NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that on July 7, 2016, I received the ballot title prepared by the Wilsonville City Attorney as referred by the Wilsonville City Council in Resolution No. 2592 titled, “A Resolution Of The City Of Wilsonville, Oregon Calling For A Measure Election To Be Included In The General Election To Be Held November 8, 2016, To Submit To The Voters The Question Of Issuing General Obligation Bonds In An Amount Not To Exceed $35 Million To Finance The Construction Of A Wilsonville Recreation And Aquatic Center.” Adopted by the Wilsonville City Council at a special scheduled meeting held July 7, 2016.
Caption:
Authorizes General Obligation Bonds for Wilsonville Recreation and Aquatic Center.
Question
Shall Wilsonville be authorized to issue up to $35,000,000 of general obligation bonds for a Community Recreation and Aquatic Center? If the bonds are approved, they will be payable from taxes on property or property ownership that are not subject to the limitations of Sections 11 and 11b , Article XI of the Oregon Constitution.
Summary:
This measure would authorize the City to issue up to $35 million of general obligation bonds to pay for capital costs to provide a Community Recreation and Aquatic Center (“Center”), including costs to acquire property and construct the Center, parking lot and related amenities, and finance issuance costs. The primary purpose of the Center is to provide community event space, aquatic, athletic, fitness, and recreational facilities. A “yes” vote approves the Measure; a “no” vote rejects the Measure.
This Measure will result in a tax increase by an estimated $0.59 per $1,000 of assessed value per year; for example: approximately $177 per year on a home assessed at $300,000, or $14.75 per month.
Center usage will require payment of a user or membership fee. Membership and user fees for the Center have not been determined but Wilsonville residents will pay a reduced fee.

* I hereby state that I am authorized by the City governing body to submit this Request for Ballot Title-Preparation or Publication of Notice.
