Discussion of Support for Extension Service Levy

At the Santa Clara Community Organization (SCCO) meeting on March 3, at 7 pm, there will be a discussion and possible action to support OSU educational programs in the community. Over the past several years SCCO has developed goals supporting farming and gardening. There is a long history of agriculture in the Santa Clara area, and SCCO sponsors a community garden.

The question to be discussed is: Shall SCCO offer its support of the OSU Extension Service 5-year levy ballot measure scheduled for a vote of the people of Lane County on May 17, 2016, and endorse and recommend the assessment of $1.50 per $100,000 assessed value (about $3 per year on a $200,000 assessment)?

That’s a cup of good coffee per year in support of 4-H kid programs , Master Gardener and Master Food Preserver volunteers who provide training. Additionally, a commercial agriculture agent and forestry program will be added to Lane County Extension. The meeting location is: Messiah Lutheran Church 3280 River Road. Come on out to your neighborhood organization.
