Series of 1975
TITLE: A RESOLUTION STATING OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSED INCREASE IN
THE JEFFERSON COUNTY R-1 SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET FOR 1975 AND
OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSED INCREASE IN MILL LEVY FOR THIS
PURPOSE
WHEREAS, the Jefferson County R-1 School District Board has
approved a 135.6 million dollar total budget for 1976 w~ich represents
a twenty-three percent (23%) general fund increase over the 1375 budget;
and
WHEREAS, the percentage of budget increase is far greater than
the 1.1% increase in school enrollment; and
WHEREAS, the proposed 1976 budget will require a 9.35 mill levy
increase which will place a heavy burden on property owners in Wheat
Ridge; and
WHEREAS, the proposed increase in the school mill levy will
have an adverse affect on the ability of the City of Wheat Ridge to
finance needed municipal services due to the impact on local property
owners; and
WHEREAS, the proposed budget has been forwarded to the Colorado
State Budget Review Board for its review and approval pursuant to State
law;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Wheat Ridge that the proposed 1976 school budget is excessive and
if adopted will cause hardship on many residents and property owners
residing in Wheat Ridge, and, therefore, should be reduced drastically
to avoid any increase in the mill levy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the State Budget Review Board
be urged to cause such budget to be reduced within existing mill levies
in effect for 1976 in accordance with its statutory authority.
DONE AND RESOLVED this 20th
