Washington County previews WCCLS levy planning and West Slope transition to community nonprofit
Summary
County staff said the library local option levy will need renewal next budget cycle and that operations and governance work is underway; the West Slope library will move to Garden Home Community Library Association in FY2025–26.
Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) staff told the budget committee that the system’s current five‑year local option levy (22¢ per $1,000 assessed value) expires in June 2026. WCCLS is leading a multiyear funding and governance process with city and nonprofit partners to set a fiscally‑sustainable model for the next levy cycle, with goals to establish consistent baseline service across jurisdictions and to identify funding and allocation metrics that reflect partner roles.
