Page 16 March 23,1981 COCC levy election March 31 A $3.9 million budget levy to provide the local share of the annual operation budget for Central Oregon Comniunity College for 1981-82 will come before voters in the CO CC’ district Tuesday, March 31. More than $3.6 million of the amount will be an “A” ballot request; the state will pay up to 30 percent of the amount if voters pass the levy. State relief would cut the local taxpayers’ share of that $3.6 milion to about $2.5 million. The remaining $343,254 would be a “B” ballot request and ineligible for state tax relief. According the COCC President Fred Boyle, the b a llo t will be used to supplement the “A” ballot operating levy with funds necessary to maintain and replace existing equipment and facilities. “The College has budgeted carefully each year, cutting maintenance projects rather than educational programs,” Boyle explained. “But now, we are to the point where certain federal and state requirements must be met—for example, hooking up to the sewer.” Inflation, at an annual rate of 12 percent, is one of the reasons for the larger budget and levy request, Boyle says. “We’ve also had about a 15 percent enrollment increase the past two years and more area residents are using the College each term,” Boyle says. The College Board approved a 12 percent tuition increase to take place this fall. COCC tuition rates rank in the middle of the other 13 community college rates. T h e C o lle g e D is tr ic t, operating in Crook, Deschutes, J e f f e r s o n , K la m a th and portions of Lake and Wasco Counties, has no tax base. Each year the College must secure voter approval to fund operation for the following academic year. COCC cannot o p e r a te w ith o u t v o te r approval. Nearly 450 Jefferson County residents took one or more classes winter term through COCC Community Education Centers lqcated in Madras and Warm Springs. Each term over 1,900 students take one or more credit classes through the C o lle g e . W in te r te r m enrollment in both credit and non-credit classes total 3,530 students, according to the Student Records Office. COCC offers vocational- te c h n ic a l co u rses, low er- division transfer classes and adult education throughout its 10,000 square-mile district.
