FNAME YM NIE BE roa nt Sra eames V Override Tax . THE PAPER WITH THE PICT *¢ & Measure Voter Approval Voters will go to the polls next Tuesday todecide a number of issues: 1. Election of school board members. 2. Kentucky Flat's annexation to the Nevada City School District. 3. Override taxes for both the Nevada City Elementary School District and the Nevada Union High School District. 4. Trustee areas in the Nevada Union High School District. 5. Addition of two members to the Sierra College Board. é Of these five issues, the override tax is probably the most contraversial. Superintendent of Nevada City Elementary Schools, Ed Browning, has called for a budget of $297, 000 that requires the requires the passage of a 45 cent override measure. This budget calls for the hiring of a teacher anda maintenance man since the the district is operating with a limited crew for the remainder of the year. Browning presentedthe school board with an alternate budget of $267,000 for use if the override fails. The smaller budget was the barest amount by which the district w ould operate, Browning noted, Four cutbacks were listed: 1. elimination of the school cafeteria 2. closing of Seven Hills School 3. double sessions for grades one through six 4. reducing kindergarten sessions to two. The Superintendent said it would again be necessary to use two sub-standard rooms, A similar tax override for the Elementary District was. defeated by the voters Janu-: ary 15. The Nevada Union High School District is submitting a30.cent override tax to the voters. : School Board Chairman, Weston Brunker explained that the district's enrollment has increased 61.5 per cent since 1953, while taxes have increased 29.4 per cent. The resulting drain on the district caused a deficit last year of $45,000. This year it will be more than $45, 000 ifcurrent estimates are correct. The 30 cent override would raise an estimated $100, 000 per year, which school officials feel will be sufficient to operate and maintain Nevada Union High School in the foreseeable future. The district now operates on a$1.19 tax rate per $100 assessed valuation. A petition for annexation of Kentucky Flat to the Nevada City Elementary School District has been filed and will appear on the April 16 ballot. Opponents of this measure believe that the proper dissolution of the Kentucky Flat School District calls for the areas now being served by both Grass Valley and Nevada City to be within the district 's boundaries. Those in favor of the annexation claim that it is illegal for a district to be legislated out of existence by boundary change procedures. They feel the first step toward splitting the Kentucky Flat District legally, is to annex the district to either Grass Valley or Nevada City District. Immediately after annexation, the portion now being served by either district can petition and force an election in their own area for a boundary. change to complete the desired split. The question of trustee areas in the Nevada Union High School District will alsobe decided by the voters next Tuesday. onl ee OTERS TO DECI es see 5 ie ee Pea gee al Up For The Nevada Union High School Board asked for a district study in order to assure} area representation on the board, and chose what was considered the best of six plans. (Further information is found on page two.) Concerning the addition of two mento the Sierra College Board, all areas of the college district must agree before Nevada County voters can be represented. Trustees have proposed that the present board be-expanded from five to seven representatives. Two new districts would be formed to give representation to the Grass Valley-Nevada City areas. (Continued on Page 3.) ee ees se Override QuestionsAnswers. CUESTION: Willthe Nevada Union High School District use the money derived from the proposed 30¢ tax increase for teachers’ salaries? ANSWER: During the 196162 school year, 74% of the district's budget expenditures was used to pay the salaries of teachers, clerks, custodians, bus drivers, etc. Therefore, almost 15¢ of every dollar spent by the district went for salaries. It appears that this will hold true during the coming years. QUESTION: How much does the high school district contribute to the retirement of employees? ANSWER: During the 196162 school year the district contributed $16,284 to teachers retirement and $26, 682 to the retirement of all classified employees(clerks, custodians, bus drivers, etc.). This total figure represents about 4. 9% of the total district expenditures of of that year. The rate of district contribution to the State Employees Retirement Fund (clerks, custodians, bus drivers, etc.) has been decreased by the State Retirement Board from 13.599% to 8.002% as of July 1, 1963. CUESTION: Why does the high school district need additional. money to operate their schools? ANSWER: Expenses of the district during the past school year exceeded income by $45,000 and during the present year of operation the difference will be at least $50,000. In addition, when school enrollment reaches 2,000 students there will be need for thirteen more teachers than presently employed. T his represents an increase of approximately -$80,000 in operational expenses. It will be impossible to offer present programs, (Continued on Page 3.)

The map during the same period. shows that most of the existing development in the area is single-family residences which are premitted in the R-1 Zone.

"If even a small percen‘tage.of this amount could ‘draw interest, the returns w ould be substantial," the Grand Jury scolded. .“These findings are not new. Comments on county funds not draw ing interest may also be found in audits for the fiscal years ending in 1959 and 1961." Grand Jury comment on the Road Department said that only about half of the funds budgeted and authorized for construction is used for these purposes. “This has been going on backward insofar as benefit to our road system is concerned,” the Grand Jury “For the 1961-62 fiscal year nearly $260,000 was authorized and$105, 600 plus or 41 per cent was ex~ pended.

"The probability is that not more than ten per cent of the accounts receiv~ able can be collected. The uncollectable remainder is a asset. "The audit states that internal control over revenue simply does not exist at the hospital. ” The County Hospital's methods of accounting have been unfavorably reported on in all audits since 1957, the Grand Jury report states.
