FINDINGS OF FACT V V
Sheriff patrol services are not provided uniformly within Deschutes County, Oregon.
Regular 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, unless the agency was entered into a special contract where sheriff deputies
provide patrol on a fee basis for 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, except as described as above, 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 a mutual
aid, or when specialized expertise is required. The sheriff patrol response within
incorporate cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver is similar to the
mutual response arrangements for the 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 results in a distribution
of rural patrol costs plus one-half of the remaining department budget, or approximately
56 percent of the total Sheriffs 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 $41,336,000 results in a levy of $20,309,000 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 five
year operating budget based upon a split levy.

DESCHUTEi Yv w�rj a ORS 254.465
(Name of county)
Notice is hereby given that on Tuesday MAN 1q, 1 9 9 R
(Day of week) (Date of election)
a measure election will be held in Deschutes County, Oregon.
(Name of county)
The county clerk has advised us (SELECT ONE):
® The election will be conducted at the polls. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
O The election will be conducted by mail.
The following shall be the ballot title of the measure to be submitted to the county's voters on this date:
CAPTION (10 Words)
SHERIFF FIVE YEAR SPLIT -RATE LOCAL OPTION TAX
QUESTION (20 Words)
Shall County impose split -rate of $0.822 urban and $1.159 rural per $1000 assessed value for Sheriff services beginning
7/1/98?
This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.
This local option tax is for a period of five years.
SUMMARY (175 Words)
This measure may be passed only at an election with at least a 50% voter turnout.
The proposed five year levy will keep the same tax rate for five years. This rate is the same as the current Sheriff levy.
The current sheriff levy ends June 30, 1998. The proposed levy provides continued funding for:
♦ Crime investigation ♦ Court security ♦ Drug enforcement and
♦ Sheriff patrols ♦ Civil process education programs
♦ Adult jail operations ♦ Search and rescue ♦ Arson investigation
♦ Community policing programs ♦ Animal control ♦ Truck safety enforcement
♦ Emergency services
Sheriff levy rates are not increased by this measure and will remain the same for all five years.
The lower urban rate for incorporated cities, Black Butte Ranch Service District and Sunriver is because these areas fund
local patrol services.
This proposed local option tax, dedicated to sheriff's services, is estimated to raise: $7,136,000 in 1998-1999, $7,600,000 in 1999-2000,
$8,250,000 in 2000-2001, $8,850,000 in 2001-2002, and $9,500,000 in 2002-2003.
The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the county assessor at the
time of the estimate.
The
county official hereby certifies
title is true and complete.
