If Measure 34-77 does not pass, or if it passes, but the May 18th election does not have at least 50 percent voter turnout, further reductions in li- brary services would begin in July 2004. These would likely include reductions in library op- erating hours, staffing levels, purchase of books and other materials, and elimination of some existing library programs and services. Without additional re- sources, countywide funding would be about equal to what it was four years. The levy is a property tax rate of 26¢ per $1000 of assessed valuation, which would add $43 to a typi- cal homeowner’s tax bill in 2004. This assumes an aver- age home assessment (not market value) of $165,000. Additional information on Measure 34-77 is available at local libraries, or visit www.WILI net.wccls.lib.or.us. Vernonia Justice Court Due to a change in computer systems at the court, no court report is available for this is- sue. The court report should be available by the next issue.
