TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Convene as Governing Body of the Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District
Consideration of approval of Chair signature of the Jefferson County Abstract Acceptance Form
from the election of the May 21,2013 for the 9-1-1 Local Option Levy.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
On May 21, 2013, the voters of Deschutes and Jefferson counties within the boundaries of the
Deschutes County 911 County Service District voted on whether to approve a five-year operations levy
for the district at $0.20 per $1000 of assessed value. The voters approved the levy.
ORS 255.295 requires the county clerk to prepare an abstract of the vote within 20 days of the election.
The county clerks of both counties delivered the respective abstracts to the Deschutes County Legal
Counsel. While it is not required by statute, the Jefferson County Clerk requests that the district's
election official sign the Abstract Acceptance Form and return it to the Jefferson County Clerk within
30 days after receipt of the Abstract. This form will assure the Jefferson County Clerk that the correct
abstract for the ballot measure was submitted to the district.
Since the Board is the governing body of the district and the district does not have a separate elections
official, staff requests that the Board authorize Chair signature of the Jefferson County Abstract Form.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Motion: Directing the Chair sign the Abstract Acceptance Form from Jefferson County for the Abstract
of votes from the 9-1-1 Local Option Levy election held on May 21, 2013.
ATTENDANCE: Laurie E. Craghead.
