■ CCC is seeking a two-year operating levy of $1.37 per $1000 of assessed value.
• This is a 12# increase over the current rate of $1.25 per $1000.
• The cost of operating the college to the average district residence (assessed value: $65,000)
will amount to $89 per year— an increase of less than $8.
• This levy will limit the tax rate to a maximum of $1.37 for two years (through June 30,1990).
• This levy is for operating budget only, not for construction.
• CCC will still account for less than 60 of your property tax dollar.
• CCC will still have the second lowest tax rate of all Willamette Valley community colleges.
