A
total of $9,970,000 in 20-year bonds will be required to pay for
this district facility upgrade. The school district proposes to
levy a maximum average mill levy of 9.90 mills for 20 years to pay
for costs of the project. The mill levy reflects the State of Kansas
contribution of 22 cents on the dollar to retire bonds. Every time
a payment is due on the bonds, the State of Kansas sends its portion
of the bill (both principal and interest) to the local district.
The chart below
shows the approximate costs of the 9.90 mills to taxpayers according
to the value of their homes and shows the annual and monthly costs.
NOTE: This increase
will not appear until you receive your November 2005 tax statements.

If you are unsure
of the actual value of your property or own farmland, or a business,
look at your last assessment statement. Take the assessed
value, not the appraised value (market value), and multiply
it by .00990 to see what increase this bond issue will cost you.
Make sure your decimal point is correctly placed!
