ice centers within the city limits of the City of Union. A “No” vote would

cybin service centers within the city limits of the City of Union.

NOTICE OF BALLOT TITLE FOR THE NOVEMBER 2022 ELECTION
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 8, 2022, the City Admin-
istrator received from the City of Union Council the following ballot title
for a measure to be referred to the legal voters of the City of Union on
November 8, 2022 General Election:
CAPTION: CONTINUATION OF THE LIBRARY OPERATIONS LEVY
FOR AN ADDITIONAL FIVE YEARS.
QUESTION: Shall City of Union support library services by levying
$1.05 per $1,000 assessed value for five years, beginning July 2023?
SUMMARY: Measure renews and reduces a levy that expires in June
2023. Renewal supports the City Library of Union by funding central
support and services. The expiring levy provides 100% of total City op-
erating and personnel Library funding. Renewal of the levy will allow
the Library to: Maintain open hours, avoiding cuts in service; Fund chil-
dren’s reading events, including summer reading and literacy programs
for preschoolers; Purchase books and materials that all library users
have access to; Provide reading and learning support, including online
access and homework help designed to improve school success for
all students in the city. The reduced five-year levy continues library
services at a fixed rate of $1.05 per $1,000 of assessed value, which
is unchanged from the current rate. In 2023, typical homeowners with
an assessed value (not market value) of $200,000 would pay $210.
Estimated levy amount for each year: $125,197 in 2023-24; $128,953
in 2024-25; $132,821 in 2025-26, $136,807 in 2026-27; $140,910 in
