RESOLUTION NO. a013 - l8
A RESOLUTION TO CLOSE THE YOUTH ACTIVITY LEVY FUND INTO
THE PARKS AND RECREATION FUND EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 2013
THE CITY OF ASHLAND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The City of Ashland follows the Oregon Local Budget Laws ORS 294 in preparing its budget.
ORS 294.353 requires the governing body when closing a fund no longer necessary to determine
the disposition of any remaining funds.
SECTION 1. The Youth Activity levy Fund was established when the voters approved to tax
themselves to provide added support to the Ashland School District for extracurricular activities.
The fund provided for receipt of monies and coordination of programs by the Parks Commission
for which an agreed upon amount was kept to reimburse costs.
SECTION 2. The levy was renewed on a regular basis and the fund was continued as needed
through the budget process. The last renewal of the levy was in 2003, ending 2008. Since 2008
the fund has been used to collect prior year, unpaid taxes and to appropriate payment to the
school district. The Parks Commission and the school district have settled on payment of
$45,000 to close the fund representing the current balance and the value of future delinquent tax
receipts.
SECTION 3. With the ending of the levy in 2008 and the annual proceeds of delinquent taxes
being considered diminimis and the settlement of dissolution of all obligations, the fund is
deemed unnecessary and eligible for closure.
SECTION 4. With this resolution, Council closes the Youth Activity levy Fund and approves
transfer of existing residual amounts and future receipts to the Ashland Parks and Recreation
Fund for general use.
SECTION 5. This resolution takes effect upon signing by the Mayor.
