NOTICE OF LOCAL SPECIAL BOND ELECTION
BOARD OF EDUCATION OF JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT, SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH
PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a local special bond election will be held in Jordan School District, Salt Lake County, Utah (the 'District'), at the same time as the statewide regular general election, on Tuesday, November 8, 2016 ('Election Day'), at which local special bond election there shall be submitted to the qualified, registered voters residing within the District the following question (which is also the sample ballet):
BOARD OF EDUCATION OF JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT, SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH
SPECIAL BOND ELECTION
November 8, 2016
PROPOSITION #B
Shall the Board of Education of Jordan School District, Utah, be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $245,000,000 and to mature in no more than 21 years from the date or dates of issuance of such bonds for the purpose of paying all or a portion of the costs of constructing, acquiring, furnishing and equipping new school buildings and facilities; rebuilding existing school buildings and facilities; acquiring land for school buildings and facilities, and, to the extent necessary, for providing moneys for the refunding of general obligation bonds?
Property Tax Cost of Bonds. The District has other outstanding bonds for which a tax decrease would occur upon the retirement of such bonds, which may not occur if the proposed bonds are issued. The outstanding bonds reduce over time such that the incremental property tax due to the issuance of the proposed bonds (after the full $245,000,000 of bonds is issued) is expected to have a net increase from current annual property tax levels of approximately $16.80 per year on a $300,000 primary residence and approximately $30.55 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value.
If the Bonds are issued as planned, without regard to the taxes currently levied for outstanding bonds that will reduce over time, an annual property tax to pay debt service on the proposed bonds will be required over a period of 20 years in the estimated amount of $127.79 per year on a $300,000 primary residence and in the estimated amount of $232.35 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value.
The foregoing information is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the Board may be required to levy to pay debt service on the bonds. The Board is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the bonds. The amounts are based on various assumptions and estimates, including estimated debt service on the bonds and taxable values of property in the District.
FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS (YES)
AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS (NO)
The special bond election will be administered mainly by mail. The District will provide election day voting centers (the 'Voting Centers') open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The election officer will mail to each registered voter within the District ballot and a postage paid business reply envelope. Other than the Voting Centers, there will be no polling places in the District for the special bond election. If a voter fails to follow the instructions included with the ballot, the voter will be unable to vote in the election except at the Voting Centers.
