As Bend continues to grow it is essential that our parks,trail network and programs keep pace.The Park District,I believe, is committed to not only staying in step, but to making the highest caliber services,parks and facilities a signature of the Bend lifestyle.If chosen to serve on the board,I will work hard to maintain the fiscal soundness the District currently enjoys, while nurturing and cultivating the business and private alliances that create the excellent parks and programs our community is known for. I have a personal commitment to expanding our recreational playfields,via development of the Pine Nursery. I will work to further the completion of our interurban trail network,especially those connections along the Deschutes River Trail and to the Larkspur Trail on the east side of town. I feel strongly about providing services through our after-school and summertime programs to those underserved segments of our community. And I will foster the public/private collaborations that ensure Bend's continued reputation as a place where enjoying the great outdoors is a way of life.

OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Bend-La Pine School District EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: University of Oregon, Master of Library Science; Southern Il- linois University,Bachelor of Science in Education PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Deschutes Public Library District Board I have been privileged to serve on the Deschutes Public Library District board since its formation in 1998. Since that time the district has developed into a dynamic library system with superb service to county residents. Here are some of the achievements: • All five branch libraries are now open 7 days a week, including evening hours. • Over 300,000 items including books, CDs, videos, and DVDs are available to residents anywhere in the county. • In 1999,the total number of items checked out in the five branch libraries totaled 700,000;last year there were over 1.6 million circulations! • A state-of-the-art webpage provides access to electronic databases with thousands of full-text magazine articles that can be printed out at home. Items from any branch library can be requested online from home and collected at a branch of one's choice. "Live"reference service is also available online. • Each of the branch libraries offers quality programs for adults,children,and teens on a regular basis. With completion of the new Sisters library in October 2005,four of the five branches will have been either newly constructed or remodeled within the last 5 years.These improvements,as with all others, have been accomplished without requesting additional revenue from the voters. Instead, the board and management have committed to a policy of"Growth pays for Growth"—meaning that revenue generated by growth in the community has been used to pay for additional demands in service brought on by that growth. Promises made to voters in 1998 have been kept and today we can all take great pride in our library system.As re-elected board member, I will continue to advocate for efficiency and excellence in library service.

(information furnished by Thomas Coffield, Summary:This measure may be passed only at an elec- Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation District.) tion with at least a 50 percent voter turnout. Setting our sights ahead for our children and community,the District will use five year local option tax revenue to finance general operations including,but not limited to,funding for new and current programs; and for capital improvements. Of the $.35 per$1,000 assessment proposed,$.24 per$1,000 will be used for program development for such programs as tutoring,The Cabana Teen Club,pre-school,wilderness programs,art and cultural programs,sports programs and adult programs. The remaining$.11 per$1,000 assess- ment will be used to help fund such projects as a seniors' activity room,a community auditorium/gymnasium,an ad- ditional classroom for after school classes and community meetings,and skate park equipment. The proposed rate will raise approximately$260,000 in 2005-06; $276,000 in 2006-07; $292,200 in 2007-08; $308,600 in 2008-09;$324,200 in 2009-10. On a$300,000 home the assessment would be$8.75 a month or$105.00 a year. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT WHAT:The Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation District(SOAR District) is proposing a Local Option tax mea- sure to help preserve programs,add new programs and help develop new facilities.The Local Option funds would be used to continue and expand such programs as after school tutoring, to increase the availability of art and cultural programs, and wilderness programs,to expand the pre-school classes,and to help us expand our efforts to reduce drug and alcohol use among Sisters teens by providing more positive options,such as the Cabana Teen Club. A portion of the Local Option funds will be used to help SOAR keep up with facility needs in the community.A Seniors Activity Center,an additional classroom/meeting room,audito- rium/gymnasium and skate park equipment are all part of our future capital construction needs. WHY:Sisters is one of the most rapidly growing communities in Oregon and the SOAR District needs to develop both programs and facilities that will meet the demands created by this growth. Funding from state and federal grants that have helped the SOAR District provide many of our programs have disappeared because of budget cuts.Combine this with the fact that private grantors do not support ongoing programs.They want to help start programs,but they do not want to help continue programs, creating a major funding problem. HOW MUCH: It is estimated that the Local Option measure will raise in excess of$260,000 each year in a five year period for Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation District. The revenue from the local option will be allocated with$.24 per thousand assessed evaluation dedicated to programs and new program development;with$.11 per thousand assessed ARGUMENTS BEGIN ON NEXT PAGE 9-2 Official Deschutes County May 17, 2005 Special Election Voters'Pamphlet SISTERS ORGANIZATION FOR ACTIVITIES AND RECREATION DISTRICT Measure No. 9-31 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR ARGUMENT IN FAVOR This statement,urging support for a local option tax for Sisters Organization for Activities and Recreation(SOAR) SOAR,is labeled as an"argument."As one who was in- has been Sisters Middle School's most important partner volved in the founding of SOAR,and who has watched with during my five-year tenure as the principal of the school.The awe the amazing growth and need fulfillment of the program, following are just a few examples of services and support I see no argument as to the community benefit of SOAR.

