AUTHORIZATION: The Bonds are issued under the authority of Oregon State Statutes
(ORS 371.605 to ORS 371.660 and ORS 223.205 to 223.295) .
SECURITY: The primary source of payment for these Bonds is the assessment upon the
benefited properties which are being paid according to installment contracts
filed with the County. Until fully paid, each assessment constitutes a lien on the prop-
erty.

taxable property within the County without limitation as to rate or amount, is pledged to
payment of principal and interest upon these bonds should there occur an insufficiency in
assessment payments.
PURPOSE: The projects financed consist of preparation and paving of approximately 24
miles of streets in seven residential local improvement districts.
The bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Road Fund and the Assessment Districts
Operating Fund which financed 7 completed projects.
All projects were initiated by residents of the area through a petition filed with the
County. The petition must be signed by not less than 60 percent of the owners of the
land representing not less than 60 percent of the land abutting the proposed improvement.
DEBT LIMITATION: Oregon Revised Statute 371.655(3) sets the maximum Bancroft Bonds
outstanding for a County at 3.75$ of the true cash value.

DESCHUTES COUNTY PROFILE
Deschutes County operates under Oregon State Statutes and is not a home rule county.
The County's governing body is made up of three elected full-time Commissioners. The
Commission is responsible for the administration of the County in general. Other elected
officials are responsible for their departments.
TAXES: The total amount of ad valorem property tax that may be levied by the County
is controlled by Article XI Section 11 of the Oregon Constitution. The amount
to be levied in any fiscal year may not exceed the highest amount levied in the past three
years plus 6%. Any amount above the 6% limitation must be approved by a vote of the
people. Deschutes County's base for the 1978-79 fiscal year is $912,597.14. These tax
revenues are used for the support of the County general fund and County School fund.
Prior year tax collections represent monies received from the collection of taxes levied in
any year prior to the current year and collected during the current fiscal year.
The County levies and receives tax monies in the General School Fund, Solid Waste Dis-
posal Fund, and until June 30, 1980, when it was abolished, the Library Fund. In addi-
tion, the County maintains approximately 25 special revenue funds for which the revenues
received can only be spent on specific purposes.
PENSION PLAN: 216 employees of Deschutes County are members of the Oregon Public
Employees Retirement System pension plan (1221 S.W. Yamhill, Portland,
Oregon 97205) . Employers contributions as of June 30, 1980 totaled $345,152. The most
recent actuarial study of OPERS indicated total assets of $1,130,967 and a 30 -year present
value "unfunded liability" of $1,079,288 as of December 31, 1979. New employer rates
were adopted to amortize this liability; the Deschutes County employer rate as of January
1, 1981 is 9.18$.

VOL 40 PAGE440
THE "BANCROFT" BONDING ACT
Oregon Law (ORS 371.605 to 371.660 and ORS 223.205 to 223.295) enables counties to make
street and road improvements in unincorporated areas and to issue general obligation im-
provement bonds ("Bancroft Bonds") to finance the improvements. The Deschutes County
Charter also authorizes the assessment of benefited properties to finance local improve-
ments.
ORS 371.605 to 371.660 establishes the methods and procedures by which the County may
make local improvements and collect assessments. When the assessment is levied by the
County Board, a lien is entered against the benefited property. The property owner has
the choice of paying the complete assessment or paying over a determined period by filing
an installment contract with the County.
All of the assessment installment contracts have 10 year terms and charge 12% annual in-
terest on the unpaid balance. Principal is paid in equal semiannual installments. There
is no prepayment penalty.
Each contract specifies that a delinquency in payment occurs 30 days after failure to make
payment when due, and in that event all unpaid installments, including interest, shall be-
come immediately due and payable, and that the total amount may be collected in any legal
manner, including foreclosure of lien. ORS 371.660 provides that one year from the date
an assessment is delinquent, the Board may collect unpaid assessments by advertisement
and sale in the manner provided by law for the sale of real property on execution.
The issuance of general obligation improvement bonds is prescribed by ORS 223.205 to
223.295, the "Bancroft Bonding Act". These bonds may be issued for the amount out-
standing on installment contracts filed with the County. The bonds are retired from pay-
ments upon the installment contacts, which may be prepaid in full at any time and usually
are fully paid when the property is sold. The prepayments must be deposited in the
Assessment Districts Bond Sinking Fund until the bonds are retired.
The County has established this sinking fund solely for Bancroft Bond issues. Payments
on the outstanding contracts will be deposited to this fund and debt service payments on
these bonds will be made from the fund. The contracts earn the County 12% annual inter-
est: therefore a deficit may occur in this fund during the later years of this bond issue.
Since the bonds are backed by the general obligation of the County, taxes or other re-
sources of the County can be applied if any shortfalls in debt service funds occur. The
County has stated its intention to budget for the required monies in the General Fund
should a deficit be projected for any subsequent year. Favorable investment rates
during the term of this issue may generate sufficient earnings on fund balances, includ-
ing contract prepayments, to avoid any deficits.

