An Order Submitting to the Voters of the
Deschutes County 911 County Service
District a Five-Year Local Option Tax Levy
to Fund 911 Emergency Services
* ORDER NO.2013-010
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Deschutes County, Oregon, acting as the
governing body of Deschutes County 911 County Service District (Board), has determined that a five-
year local option tax levy should be submitted to the qualified voters of the Deschutes County 911
County Service District (District) as established by Section 11, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution
in order to provide adequate funding and permit the proper operation of the District; and
WHEREAS, the Board considers adequate funding of the District as necessary and in the
public interest; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that the current levy will expire June 30, 2013; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that anticipated District revenues from the District's permanent
tax rate of $0.16 per $1000 of assessed value would be insufficient to provide adequate 911 services
without the funds generated by the proposed local option tax levy; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to submit the question of authorizing a five-year local option tax
levy to the registered voters of the District; now, therefore,
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON,
acting as the governing body of the DESCHUTES COUNTY 911 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT,

( The following shall be the ballot title of the measure to be submitted to the district's voters:
Caption 10 words
Five-year Local Option Tax for 911 Operations.
Question 20 words
Shall County 911 Service District impose $0.23 per $1000 of assessed value for operations for five
years beginning 2013-2018?
This measure renews current local option taxes.
Summary 175 words
I The current taxing authority for the Deschutes County 911 County Service District is a permanent rate
limitation of $0.16 per $1000 of assessed value. This rate is based on a tax base passed by voters in 1994.
In 2008 Voters approved a five-year operating levy of $0.23 per $1000 of assessed value. That levy will
expire June 30, 2013.
Funds provided by this five-year local option tax would be used to:
• Maintain revenue to continue 911 operations at current levels;
• Continue the Emergency Preparedness Network (EPN), which notifies residents by telephone of
emergency situations in their area; and
• Make technology improvements to include transitioning to Next Generation 911 to enhance efficiency
of the public safety agencies within Deschutes County.
i
This measure would provide operational funding and space for 911 emergency services for five years.
The proposed rate would raise approximately $3,957,211 in 2013-2014; $4,075,927 in 2014-2015;
$4,198,205 in 2015-2016; $4,324,151 in 2016-2017; and $4,453,875 in 2017-2018.
The following authorized district official hereby certifies the above ballot title is true and complete.
