1. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE SHERIFF'S SPLIT -RATE LEVY
Before the Board was a public hearing on the Sheriff's split -
rate levy. Rick Isham reported legislation requires the
governing body to hold a public hearing at least thirty days
prior to the election date.
Greg Brown,. Sheriff's Department, reported this was a three
year levy which will raise $4,850,000 each year beginning with
the fiscal year 1994-95. The proposed levy will raise
$1,988,500 in the incorporated cities of Bend, Redmond and
Sisters, and also in the areas of Sunriver and Black Butte
Ranch. The reason Sunriver and Black Butte Ranch are included
is that they have certified BPST law enforcement personnel
that are paid for specifically by those local areas. The
proposed levy would also raise $2,861,500 in the remainder of
the unincorporated areas of the county. The estimated tax
rate would be $.60 per thousand in the incorporated cities,
Sunriver and Black Butte the first year; $.55 per thousand the
second year; and $.51 per thousand the third year. In the
unincorporated areas the tax rate would be $.94 per thousand
the first year; $.87 per thousand the second year; and $.80
per thousand the third year. The proposed levy will replace
the Sheriff's levy which expires in June 1994, it will allow
the County to expand the number of jail beds from 54 to 150
with the necessary staff and materials in the new facility,
and allow the County to hire 10 additional patrol deputies
over the next two years.
Chair Tom Throop opened the public hearing. There being no
testimony, the public hearing was closed.
