The following shall be the ballot title of the measure to be submitted to the district's vo ters on this date:
CAPTION (10 Words) Five-year Local Option Tax for 911 Operations.
QUESTION (20 Words) Shall County 911 Service District impose $ .23 per $1,000 of assessed value for

This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.
SUMMARY (175 Words)
This measure may be passed only at an election with at least 50 percent voter turnout.
The current taxing authority for the Deschutes County 911 County Service District is a tax base passed by
voters in 1994. Voters approved a four-year operating levy in 2003, which will expire June 30, 2007.
Funds provided by this five-year local option tax would be used to:
• maintain existing 911 services to an increasing population;
• continue the Emergency Preparedness Network (EPN), which notifies residents by telephone of
emergency situations in their area;
• update to a more efficient, cost-effective public safety records systems to accommodate growth
and technological changes; and
• help pay for space needed for dispatchers.
This measure would provide stable operational funding and space for 911 emergency services for five years.
The proposed rate would raise approximately $3, 357,638 in 2007-2008, $3,559,096 in 2008-2009, $3,772,642 in
2009-2010, $3,999,001 in 2010-2011 and $4,238,941 in 2011-2012.
