A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles,
Washington, in support of the Port Angeles School District No. 121
maintenance and operations levy for the 2004-2005 school years.
WHEREAS, the Port Angeles School District No. 121 has submitted a maintenance and
operations levy renewal to replace the existing three-year levy with a two-year levy request; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the levy is to meet the educational needs of students in the Port
Angeles School District No. 121; and
WHEREAS, the levy request is at the same projected rate of $2.88 per $1,000 of assessed
property valuation that has been in effect for the past five years; and
WHEREAS, the levy provides about 14% of the District' s operating budget, and it will help
support the local community's share of the cost of providing a quality education for our children,
since the state provides only 70% of the total cost; and
WHEREAS, there is a property tax exemption available for qualifying seniors and low-
income homeowners;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Port Angeles City Council hereby declares its
strong support for the Port Angeles School District No. 121 maintenance and operations levy for the 2004-
2005 school years.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a regular meeting of said Council held
