Statesman-Journal, Salem, Oregon Wednesday, May 21, 1986 Primary Election Page 7A. Sheriff Keizer Voters Tuesday narrowly gave the green light to a tax base for the Salem Area Transit District. In final, unofficial results, the base was approved 16,974 to 16,534. In Marion County, it passed 14,867 to 14,670 while Polk County voters endorsed it 2,107 to 1,864. The base will replace a one-year levy which expires June 30.

The district operates the bus system formerly run by the City of Salem. District supporters said the tax base will stabilize district funding and actually hold down costs for property owners in comparison with earlier years. The base will cost property owners about 45 cents per $1,000 property value, compared to 38 cents per $1,000 for the levy. Transit officials promoted the base by calling it a bargain when measured against the levies for the district's first four years of operation. Annual levies from 1981 to 1985 ranged from $2.13 million to $2.29 million and tax rates from 69 to 74 cents per $1,000 property value.

A governmental body with a tax base may automatically increase its base by up to 6 percent a year. The transit district needed voter approval of some type of property tax measure for 1986-87 to remain eligible for $1.37 million in state operating assistance. Robert Prinslow gets the word: He's the sheriff. Voting by county Schools Continued from Page 1 A. Homer Kearns could remember the last time the district gained voter approval on the first try.

"This year we really did our homework on the levy proposal. We were hoping people would recognize the stability in a three-year levy," Holland said. Voter approval allows the district to levy up to $13.18 per in each of the 1986-87, 1987-88 and 1988-89 school years. However, district officials have said they will levy only $12.05 the first year and $12.60 the second year, reaching the $13.18 ceiling in the third year. The levy formula also will be locked in by a ceiling amount $49.3 million the first year, $52.3 million the second and $55.5 million the third, for a total of $157 million.

Combined with previously approved levies and bond issues, the estimated total tax bill will be $15.19 per $1,000 the first year, $15.75 the second year and $16.27 the third year. Marion County awaitts ffaflD battttDe Continued from Page 1 A. tive in my campaign and it feels good to be part of such a hard-working team." Foster, who was at another Salem restaurant, did not immediately concede that he had lost the election. "If in fact he has won, I will welcome him in the office to make the transition one that is of benefit to the public," Foster said. He said he had backup employment plans, but that they were "not for public consumption." Foster, 45, came to Salem in 1976 from Siskiyou County, Calif.

He rose through the ranks there to un-dersheriff, then left after a bitter fight with an incumbent sheriff he considered corrupt. Before his election as Marion County sheriff, he was an administrator and law enforcement instructor at Chemeketa Community College. He also won election to the Salem Keizer School Board. Four years ago, he defeated Heen-an in a bil ter Democratic primary. That campaign was marked by charges a.id countercharges that eventually led to investigations by the slate Department of Justice, state Board of Police Standards and Training and state Elections Division.

More than 70 percent of the voters approved purchase of vacant school buildings at 930 Chemawa Road NE for use as a city hall.

Only 62 percent, however, approved the city's $402,626 operating levy, The purchase was contingent on levy approval. Final, unofficial results showed the levy was passing 3,112 to 1,927, and the advisory measure was favored 3,593 to 1,510. The levy request will result in a tax rate of $1.05 per $1,000 property value, the same rate Keizer property owners paid this year. Since its 1982 incorporation, Keizer has rented office space. City officials believe annual operating costs for the school buildings will be comparable to what the city now pays for rent.

No additional taxes are necessary to purchase the property, which has surplus building space that city officials have promised will be available for non-profit community groups. Alderman, Ward 4 Marvis R. Mackey. Alderman, Ward 6 Harry P. Thorp.

Holland promoted the three-year option as a perfect mid-point between single-year levies and tax bases, which allow the amount levied to increase by up to 6 percent a year without voter review. Chemeketa used the mid-point that Holland described, moving to a three-year serial levy last year and then to a tax base with Tuesday's victory.

Under the tax-base plan, a total levy of $12.2 million will cost taxpayers $1.61 per $1,000 property value, or $80.50 for the owner of a $50,000 home. The total amount is 2 percent higher than this year's levy. College President Bill Segura, somewhat surprised at the victory, said, "The entire Chemeketa team must be doing the right things by the citizens of the district. It's a day-to-day effort winning taxpayers' support." Phil Kaltenbach Ben Magill Independence, captured the Republican nomination for a third term in Position 3. He defeated challenger Mike Propes 2,796 to 2,148.

His November opponent, Nelson, 30, is a teacher with the SalemDallas Family Head Start program. In other countywide issues, voters approved a measure to make the surveyor's office an appointive post. It traditionally has been an elective office. Oregon counties were given authority to make the change by the 1985 legislature, effective Sept. 21.

Surveyor Ralph Blanchard ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination to the office. Polk County legal counsel Mike Najewicz said earlier that approval of the measure will eliminate the general election vote for surveyor. The position will be filled through the county's personnel process, he said. Sheriff Ray Steele also ran unopposed for election. Formerly a deputy, Steele was appointed sheriff a year ago when Bill Berlin resigned.

Perrydale Superintendent Joe Curelo said the school board will hold an emergency meeting at noon today to try to assemble a levy proposal for the June special district election. Curelo said he had hoped for a win in Tuesday's election and that the defeat was a disappointment. Gary Burton, Dallas School District superintendent, said the budget committee had presented a responsible budget for 1986-87 and that citizens had campaigned hard for levy passage. He said that he will recommend the district seek approval of a levy in a September special election. to retain gas taxes 3-cent-per-gallon assessment in Multnomah.

With 94 of 468 precincts reporting Tuesday at 11 p.m., the vote was 20,670 to 13,734, or 60 percent to 39 percent. DALLAS -Lines were drawn Tuesday for the November election to Polk County commisioner posts. Final, unofficial returns showed that few Democrat Phil Bill Harland Kaltenbach will face Republican Bill Harland for Position 2 on the board. For Position 3, incumbent Ben Magill of Independence will face Tony Nelson, Monmouth, who was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. County Clerk Linda Dawson said 12,482 of the county's 27,849 registered voters cast ballots, a turnout of about 44.8 percent.

Position 2 on the board now is held by Democrat Bob Landon, who announced last fall he would not seek a second term. This is the second try by Kaltenbach, 49, for Polk County office. Two years ago he lost to Republican Craig Hanneman for Position 1 on the board. Kaltenbach, of Rickreall, is a self-employed building contractor. Final unofficial returns show him with 1,579 votes to 1,402 for Scott Riordan and 1,354 for Rick Synows-ki.
