PrintThe Lewis County Auditor's Office has announced the propositions expected to appear locally for voters during the Feb. 10 Special Election.
The Castle Rock School District is proposing two levies of varying amounts and durations: First is a three-year Maintenance and Operations levy intended to replace a levy expiring at the end of 2015. The proposed levy amount would be $2.05 million and would impose a property tax of roughly $2.93 per $1,000 of assessed value. The second is a six-year Technology and Capital Projects Levy that would generate $200,000 and would impose a property tax of roughly $0.27 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The Evaline School District is proposing a two-year Maintenance and Operations levy intended to replace a levy expiring at the end of 2015. The proposed levy amount would be $190,000 and would impose a property tax of roughly $1.19 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The Toledo School District is proposing a four-year Maintenance and Operations levy intended to replace a levy expiring at the end of 2015. The proposed levy amount would be $1.1 million and would impose a property tax of roughly $2.38 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Lewis County Fire District 2, based in Toledo, is proposing a six-year EMS levy intended to replace a levy expiring at the end of 2015. The proposed levy would impose a property tax of $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value.
All these proposed levies, if approved, would take effect in 2016 and require a simple majority to pass. Resolutions describing the propositions in greater detail are available for public viewing at the Lewis County Auditor's Office, located at 351 NW North St., in Chehalis, and can be accessed during regular offices hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Ballots for the Feb. 10 election are expected to be mailed out by Jan. 23 and must be postmarked by Feb. 10 or turned in to a ballot box on that date no later than 8 p.m.