PROPERTY TAX INFORMATION
Assessment Procedures: Under Oregon law, property is appraised and assessed at 100
percent of its true cash (market) value. Uniformity of assess-
ment is required by the Oregon State Constitution and to achieve this end, only state
certified appraisers may appraise real property for tax purposes. By law, each property
must be physically reappraised at least once every six years. Between physical apprais-
als, the County Assessor annually updates the values listed on the assessment roll, based
on the annual index of market sales data for each classification of property. This process
is required to conform with the State requirement that all property classes be assessed
annually at or within 5% of 100% of true cash value.
The County Board of Equalization is required by law to meet each May to examine and
equalize the assessment rolls.
Public utility property is centrally assessed by the Oregon Department of Revenue.
Tax Levies and Collections: The tax levy consists of the County's budgeted tax require-
ment less estimated offsets for certain in -lieu payments.
Under Oregon law, the tax rate is computed by dividing the levy requirement by the
assessed valuation of the County. The amount which the County receives during the fis-
cal year will vary from the levy due to prepayment discounts (up to 3% if the entire tax
bill is paid by November 15), tax delinquencies, receipts from back taxes, penalties and
the sale of foreclosed properties. In budgeting, a tax deferral and delinquency allowance
is usually included, which includes up to 3% of the levy that will not be received due to
the discounts. In its 1980-81 budget, the County used a 6.5% allowance. In figuring
total levy collections to date, County Assessors adjust rolls so that a 100% collection rate
is obtainable if there are only discounts and no delinquencies.
The 1979 Legislature changed tax payment procedures. Formerly paid in quarterly in-
stallments, taxes due for the 1980-81 tax year and thereafter are payable in three install-
ments on November 151. February 15 and May 15, thereby dropping the prior fourth
payment on August 15.
Since the fiscal year ends June 30, the final August 15 payment made the collection rate
for years prior to 1980-81 lower; however this payment was not "delinquent" and was
counted toward the proper levy in the recent collection rates. For 1980-81 and thereafter,
the collection rate will reflect actual current year collections during each fiscal year.
Formerly, taxes on real property not paid by August 15 were declared delinquent; as of
1980-81 the delinquency will be declared on May 15. Taxes on personal property become
delinquent whenever any installment is not paid on time. Regardless of their term, in-
stallment payments after their due date accrue interest at the rate of 1% per month until
paid. Three years after taxes have become delinquent, real property is subject to fore-
closure. Personal property is subject to seizure 90 days after delinquency.
As each year's taxes for all taxing bodies within a county are collected, the money is
placed in an unsegregated pool and each taxing body shares in the pool on the basis of
its tax rate regardless of the actual collection experience within each taxing body. There-
fore, in application, the amount of each taxing body's levy becomes a county -wide levy,
and the tax collection record of each taxing body becomes a pro rata share of the total
tax collection record of all taxing bodies within the County. Thus, an overall collection
rate of 90% of the county -wide levy indicates a 90% tax levy collection for each taxing
body. Until such time as distribution of tax monies is authorized by the Tax Collector,
all interest earned on deposits to the unsegregated account is credited to the County.

Lumber and wood products employment was sharply reduced during the first half of 1980,
but most firms in the industry have since restored employment to near pre -recession
levels. However, the industry has recently reached a plateau in its recovery due to in-
creases in mortgage interest rates. Building construction in 1980 was about 20% below
the record-breaking 1979 pace, but is considered vigorous in view of high mortgage rates
and depressed economic conditions.
Over the past several years, the major contributor to economic growth has been expansion
in recreation /vacation activity and resident population growth. Employment in construc-
tion, real estate and finance has grown to support activity in property sales and resi-
dential, vacation home and commercial construction. In addition, the development of
recreation -oriented business has created many low-paying seasonal jobs in the service and
trade industries which appear to have attracted a sizeable population of nonresident young
people. Expansion of facilities at Mt. Bachelor ski area include two new lifts already in
construction and an additional five lifts that have been approved. Presently, the resort
operates seven ski lifts.
Central Oregon Community College, located two miles west of Bend, is a two year college
offering programs in the liberal arts, vocational education, developmental studies and com-
munity education to residents of Central Oregon. Current enrollment is 1,600 full-time
and more than 2,000 part-time students.

