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.
