there shall be submitted to the legal voters of Deschutes County,
Oregon, for their approval or rejection, the following measure:
CAPTION:
SHERIFF THREE-YEAR SPLIT SERIAL LEVY.
QUESTION:
Shall County levy $4,850,000 each year for three years
beginning 1994/95 outside tax base for Sheriff services using
split levy?
SUMMARY:
Sheriff split serial levy will levy $1,988,500 each year for
three years within incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch
Service District and Sunriver. These areas fund local patrol
services. $2,861,500 each year for three years will be
levied in the remaining area of Deschutes County. Difference
in the levy amount is the cost of rural Sheriff patrols.
Current Sheriff's serial levy ends on June 30, 1994. New
levy will increase jail capacity from 54 to 150 inmates. Ten
new patrol deputies will be added. Split levy will provide
dedicated patrols in rural areas.
Funds DARE anti-drug school program. Funds traffic safety
team, emergency services, animal control and drug
enforcement. Continues special program for arson and murder.
Total amount raised by three-year serial levy for Sheriff
operations is $14,550,000. This amount of proposed taxes are
outside limitation imposed by Section 11, Article XI, Oregon
Constitution. Sheriff will continue to receive funds from
general fund.
This levy will not reduce the property tax collections of
other local governments under Section 11(b), Article XI,
Oregon Constitution. The revenues raised will be used
exclusively for County Sheriff purposes.

Chapter 4.32, the Board hereby adopts the Findings of Fact set forth in
Exhibit A, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.

EXHIBIT A
FINDINGS OF FACT
Sheriff patrol services are not provided uniformly within Deschutes
County, Oregon. Deschutes County Sheriff patrol services are not
provided within incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District
and Sunriver because these areas are patrolled by local agency patrols
utilizing non -county sworn police officers paid by the local agency.
The level and types of services provided outside these areas is
significantly different because the remainder of Deschutes County is
served with peace officer patrol services provided by the Deschutes
County Sheriff. The overall cost of providing sheriff services within
incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver is
substantially less than the cost of providing services in the remainder
of unincorporated Deschutes County, Oregon.
The areas where there is a difference are easily identified because the
areas receiving patrol services from non -county peace officers are
within the limits of Bend, Redmond and Sisters, the boundary of the
Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver as defined in Chapter
4.32, Deschutes County Code. Only in the remainder of the county are
sheriff patrols routinely provided. If sheriff patrol officers respond
within incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District or
Sunriver, the response is in accordance to a request for service, and
in the role as back-up, as mutual aid, or when specialized expertise is
required. The sheriff patrol response within incorporated cities,
Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver is similar to the
mutual response arrangements for fire and ambulance services from
separate districts.
The difference in cost of providing services within the incorporated
cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver and the
remaining rural areas is $1,378,000 per year based upon the Sheriff's
budget. This results in a distribution of rural patrol costs plus one-
half of the remaining department budget, or 59 percent of the overall
department budget, to the area of Deschutes County outside the
incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver.
This percentage, when applied to the levy of $4,850,000 results in a
levy of $2,861,500 for the portion of the county outside the
incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver.
The attached "Sheriff's Split Levy" budget sheet sets forth the
estimated three-year operating budget based upon a split levy.
