Summary: To authorize the Board of Trustees of Merged Area X (Kirkwood Community College) to continue to levy a tax of not to exceed twenty and one-fourth cents per thousand dollars of assessed value in any one year for a period of not to exceed 10 consecutive years commencing with the levy for the year 2011.
Shall the Board of Trustees of Merged Area X (Kirkwood Community College) be authorized to continue to levy a tax of not to exceed twenty and one-fourth cents per thousand dollars of assessed value in any one year for a period not to exceed ten consecutive years, commencing with the levy for the year 2011, payable in fiscal years ending June 30, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, for the purchase of grounds, construction of buildings and equipment for buildings, and the acquisition of libraries, for the purpose of paying costs of utilities, and for the purpose of maintaining, remodeling, improving, or expanding the area community college of merged area.”
This was the first school election where all terms were four years. Beginning this year, school elections will be held in odd-numbered years only. Through 2008, school elections were held every year. Terms were three years until 2007, and most terms in 2008 were also three years. (Clear Creek Amana elected the District 2 director to a one year term in 2008, to set up a cycle where two of the four district seats are on the ballot every two years.)
Terms for members elected to three year terms in 2007 were shortened or lengthened to accommodate the transition.
