AUTHORIZING A SHIFT OF $1,824,000 FROM THE ROAD LEVY TO THE GENERAL LEVY FOR
2016
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 84.52.043, at the option of the County Legislative Authority, some
of the unused levy capacity of the County Road Fund may be shifted to the County General Fund, provided
that: 1) the rate for the General Levy does not exceed $2.25/$1,000 of assessed value; and 2) the total levy
rate for both the General Levy and the Road Levy within the County does not exceed $4.05/$1,000 of
assessed value; and 3) the City of Shelton Metropolitan Park District will have its capacity reduced as the
result of the shift; however the County and the City will enter into an agreement to buy -down the impact to
the Metropolitan Park District and the actual amount will be determined after the levy rates are calculated
by the County Assessor; 4) Following the buy -down, the aggregate of levy rates for all junior and senior
taxing districts, other than the state, does not exceed $5.90/$1,000 of assessed value; and
WHEREAS, a shift in the amount of $1,824,000 from the Road Levy to the General Levy will not
cause the County to increase the total of the two levies in excess of the statutorily allowed 1 % increase; and
WHEREAS, in the event that calculations made after final values are available would conflict with
any provisions set forth in RCW 84.52.043, the County Assessor will reduce the levy shift to an amount
that will not cause conflict with any provisions set forth in RCW 84.52.043; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that $1,824,000 is
shifted from the Road Levy to the General Levy for collection in 2016.
