(Name of County or Counties) The following shall be the ballot title o£ the measure to be submitted to the dish-ict's voters on this date: CAPTION (10 Words) Form 9-1-1 district with permanent rate, withdraw from existing district. QUESTION (20 Words) Should replacement 9-1-1 district be formed with $0.39/$1000 assessed value permanent tax rate limit beginning 2012-2013, and current territory withdrawn? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent. Page 1 -Notice o£ County Measure Election Exhibit A to Order 2012-030 2. 0 12 L<~ 11 LJ,DCPage 1 SUMMARY (175 Words) This measure creates the Deschutes 9-1-1 County Service District for emergency communications and withdraws the territory within Deschutes County from the existing 9-1-1 district. The purpose is to provide long-term stable funding for emergency communications throughout Deschutes County. This may include future technology upgrades to provide faster and more accurate ambulance, fire and law enforcement emergency response. The existing district has a permanent tax rate limit of $0.1618/$1000 assessed value. State law does not permit this to be increased unless a replacement district is formed. The balance of the funding for the existing district comes from a temporary, five-year local option levy of $0.23 that expires 2013. Thus, the total current taxing authority for the existing district is $0.3918. The new district would have a permanent rate limit of $0.39. The intent, however, is to initially levy only $0.33, resulting in a tax decrease. If formation is approved, the intent is to merge the remaining portion of the existing district in Jefferson County into the new district in November. The following authorized district official hereby certifies the above ballot title is h'ue and complete.