Question: Shall the northern 4.34 acres of Tax Lot 15- 10-04-1109, currently owned by Richard Carpenter, be annexed to the City? Summary:Approval of measure would rove elector- ate y'A PP l f this ld idlt p ate consent to annex 4.34 acres of property to the City of Sisters. With voter approval,annexation of the 4.34 acres would become effective if the related urban growth bound Ar ary amendment is approved and acknowledged through the land use process and the Sisters City Council adopts " r� r an annexation ordinance. The property to be annexed consists of the northern 4.34 ,,;• acres of Tax Lot 15-10-04-1109, and is located on the north side of Barclay Drive,just west of the Conklin Bed& Breakfast. This property is currently zoned Exclusive Farm Use(EFU). Upon annexation the Light Industrial(LI)Zone would be applied to the property. A map of the proposed annexation area will accompany 4 ballots. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT Approval of this measure would give voter consent to extend the Sisters city limits to include the northern 4.3 acres of Tax Lot 15-10-04-1109.The property is currently located just outside the city limits.The property is located north of Barclay Drive adjacent to the Conklin's Guest House property. Map of proposed annexation The Sisters City Charter requires voter approval of all annexa- tions.Voter approval of this measure would provide authoriza- tion to annex the property into the City of Sisters. Before an- nexation could occur,the property would also need to receive approval through a separate land use planning process for inclusion in the Sisters Urban Growth Boundary.That process would require one or more hearings and planning approval in page a 9-11 accordance with state land use planning laws and the City and p g County Comprehensive Plans. Upon annexation,city zoning would be applied to the property for larger version of map in accordance with the City's comprehensive plan and zon- ing ordinance. It is anticipated that the zoning would be light industrial or commercial,depending upon the outcome of the planning process. The property is surrounded on the south,west and north by property that is within the city limits.Those surrounding prop- erties are zoned commercial and light industrial.The Conklin Guest House property to the east was approved by city voters for annexation in 1998,but has not yet been annexed. (Information furnished by M.David Elliott, Mayor, City of sisters.) ARGUMENTS BEGIN ON NEXT PAGE 9-4 Official Deschutes County May 17,2005 Special Election Voters'Pamphlet CITY OF SISTERS Measure No. 9-32 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR Approval of Annexation Ballot Measure Supports Orderly Development In Sisters Annexation of this 4.3-acre parcel would support orderly development in Sisters and provide for local control,for the following reasons: • The property is an "island", surrounded on three sides by commercial and industrial property al- ready inside the city limits and on the fourth side by Conklin's Guest House, approved by city voters for annexation in 1998. Annexing this property therefore would include more land inside the city,but without resulting in urban sprawl. • The property is now zoned for farm use,but it has not been farmed in years. The property is un-irrigated and it will not support profitable agriculture. Farm use of the property would not be compatible with the urban commercial and industrial uses likely to develop on surrounding properties. • The property can easily be connected to city sewer and water because city sewer and water lines are already adjacent to the property. Also,including the property inside the City could allow the city to extend urban services through the property, if appropriate, in order to serve the surrounding industrial property in an orderly manner. • Including the property in the city would allow land use permitting decisions for the property to made by the City of Sisters in a City land use process. Land use decisions for the property are now be made by county planners in a County land use process. • The property would be proposed for City light industrial or commercial zoning, which would be consistent with zoning on surrounding properties. This would allow the property to be planned and developed in conjunction with the surrounding properties. • Subsequent rezoning of the property would occur in a separate planning process, allowing for public involvement. • Annexing the property would add to the City's tax base. Support orderly development in Sisters. Vote `yes" to authorize annexing this property into the Sisters city limits. (Information furnished by Richard L.Carpenter.)

MARY BETH _ z = PEARL-GENT I = " OCCUPATION: Educational Consultant—Concordia University, Redmond School District. OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Bend-La Pine School District EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: University of Oregon, Master of Library Science; Southern Il- linois University,Bachelor of Science in Education PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Deschutes Public Library District Board I have been privileged to serve on the Deschutes Public Library District board since its formation in 1998. Since that time the district has developed into a dynamic library system with superb service to county residents. Here are some of the achievements: • All five branch libraries are now open 7 days a week, including evening hours. • Over 300,000 items including books, CDs, videos, and DVDs are available to residents anywhere in the county. • In 1999,the total number of items checked out in the five branch libraries totaled 700,000;last year there were over 1.6 million circulations! • A state-of-the-art webpage provides access to electronic databases with thousands of full-text magazine articles that can be printed out at home. Items from any branch library can be requested online from home and collected at a branch of one's choice. "Live"reference service is also available online. • Each of the branch libraries offers quality programs for adults,children,and teens on a regular basis. With completion of the new Sisters library in October 2005,four of the five branches will have been either newly constructed or remodeled within the last 5 years.These improvements,as with all others, have been accomplished without requesting additional revenue from the voters. Instead, the board and management have committed to a policy of"Growth pays for Growth"—meaning that revenue generated by growth in the community has been used to pay for additional demands in service brought on by that growth. Promises made to voters in 1998 have been kept and today we can all take great pride in our library system.As re-elected board member, I will continue to advocate for efficiency and excellence in library service.
