The board has approved a $9.5
million bond levy which will go
before voters on March 28.
This bond levy, if passed, would
allow Clackamas Community
College a proposed $6.5 million
this July, another million in July
’93, and $2 million in July ’97. The
bond would be a 20 year bond
which would last until 2010.
The bond will be sold to banks
or other lending institutions and
will be paid back quarterly. The
bank or other lending institution
which CCC will sell to is the one
which charges theleast amount of
interest. The expected interest rate
is 7%. The old bond had an inter­
est rate of 4.69%.
The money from this bond
levy will go to the construction of
a Business & Computer Technol­
ogy Center (26,000 sq. ft), expan­
sion and remodeling of the library
(22,000sq. ft), a Wilsonville class­
room facility (10,000 sq. ft), and
the maintenance and expansion
of current facilities, according to
Bill Ryan, administrative dean of
college services and planning.
“First priority will be build­
ing a classroom and more parking
spaces,” said Ryan.
The estimated value of the
average house in Clackamas
County is $60-80,000, meaning the
bond would cost the average tax
payer $5.95 a year. They are cur­
rently paying $4.20 a year for the

last bond levy, which means they
will could see an increase in taxes
of $1.75 if this bond levy passes,
according to Bill Symes public
information supervisor.
“The Oregonian misprinted
the cost of the bond levy per-
household as being $54 per year
instead of $5.95, which is the cor­
rect cost to tax payers,” said Symes.
The current bond levy, which
was approved in 1968 for $5 mil­
lion, will run out this April. This is
the reason for the proposal of a
new bond levy.
“It’s always a risk when you
want to increase taxes. You have
to prove to the voters you need
the money. We expect no formal
opposition to the bond levy,” said
Ryan.

“I think we’ve improved at
getting students in the right courses
and get them passing those
courses,” Keyser said. He also
stressed that it was important to
train students well because they’ll
come back and work in the com-
munity.
Keyser earned his BA in Po­
litical Science in 1967 from the
University of Colorado, where he
alsd obtained Masters degree in
College Student Personnel Ad­
ministration in 1968. Keyser earned
a Ph.D. in Community College
Administration from the Univer­
sity of Colorado in 1975.
Before coming to Clackamas
in July of 1985, Keyser was vice
president for instruction at Linn-
Benton Community College in
Albany, Oregon. From 1977-82
he was dean of student relations
at Mt. Hood Community College.
‘“It’s easier to get things done
at the community college level,”
said Keyser, “I’ve talked to people
at the four year universities and
there’s so much to go through to
get something done. It’s not like
that at this (community college)
level.”
