SEQUIM — Sequim School Board Director June Robinson executed her first official duty as board president Tuesday by filing with the Clallam County Auditor’s Office a form for the district’s maintenance and operations levy election scheduled for Feb. 3, 2004.
Robinson, elected board president Monday night, filed a ballot initiative form which will ask voters to approve $5.5 million in property tax levies to be collected in 2005-06.
Robinson was one of four board members sworn in Monday. She joined Suzi Schmidt — who also was re-elected to her seat in November — and Sarah Bedinger and Dave Blake, newly elected to the board.
The board named Blake vice president and Elna Kawal, its outgoing president, as legislative affairs representative.
One of the new board’s first official actions was to rescind an earlier resolution requesting a levy rate $1.31 per $1,000, or $131 annually on property valued at $100,000, of assessed property values.
The board reached that rate based on assessments which were recently updated by Clallam County Auditor Linda Owings-Rosenburgh.
