29-126 This measure renews the current expiring levy. The levy amount will remain at $0.65 per $1,000 of assessed value and will be used to continue the operations of the County Library System. It is estimated the proposed rate will
raise $2,500,000 in 2012/13; $2,600,000 in 2013/14; $2,700,000 in 2014/15; $2,800,000 in 2015/16; and $2,925,000 in 2016/17. 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 County Library System includes the main library in Tillamook, five (5) branch libraries located in Bay City, Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach, Manzanita, and Pacific City and the Bookmobile which serves rural Tillamook County. This tax
rate will provide over ninety-five (95%) percent of the total revenue supporting the County Library System. All county libraries will have to close if an operating levy fails.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

impact of this measure is an average of $.45 per $1,000.00 of real market value. For example, if the measure passes, the owner of a $100,000.00 home would pay approximately $45.00 per year for five years.<o:p></o:p></p>
