EXPLANATORY STATEMENT This information submitted by Jim Carlton, Police Chief This Bond request is submitted to Redmond voters on City of Redmond, Oregon the unanimous vote of the City Council.The existing Po- lice Department building has served the community well for over 60 years,but it is worn out,dangerous and needs to be replaced.The City is unable to pay for a new Police Facility out of existing funds. The existing Police Department Building (located at Ev- ergreen and Seventh) was originally built in 1937 as a one story police and fire department using surplus rock from the Redmond Airport. Later, a second story was added to the building.The building is home to police of- ficers, a municipal court judge,juvenile officer and sup- port staff.Unfortunately the building is no longer safe to continue operations and it is not cost effective to reno- vate or add on. In 1995,the City hired Durfee and Gritch to evaluate the building.A team of architects and engineers concluded that the 10,000 sq. ft. building's structural integrity and mechanical/electrical systems are sub-standard. Floors are uneven,roof framing may be unsafe under snow drifts, the unreinforced rubble stone wall would fail in a signifi- cant earthquake and roofing systems allow leaking into wall cavities.They reported that the building is not worth renovating. What is needed is a facility that will permit the City's law enforcement professionals to perform their job in a safe and efficient manner.Some of the current ills that a new facility would correct include: providing a holding facility where officers can separate and hold prisoners in a safe manner;booking room that separates prisoners from staff, witnesses and victims; and an adequate evidence and storage room. 9-6 CITY OF REDMOND MEASURE NO. 9-42 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR ARGUMENT IN FAVOR The public needs to make a choice to allow law enforce- The members of the Redmond Police Department are ment officials to perform their jobs in a safe and efficient dedicated to provide quality police services to our citi- manner or continue to work in its existing dangerous en- zens.We are a growing community with increasing crime vironment within a condemned facility.

There is no record of the existence of any cul- ture or civilization without a god - does anyone believe that ours will be the first? The truth we must teach our children is that in- tegrity in one's ethics and moral code is indispensable in attaining self-esteem,the honor of others,and a fulfilling, prosperous life.Many wise men lived honorable and dis- tinguished lives before Charles Darwin"discovered"that we're all just evolved apes, implying that we may live ac- cordingly. Thomas Jefferson wrote, "this nation is wholly ungovernable by law should we lose our Christian val- ues."We now teach Darwin's atheist foundation. Our Department of Education says we must address the prob- lem of teen pregnancy by teaching abortion, condoms and birth control. Teen pregnancy is a symptom of the more insidious problem of moral decay.Traditional Ameri- can values, accountability before God, and esteem for virtue are the answer to teen pregnancy, drug use, and crime for we who have soul and conscience. Evolved apes have fewer options. I promise to defend your right as a parent to es- tablish and nurture a solid foundation of religious faith within your child,upon which one may build a moral code and upright character. I will do my best to restrain the State's attempt to indoctrinate a permissive (and Godless) twenty-first century generation. This information furnished by Mark Latta.

My formal for- estry education is tempered by a quarter century's expe- rience.This history in urban forestry and grounds main- tenance will prove beneficial to District's citizens, board and staff.The next four years are pivotal in molding the park and recreation system with which Bend begins the 21 st century.As we pass into 2000,the entire community needs to renew their past support in protecting and ex- panding Bend's signature asset. Presently the ramifications of Measure 47 are unclear. The impacts are thought to range from moderate to fi- nancial ruin.The creation of alternative, stable and con- tinuous funding is of paramount importance.In the interim, maintenance at current levels, of the District's facilities and programs is the priority.We as a community must be good land stewards of what we have first. The last decade has seen a tremendous population ex- plosion in the Bend urban area.This coupled with tax lim- iting measures has severely restricted the Park District's ability to keep pace with need.Subject to available fund- ing development of additional facilities and programs is certainly a most desperate need. As a longtime Bend resident citizen and professional, I value this community treasure and pledge "my Nichols worth" Sincerely, Scot Nichols This information furnished by Brad J.Martin.

An active Park and Recreation District provides numer- ous benefits for individuals and the collective community. From just plain fun to reduced crime and safe places for individuals and families to gather.
