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
PAGE 1 - EXHIBIT A TO RESOLUTION NO. 97-002 (1-9-97)
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 $1,450,000 per year based upon the Sheriff's
budget. The total cost of the Sheriff's budget less the rural area
patrols is $7,950,000. This amount apportioned among the total county
value equals a 56 percent to 44 percent split. This results in a
distribution of rural patrol costs plus 44 percent of the remaining
department budget to the area of Deschutes County outside the
incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver.
This amount, when applied to the levy of $9,400,000 results in a levy
of $4,948,000 for the portion of the county outside the incorporated
cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver and a levy of
$4,452,000 within those areas.
