Notice of District Measure Election Morrow County Health District Morrow County, Oregon NOTICE IS HEREBY GIV­ EN that on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, an election will be held within the boundaries of the Morrow County Health District, Morrow County, Or­ egon. The election shall be conducted by mail pursuant to ORS 254.465. The following question will be submitted to the qualified voters thereof: CAPTION: M ORROW COUNTY HEALTH DISTRICT FIVE- YEAR LOCAL OPTION OP­ ERATIONS TAX QUESTION: Shall Morrow County Health District continue $0.39 per $ 1,000 assessed property value for continued operations for five years beginning in 2009? This measure may cause prop­ erty taxes to increase more than three percent. SUMMARY: The Morrow' County Health District will use the tax rev­ enue from this measure to help maintain and improve the present level of services. The levy is the same rate approved by the voters for fiscal years 2005-2006 through 2007- 2008. Increased unfunded care, increased supply and la­ bor costs, and the need for full­ time EMS/Ambulance staff indicate that the permanent rate will be insufficient to continue to fund District operations at current levels. The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the county assessor at the time of estimate. The proposed rate will raise approximately $357,800 per year in fiscal years 2009-2010 thru 2012- 'l013 and $381,200 in fiscal year 2013-2014, for a total of $1,812,400. Notice is hereby given that a ballot title for a measure re­ ferred by the District has been filed with the Elections Office of Morrow County, Oregon on August 28, 2008. The bal­ lot title caption is MORROW COUNTY HEALTH D IS­ TRICT FIVE-YEAR LOCAL OPTION OPERATIONS TAX. An elector may file a petition for review of this ballot title in the Morrow County Circuit Court no later than 5:00 p.m., September 9,2008 (7 business days after filing of this notice with the Elections Officer). Bobbi Childers Morrow County Clerk Published: September 3, 2008 Affidavit Estate \ By DAVID SYKES REALTOR FLOOD INSURANCE Probably the least under­ stood of common homeown­ ers insurance exclusions is flooding. Whenever a spring storm sends some creek over its banks, complaints from nearby homeowners are almost sure to follow. They usually are irate, not so much because they were flooded, but because they suddenly learned that their homeowners poicy would not pay a cent toward cleaning up the mess and restoring their watered-down property. • Modernize classrooms w ith new technology. • Pay fees associated with issuing and administering the bonds. This measure would cost property owners an estimated average of $2.82 cents per $1,000 of assessed value per year. The Bonds would mature in 16 years or less from issuance date and may be issued in one or more series. Notice is hereby given that a ballot title for a measure re­ ferred by the District has been filed with the Elections Office of Morrow County, Oregon on August 28, 2008. The bal­ lot title caption is GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS TO EXPAND, UPGRADE AND REPAIR SCHOOLS. An elector may file a petition for review of this ballot title in the Morrow County Circuit Court no later than 5:00 p.m., September 9,2008 (7 business days after filing of this notice with the Elections Officer). Bobbi Childers Morrow County Clerk Published: September 3, 2008 Affidavit Private insurers generally don't insure homes and other fixed properties against flood­ ing and mud slides because that kind of coverge doesn’t lend itself adequately to the risk-sharing principal. For those living in flood-prone ar­ eas, the cost of insuring would be prohibitive. To fill the gap, the federal government offers flood in­ surance to property owners in flood-prone areas - provided land-use requirements are met. \Hc Property • listings are available at H H H’. sykesrealestate. net 188 W.
