BOARD OF EDUCATION OF WEBER SCHOOL DISTRICT, UTAH
SPECIAL BOND ELECTION
November 2, 2021
[(Facsimile Signature)
Business Administrator, Weber School District]
Shall the Board of Education of Weber School District, Utah, be authorized to issue general obligation bonds (“Bonds”) in an amount not to exceed $279,000,000 and to mature in no more than twenty-one (21) years from the date or dates of issuance of such Bonds for the purpose of raising money for constructing buildings, acquiring land and furnishings and remodeling and updating existing school property under the charge of the Board, and, to the extent necessary, for providing moneys for the refunding, at or prior to the maturity thereof, of general obligation bonds of the Board authorized hereunder or heretofore issued and now outstanding?
PROPERTY TAX COST OF BONDS
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 Bonds will be required over a period of 20 years in the estimated average amount of $146.00 on a $395,000 primary residence, and in the estimated average amount of $265.45 on a business property having the same value.
Since there are other outstanding bonds, an otherwise scheduled tax decrease may not occur if these Bonds are issued.
However, such outstanding bonds reduce over time such that the average property tax due to the issuance of the proposed Bonds is expected to have a zero net increase ($0.00) from the current annual property tax levels after the Bonds are issued on both primary residences and businesses or secondary residences in the District.
The foregoing is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the governing body may be required to levy in order to pay debt service on the Bonds. The governing body is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the Bonds.
To vote in favor of the above bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words “For the Issuance of Bonds.” To vote against the bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words “Against the Issuance of Bonds.”
☐ For the Issuance of Bonds
☐ Against the Issuance of Bonds
