Before the Board was Consideration of Board Signature of Order No. 2015-055, Initiating Formation of a Deschutes County Chapter 451 Service District for Emergency Communications Services; Initiating Withdrawal of Properties Currently in the Emergency Communications Services District formed by Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District; and Setting a Public Hearing Date of January 13, 2016. Steve Reinke explained the process to get to where they are today, in an attempt to establish permanent funding. He was tasked with this when he joined the County a few years ago, along with updating the local radio communications system. It was determined that the seven different radio systems should be centralized at 9-1-1. The cost was first estimated at $13 million, so he has worked with the State, and they are finalizing an agreement that will lower the local cost to $6.5 million. All of the equipment will match and work seamlessly together. Long-term operational needs were discussed, which includes replacing the new radio system when it eventually becomes obsolete. All other boards and councils being served have agreed they want to be included and have signed resolutions to that end, and agree with the levy amount. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 7, 2015 Page 2 of 4 They will be able to provide better call receiving services to all, and the fire services agencies will benefit. Law enforcement will have a dedicated channel during peak times, and the public safety agencies' user fees won't be necessary, so they can use those funds to purchase mobile phones and equipment. They will have enough capacity to be able to ask other agencies to join, such as schools, water districts and others. The existing combined rate of 36 cents would go to a maximum of 42.5 cents, if they levy the full amount. The 9-1-1 user board and stakeholders agreed that this would be done only when necessary, and would be determined at each year's budget meetings. They are being fiscally responsible and this will result in more efficiency for all agencies. Mr. Anderson said that the La Pine City Council still needs to meet and formally approve, but are supportive. Chair DeBone said that public safety is number one and what people expect the most. This is the next generation in radio systems and some being used right now are obsolete. Commissioner Unger is very supportive, and noted that they are very fiscally responsible and would only ask the entire amount when necessary. The public needs to understand and support this. Nothing can be more important than emergency services when needed. Mr. Reinke said 9-1-1 is the bridge for all agencies to be effective. They have a great staff and excellent support from law enforcement so this has been properly crafted to work well for all. Chair DeBone explained that the 9-1-1 user board consists of police chiefs, fire chiefs and representatives of other agencies who work together. Commissioner Unger thanked Mr. Reinke for his leadership in working with the State on reducing the cost locally. UNGER: Move approval of Order No. 2015-055. DEBONE: Second. VOTE: UNGER: Yes. DEBONE: Chair votes yes. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, December 7, 2015 Page 3 of 4 6. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA None were offered. 7.

Page 2 of 3 -ORDER NO. 2015-055 Dated this 7`h day of December 2015 THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON ANTHONY DEBONE, Chair ALAN UNGER, Vice-Chair ATTEST: Recording Secretary TAMMY BANEY,Commissioner Page 3 of 3 -ORDER NO. 2015-055 Economic Feasibility Statement for the Formation of the Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District I. Summary Statement The permanent tax rate (PTR) for the Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District (former District) was established in 1988 at $.1618 per thousand of assessed value. Since then, the population within the former District's has grown beyond expectation and the originally established PTR has been inadequate for several years. This resulted in the need to seek local option levies every five years to pay for the increased demand for District services. The former District's funding has not been stable because there has been uncertainty about whether voters would approve additional levies. Forming a new Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District (District) with an increased PTR will eliminate the funding uncertainty and better allow the District to budget to provide services vital to the public and the area's emergency responders. Budgeting for the District is based on revenues received from property tax collection, state 9-1-1 telephone taxes, user and contract fees and miscellaneous revenue. The proposed maximum permanent tax rate of$.425 is intended to fund ongoing and future operational and capital needs for 9-1-1 call answering; dispatching for public safety responders; and the District's new responsibility of owning, operating, maintaining and eventually replacing the area's regional radio and data communications system. IL Service / Function Analysis The 9-1-1 call receiving and dispatch services the District will provide are that of the former District with the exception of the new responsibility of owning, operating, maintaining and eventually replacing the area's regional radio and data communications system. Centralizing the existing disparate radio systems previously owned by individual agencies under the District will be more cost effective and will significantly improve public safety communications with better coverage, higher system reliability and enhanced responder interoperability between agencies and their state and Federal partners. III. Budget Analysis A forecast was made for 9-1-1 center operations, new radio system maintenance and operations, and eventual radio system replacement based on the following assumptions: • Higher assessed values are forecast for the next few years. • 2.5% annual CPI growth. • 6% annual medical cost growth. • 24% PERS rates in 2020 and beyond. • 94%property tax collection rate. The table below shows the projected levy rate necessary to support the budget forecast for each year through 2030 using the assessed value assumption in the first line. 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 AV Forecast by Year 4.50% 4.25% 4.00% 3.75% 3.50% 3.25% 3.00% Total Rate Forecast 0.3823 � 0.4169 0.4131 0.4233 0.4206 0.4199 0.4203 Change 0.0205 0.0551 0.0513 0.0615 0.0588 0.0581 0.0585 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 AV Forecast by Year 3.00% 3.00% 3.00% 3.00% 3.00% 3.00% 3.00% Total Rate Forecast 0.4208 0.4213 0.4219 0.4225 0.4232 0.4240 0.4248 Change 0.0590 0.0595 0.0601 0.0607 0.0614 0.0622 0.0630 IV.
