STATE MEASURE
REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE
BY THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
53 AMENDS CONSTITUTION:
ELIMINATES VOTER TURNOUT
REQUIREMENT FOR PASSING
CERTAIN PROPERTY TAX MEASURES
O RESULT OF "YES" VOTE: "Yes" vote
eliminates 50 percentvotertumout re-
quirement for passage of certain
property tax measures.
O RESULT OF "NO" VOTE: "No" vote
retains 50 percent voter turnout
requirement for passage of certain
property tax measures.
SUMMARY- Amends constitution. Ballot Measure 50,
passed in 1997, allows passage of certain local prop-
erty tax measures by majority vote only it at least 50
percent of registered voters cast ballots: or measure is
voted upon in a general election held in an even -num-
bered year. This measure would eliminate the 50 per-
cent voter turnout requirement for all elections held on
or after May 19,1998. Thus, the measure would per-
mit approval of local property tax measures by majority
vote regardless of voter turnout.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL IMPACT: Passage of Mea-
sure 53 will result in a direct reduction of annual local
govemmerit expenditures in Oregon estimated at
$175,000. The estimate is based on the assumption
that at least one election occurs annually in each Or-
egon county requiring an eligibility review of 10 percent
of acounnty'sregistered voters. Feweefectionsorfewer
challenged votes would reduce savings. More elec-
tions or more challenged voters would increase sav-
ings.
QUESTION: Shall Deschutes Public Library District
be formed and impose $0.55 per $1,000 assessed
value as permanent rate limit beginning 1998-99?
SUMMARY: This measure may be passed only at an
election with at least a 50 pemerrt voter tumouL
This measure will form the Deschutes Public Library
DistricL Deschutes County intends to transfer all
county fibrary services to the dstrd and cease library
funding from its general fund.
The newlibrary dsMwill be separatiefrom Deschutes
County. The new district will have its an tax rate
dedicated to library purposes. Stable funding will re-
store and expand services in branch libraries in Bend,
La Pine, Redmond, Sisters and Sunrnrer. Funding will
provide children's programs, double raw books and
expandopen hours.
The new library district will be governed by an inde-
pendent elected board. The five board members will
be elected from zones.

COUNTY MEASURE
9-56 SHERIFF FIVE YEAR
SPLIT -RATE LOCAL OPTION TAX
QUESTION: Shall County impose split -rate of
$0.822 urban and $1.159 rural per $1000 as-
sessed value for Sheriff services beginning 7/1/
98?
This measure may cause property taxes to in-
crease more than three percerrL
This local option tax is for a period of five years.
SUMMARY: This measure may be passed only
at an election with at least a 50% voter tumouL
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
• Sheriff patrols
• Adult jail operations
• Community policing program
• Court security
• Civil process
• Search and rescue
• Animal control
• Emergency services
• Drug enforcement and education programs
Arson investigation .
• Truck safety enforcement
Sheriff levy rates are not increased by this mea-
sure 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.
