RESOLUTION NO.1325
A RESOLUTION CONCURRING IN THE REQUEST OF THE NORTH CENTRAL
REGIONAL LIBRARY FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF TAX CODE AREA #72,A
PART OF THE CITY OF MOSES LAKE,FROM THE NORTH CENTRAL
REGIONAL LIBRARY DISTRICT
1.The City of Moses Lake was annexed into the North Central Regional
Library District in 1984 pursuant to RCW Chapter 27.12.
2.Subsequent to such annexation,property tax increases within Grant County
Tax Code Area #72 have created a situation among junior taxing authori
ties,including the North Central Regional Library District,requiring
proration of the tax levy authority pursuant to RCW 84.52.010.
3.Property tax proration would result in a reduction in North Central
Regional Library District revenue,thus requiring a reduction in services
to people throughout the District including the residents of the City of
Moses Lake.
4.The Washington State Legislature,recognizing the problems created by
continued inclusion within the North Central Regional Library District of
a taxing area where proration is required,past Engrossed Substitute
House Bill 298 in 1987 to allow deannexation of any such area upon
request of the District with the concurrence of the governing body of the
annexed area.
5.The North Central Regional Library District,having determined that a
proration condition exists within Grant County Tax Code Area #72,passed
a resolution on May 14,1987,which by this reference is incorporated
herein,requesting withdrawal of Grant County Tax Code Area #72 from the
District in order to avoid tax proration impacts.Said resolution by the
District requests that the City of Moses Lake adopt a resolution in ac
cordance with ESHB 298 approving of and concurring with said withdrawal.
6.Having considered the impact of proration on North Central Regional
Library District revenues and the resulting impact on library services,
it appears to be in the best interests of the City of Moses Lake to ap
prove said deannexation pursuant to ESHB 298 as enacted.
RESOLVED:
1.The City of Moses Lake,pursuant to ESBH 298,passed by the Washington
State Legislature in 1987 approves withdrawal of Grant County Tax Code
Area #72,part of the City of Moses Lake,from the North Central Regional
Library District,effective at the end of the day on December 31,1987.
Adopted by the City Council on May 26,1987.
