The title and text of the ballot proposition that will submitted to the qualified, registered voters residing within the District is as follows:

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

Notice Is Further Given that on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, that being a day no sooner than 7 days and not later than 14 days after the local special bond election, the Board of Education of the District (the “Board”) will meet at its regular meeting place, 5320 South Adams Avenue Parkway, Washington Terrace, Utah, and will canvass the returns and declare the results of the local special bond election during the Board meeting that begins at 6:00 p.m.Notice Is Further Given that on Friday, October 8, 2021, at 12:00 p.m., in the Elections Office on the first floor of the Weber Center at 2380 Washington Blvd., in Ogden, Utah, there will be conducted a test of the automatic tabulating equipment or other apparatus to be used to tabulate the results of the November local special bond election to be held in the District on the issuance of $279,000,000 general obligation bonds described above.  This test is open to public observation in accordance with the provisions of Section 20A-4-104, Utah Code.

Pursuant to applicable provisions of Sections 11-14-208 and 20A-4-403 of the Utah Code, the period allowed for any contest of the local special bond election shall end 40 days after November 16, 2021 (the date on which the results of the election are to be canvassed and the results thereof declared).  No such contest shall be maintained unless a complaint is filed with the Clerk of the Second Judicial District Court in and for Weber County, within the prescribed 40-day period.

In Witness Whereof, the Board of Education of Weber School District, Utah has caused this notice to be given.

Dated:  September 1, 2021.

Weber School District is considering going out of bond in the November 2021 Election. The Board of Education is currently gathering information through surveys, focus groups, public meetings and other research methods in order to make an informed decision on what projects should appear on the bond and what the potential impact will be to taxpayers. The Board is expected to make an official decision in August. For more information on the 2021 bond, go to:
