MAYOR’S CORNER
per $1000 of assessed value.
At this time, Butte Falls has not yet filled the Public
Works Superintendent position with a "State certified"
applicant. We did interview an excellent applicant, and made
an offer of employment. However, the candidate was also being
considered for a public works position in Cave Junction. The
candidate also wants to bring his family to visit our area before
accepting the position. The good news is that the Public Works
Superintendent of Shady Cove may be willing to work with
Butte Falls to train a local person. I will be able to give you
better info next month when the details are worked out.
We did not have a quorum for the regular Council
meeting in June. We scheduled a Council meeting to follow
the Public Hearing for the 98-99 Budget on Thursday, June 18.
A resolution was approved to continue the water/sewer rates at
the current level until a final ordinance has been drafted, posted
and approved. Another resolution was approved to prepare a
special tax levy to be voted on by residents in September. The
Budget Committee found no way to balance the 98-99 budget
to meet all the needs for 98-99. A special tax levy in the
amount of $ 17,000 will be requested. This dollar amount will
allow us to continue funding our police department. We are in
the process of preparing the necessary documents to have this
on the ballot. The levy will be included in the budget for 98-99
and the voters will decide on the outcome. Copies of our
budget are available at City Hall. We will be glad to make
arrangements to discuss the budget in detail. If this levy is
approved, it is estimated that it will cost property owners $2.00

$50,000 you would pay an additional $100 in property taxes.
The levy is being requested for five years maximum. The Town
can not increase the regular tax levy for this amount because of
the property tax limitations. We have a great place to live,
please support us by voting for this measure in September.
In the November election, there will be three Council
positions, the Mayor position, Treasurer and City Recorder up
for election. Any resident of Butte Falls, who is a registered
voter, is eligible to run for one of these positions. Please call
Lori at the City Hall for information.
The Town of Butte Falls is very fortunate to have so
many people willing to volunteer their time to make this
community a better place to live. We not only have volunteers
who spend countless hours serving on the Council, Planning
Commission, W ater Commission, Budget Committee, Fire
Department and now Reserve Police. W e have those volunteers
who work with our children at the youth center, the Children s
Garden, our museums, our sendee clubs and our active club.
We will soon be celebrating the 4th of July with our parade
and family activities. Thanks to all who have helped to make
this event possible again another year! In September we will
have "Cycle Oregon" return to Butte Falls. It is not too late to
sign up to help.
Happy summer! May the sunshine continue and your
gardens grow!
