<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>SUMMARY:<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Measure replaces levy expiring in June 2026, The levy supports Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) and libraries in Aloha, Banks, Beaverton, Bethany, Cedar Mill,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cornelius, Forest Grove, Garden Home, Hillsboro, North Plains, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and West Slope. The expiring levy provides 45% of total WCCL.5 funding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Replacement levy would help maintain and provide:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Reading and learning support for kids and teens, including homework help for students.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Central services that efficiently link libraries together so users can browse collections and reserve materials for pickup at their nearest library.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Open hours and access to books and materials for everyone in the community.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Children's reading events including story times for babies, toddlers and preschoolers.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The replacement levy would set a fixed rate of 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, an increase of 15 cents. In 2026, typical homeowners with an assessed value (not market value) of $348,600<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">would pay about $129 annually, or $4.55 more per month than the current levy expiring In June 2.026. The library levy rate was last replaced by voters in 2015,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Estimated levy amount for each year:<o:p></o:p></p>

</b>Shall McMinnville build an aquatics/recreation center; enhance llbrary, parks, senior center; issue bonds not exceeding $98,500,000; require citizen oversight?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the bonds are approved, they will be payable from taxes on property or property ownership that are not subject to the limits of sections 11 and 11b, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Summary:<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">McMinnville's population has more than doubled since the last major renovations to many of the community facilities. City recreation facilities and parks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">have aging infrastructures and deferred maintenance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This measure authorizes $98,500,000 principal amount of bonds for capital projects, expected to include:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Purchasing property and building a combined swim/aquatics and recreation facility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Renovating senior center.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Expanding the children's area and adding bathrooms at the library.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• Making improvements to some parks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since 2019 the City has worked with the community to design the projects, including reducing the price and scope of the projects from earlier proposals.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If bonds are approved, the annual tax rate is estimated to increase by $0.95 per $1,000 of assessed value for bond payments. Actual levy rate may differ<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">due to final interest rates, changes in assessed value. Bonds may be issued in multiple series; each maturing within 21 years of issuance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The City would establish a citizen oversight committee to ensure proceeds are used for purposes indicated.<b><br>
