RESOLUTION NO. 1 9 -1 1
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles, Washington,
authorizing an increase in the regular property tax levy of 0 %, or $0.00, over
the highest lawful levy for 2011.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Port Angeles has met and considered its budget
for the calendar year 2012; and
WHEREAS, the City's actual levy amount from the previous year was $4,090,073; and
WHEREAS, the population of the City is more than 10,000;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles
that a regular property tax levy is hereby authorized for the levy to be collected in the 2012 tax
year.
The dollar amount of the increase over the actual levy amount from the previous year shall
be $0.00 which is a percentage increase of 0 % from the previous year. This increase is exclusive
of additional revenue resulting from new construction, improvements to property, newly
constructed wind turbines, any increase in the value of state assessed property, any annexations
that have occurred and refunds made.
The City further intends that any unused levy capacity available to it under chapter 84.55
RCW as a result of this ordinance is banked for future use in accordance with RCW 84.55.092.
This furthers the underlying purpose of that statute by removing the adverse consequences to
future levy capacities resulting from the decision of the City Council to levy less than the
maximum amount for collection in 2012.
