Exhibit "A"
CAPTION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOND TO EXPAND AND REMODEL EXISTING JAIL
QUESTION
Shall Deschutes County expand and remodel the existing jail by issuing general
obligation bonds not to exceed $44 million? If the bonds are approved, they will be
payable from taxes on property or property ownership that are not subject to the limits of
sections 11 and l lb, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution.
SUMMARY
Passage of this measure would fund capital construction and improvements,
including:
• Adding space to provide for up to 250 additional general population inmates.
• Adding room for approximately 50 inmates with mental health, medical and/or
disciplinary issues to enable jail staff to provide additional treatment at the jail,
avoiding added costs and safety issues.
