community reading program and"Author!Author!"lecture series.
As a 35-year resident of Deschutes County, I have seen our
region experience big changes, including economic prosperity,
growth,and recession. Throughout this time,our libraries have
been an invaluable resource, providing assistance to job seek- .
ers and businesses;sponsoring programs to discuss community
issues; helping parents nurture our next generation of readers;
and ensuring children,teens,and adults have the resources they
need for learning,leisure,and life. ,
I believe we have an exceptional library system and we must
continue to work hard to identify cost-effective,creative methods
to ensure all county residents have access to library materials and
programs. We can accomplish this by investigating innovative
delivery methods,developing and maintaining partnerships with
public and private entities,and ensuring that facilities and services
keep pace with changing community needs. I ask for your vote
to keep our libraries moving forward.

The Deschutes County Rural Fire Protection District #2
(DCRFPD#2)ensures that our residents receive fire and emer-
gency medical services(EMS)when they need them.We do this
through a contract with the City of Bend/Bend Fire and Rescue
Department. DCRFPD#2 owns all five fire stations serving the
City and Rural Fire District.These are leased to the City as part
of the fire and EMS service contract. The District works closely
with the Fire Department to effect changes to increase service
quality.The District recently purchased computer software that,for
the first time,allows Fire Department management to predict the
effects of changes in staffing,traffic patterns,land development
and facilities on the quality of services.This will help to meet the
Districts goals of saving lives and property.
DCRFPD#2 is an active member of a strong collaborative of
federal, state and local agencies focused on the prevention of,
survival during,and recovery after wildfires.Wildfire/Forest Fire is,
the number one natural disaster in our area.Fortunately,it is one
disaster we can defend against before it occurs.The District pro-
vides ongoing education,training and grants to assist homeown-
ers prepare their homes,lands and livestock to survive wildfires.
The collaboration,trust and mutual respect that has been built
between DCRFPD#2 and the City of Bend Fire and Rescue
Department serves as a model for other Oregon fire districts and
cities. I ask for your vote so we can continue to develop strong
fire and emergency medical services for all residents.

minimum of one officer on patrol at all times.
The District has a $0.55 local option tax that expires this year.
If this local option tax renewal is not approved, there will be a
budget shortfall. One option to address the shortfall would be a
reduction in patrol hours.
