) the rate for the General Levy does not exceed $2,4 75 per $1,000 of assessed
value; and 2) the total levy rate for both the General Levy and the Road Levy within the County
does not exceed $4.05 per $1,000 of assessed value; and 3) no other district has its levy capacity
reduced as the result of the shift; and 4) the aggregate of levy rates for all junior and senior taxing
districts, other than the State, does not exceed $5.90 per $1,000 of assessed value; and,
WHEREAS, based on preliminary values, the County Assessor has determined that a shift
in the amount $216,000 from the Road Levy to the General Levy will not conflict with any
provisions set forth in RCW 84.52.043; and,
WHEREAS, a shift in the amount of $216,000 from the Road Levy to the General Levy
will not cause the County to increase the total of the two levies in excess of the statutorily allowed
I % increase; and,
WHEREAS, in the event that calculations made after final values are available would
conflict with any provisions set forth in RCW 84.52.043, the County Assessor will reduce the levy
shift to an amount that will not cause conflict with any provision set forth in RCW 84.52.043; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners, after hearing and considering all relevant
public comment, has determined that the General Levy requires an increase in property tax revenue
from the previous year in order to meet the expected expenses and obligations, in addition to the
taxes on the value of new construction and improvements to property and any increase in the value
of state assessed property, and it is in the best interest of the taxpayers of Jefferson County that the
amount authorized for collection in 2010 is increased by $216,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County Commissioners
of JeffersoE G9~ty that $216,000 be shifted from the Road Levy to the General Levy for
