Rich County School District Bond

Shall the Board of Education of Rich County School District, Utah, be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in a principal amount not to exceed Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000) for the purpose of paying all or a portion of the costs to acquire land; acquiring, constructing, furnishing and equipping new school facilities; improving or rebuilding existing facilities; and the authorization and issuance of the Bonds due and payable with a term not to exceed twenty-one (21) years from the date or dates of issuance of the Bonds?

PROPERTY TAX COST OF THE 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 twenty-one (21) years in the estimated amount of $35.77 (for a residence with a $156,000 value) on a residence and in the estimated amount of $79.78 on a business property having the same value. 

If there are other outstanding bonds, an otherwise scheduled tax decrease may not occur if the Bonds are issued.

The foregoing information is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the District may be required to levy to pay debt service on the Bonds.  The District is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the Bonds.

	Against the Issuance of Bonds

The bond election will be administered entirely by absentee ballot.  The election officer will mail to each registered voter within the District an absentee ballot and a postage paid business reply envelope.  For a voter that registers to vote after the absentee ballots have been mailed, the County Clerk will either give the voter an absentee ballot and envelope to vote in the County Clerk’s office or mail an absentee ballot, postage paid, to the voter.  There will be no polling places in the District for the election.  If a voter fails to follow the instructions included with the absentee ballot, the voter will be unable to vote in the election.  Voters are not required to apply for an absentee ballot for the election.

To vote the mail-in absentee ballot, a voter will need to: (i) complete and sign the affidavit on the envelope; (ii) mark the votes on the absentee ballot; (iii) place the voted absentee ballot in the envelope; (iv) securely seal the envelope; and (v) deposit the self-addressed, prepaid envelope in the mail or deliver it in person to the County Clerk.

There is to be no special registration of voters for the bond election, and the official register of voters last made or revised shall constitute the register for the bond election.  The County Clerk will make registration lists or copies of such lists available for use by registered voters.

For information on registering to vote, voters may contact the office of the (a) Rich County Clerk at 20 South Main, Randolph, Utah  84064, telephone: (435) 793-2415 or visit the County’s website at richcountyut.org, or (b) Utah Lieutenant Governor, State Capitol, 350 N.