Board of Commissioners
DESCHUTES COUNTY'
Bend, Oregon
We have examined the basic financial statements of the various funds and account
groups of DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON for the year ended June 30, 1980, as listed
in the accompanying contents.
Except as noted in -the following paragraph, our examination was made in accord-
ance with the provisions of the "Minimum Standards of Audit Reports, Certifi-
cates, and Procedures for Oregon Municipal Corporations", and in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, our examination in-
cluded such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
The Circuit Court Trust Account was not available for our examination. The trust
account is used by the circuit court to receive and disburse court ordered child
support payments. We are unable to express an opinion on the transactions in
this account for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1980. Since this account is a
separate trust account under control of the County Clerk we have not included
the transactions nor beginning or ending balances in this report.
In our opinion, except as noted above, the aforementioned financial statements
present fairly the financial position of the various funds and account groups
of DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON at June 30, 1980, and the results of operations of
such funds for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted account-
ing principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
The accompanying supplemental schedule and related information presented under
"Additional Information" are not necessary for a fair presentation of the basic
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
but are presented as additional analytical data. This information has been sub-
jected to the tests and other auditing procedures applied in the examination of
the basic financial statements mentioned above and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

CETA Payroll Program VOL 40 PAF 450
The County participated in the CETA Program during 1978-79. A review of this
program indicated compliance with Federal guidelines. Employees hired under the
program were certified by the State Department of Human Resources as to their
eligibility.
Other State Funded Programs
The County participated in various State grants. A review of each of the grants
indicated compliance with the requirements of the program.
In addition to our examination of the program grants, they are subject to re-
view by the various agencies.

The Circuit Court Trust Account was not available for our examination for the year
ended June 30, 1980.. We feel that the inclusion of this account in the examina-

capacity of the COUNTY. We recommend that the County Board of Commissioners take
steps to ensure that the County Clerk keep the accounting records of this trust
account on a timely basis.

Note 6 - Pension Plan
DESCHUTES COUNTY participates in the State of Oregon Public Employees Retirement System,
(PERS). All employees of the County are covered by the plan after six months of employ-
ment, except employees under -Comprehensive Employment Training Act, (CETA). The PERS is
a defined benefit plan to which employees and employers both contribute.
The rate of employee contribution is established by law. The rate of employer contribu-
tion is set by the Public Employees Retirement Board, based on actuarial valuation. A
separate contribution rate is determined for each public employer. The employer contri-
bution rate for DESCHUTES COUNTY for fiscal year 1979-80 was 9.01 percent of qualified
employee compensation. The total pension expense for the County in fiscal year 1979-80
was $345,152.
The most recent actuarial valuation of PERS as of December 31, 1979 indicated that there
was an unfunded liability for benefits due current employee participants in the plan.
That unfunded liability for DESCHUTES COUNTY as of December 31, 1979, the latest date
for which such information was available from the Retirement Board, was $1,079,288 after
taking into account PERS assets allocated to DESCHUTES COUNTY of $1,130,967.
The rate of employer contribution established by the Board for the period July 1, 1980,
to December 31, 1980, is 9.90 percent. The.rate based on the December 31, 1979 actua-
rial valuation starting January 1, 1981 will be 9.18 percent. These rates are subject
to change as a result of any subsequent valuations.
Note 7 - Deferred Compensation Plan
DESCHUTES COUNTY by Commission action, authorized a deferred compensation plan to be
made available to its employees wherein they may execute an individual agreement with
the County for amounts earned by them not to be paid until a future date when certain
circumstances are met. These circumstances are: Termination by reason of death, dis-
ability, resignation, or retirement. Payment to the employee will be made over a per-
iod not to exceed 15 years. The deferred compensation plan is an unqualified plan
under the Internal Revenue Code. '
Moneys accumulated by the County under its deferred compensation plan have been de-
posited with Equitable Savings and Loan Association. These deposits are not subject
to the collateral requirements of Oregon law.
Amounts accumulated by the County under the deferred compensation plan are, under Ore-
gon law, excluded from resources for budgetary purposes. Such amounts represent a gen-
eral liability by the County to its employees whose rights are equal to but no greater
than the rights of other general creditors with respect to such amounts. Similarly,
disbursement of funds to employees under the plan, once circumstances of termination
occur, are not included as expenditures for budgetary purpose.,
The amount of the funds on deposit under the plan as of June 30, 1980, is $137,017 which
is attributable to the accumulation of amounts deferred since the inception of the plan,
and of satisfying the legal requirements for excluding such amounts as a budgetary re-
source, and does not represent a segregation of fund balance with respect to these ac-
cumulations which grants any preference to the claims of one group of creditors over
another.

mated at this time. Some of the claims are covered by insurance.
