Clerk's office. It contains information about candidates and measures from local jurisdictions within
the boundaries of Deschutes County.
This pamphlet contains the ballot measures and explanatory statements designed to provide impartial
information. It also contains paid arguments for or against certain measures. Candidates may also
pay to place a statement in the pamphlet.

I am writing on behalf of the Sunriver Owners Association
(SROA) Board of Directors to express the board's support of
Deschutes County Ballot Measure #9-144 for the Sunriver
Service District's local option capital levy. The funds from this
levy will be used to facilitate the remodel and expansion of the
current fire station into an integrated public safety facility to
house both the fire and police departments.
The existing fire station was constructed 25 years ago, and
the police department is in office space that is part of SROA:s
administration building. Neither structure meets today's safety
and security requirements for essential emergency services.
The public safety facility expansion project will include the
the future.
cost-effective option for an expansion and remodel. Although
SROA owns the fire station and the land it sits on, the associa-
tion has agreed to sell the current fire department building to
the district and grant the district a long-term lease of the land.
With a projected cost of $18 million, Deschutes County's
Board of Commissioners has already shown its strong sup-
port of the project by pledging $8 million in county -collected
Transient Room Tax funds. The district is providing $3 million,
leaving the remaining $7 million balance to be collected
through the tax levy.
The Sunriver Service District's first responders have served
and supported our community for many years... it's now our
turn to support them, for all of us.

Redmond Police have outgrown current station.
The current police station was designed for a 36-person
department. Today, more than 60 officers and staff serve
Redmond. A new facilitki will cost less to maintain and will meet
the need of Redmond's population growth and public safety
needs for 30 years.
Improved victim privacy.
The current police station fails to provide adequate privacy
for crime victims to be interviewed. A new, modern facility will
ensure victims have the privacy they deserve and are kept
separate from criminals and the public.
A sensible financial plan for our growing community.
The funding plan for a new public safety facility is smart and
fiscally responsible. City Council committed to capping the
total cost of the Public Safety Facility at $49M. Council also
agreed to make investments leveraging City and Federal re-
sources to lower the GO Bond from $49 million to $40 million.
The $9 million buydown reduced the average cost per home
by about 20%.
The time is now.
A 20-year general obligation (GO) bond allows the city of
Redmond to take advantage of low -interest rates and avoid
reducing funding to address the impacts of growth such as
maintaining streets and parks.

The Cloverdale Tolunteer Fire Fighters Association is asking
the residents of the Cloverdale area to help resolve a serious
problem facing the District.
For some time, the number of fire officers available to the
ably provide the full-time coverage needed for the safety of
our volunteers and to meet the state and mutual aid regula-
tions. The effect of increased call volume and a reduction in
the number of qualified volunteer officers has resulted in this
situation, and it will impact the level of service the volunteers
will be able to provide to the community.
As fire/medical volunteers and as residents ourselves, we are
asking the residents of Cloverdale to support the levy that
will be proposed in the upcoming May ballot. The Volunteer
Association believes that the levy approved by the Board of
Directors will solve the problem currently facing the District by
enabling it to hire two more paid fire officers.
The last in May #f 2#21 had -the bxif*14, A-YrAills-e
of resolving the immediate problem of officer staffing and also
to prepare for the future needs of the District by providing a
staffed ambulance in the station. We understand the majority
of residents whom voted indicated that this additional capabil-
ity was not desired. However, the primary difficulty of officer
staffing still remains.
This new levy has been reduced to the minimum viable solu-
tion for sustaining the current level of service that the District
o,rovides. In contrast to the levjW_mposed in May of 2021,Ahis-
levy will only cost 69 cents per 1,000 of assessed value. Then;
will also not be any operational change to the District or ad-
ditional direct shared costs with neighboring districts.

As a Cloverdale Volunteer Firefighter I am asking for your

staffing to the District's North station. This levy request is at a
"bare bones" minimum and will help your volunteers to keep
our community safe.
As is the case with most volunteer fire districts throughout the
nation, getting enough active firefighters is an ever-increasing
struggle. The time demands for certification requirements
grows each year. It is no wonder that it's difficult to recruit
and retain dedicated personnel as we ask them to take on a
dangerous than most paid jobs.
Speaking as a Volunteer Officer, it is paramount that the
residents of this district vote "yes" in support of this levy. We
desperately need two additional fire officers to keep our volun-
teers and community safe. This Levy will ensure that when the
call goes out, no matter the time of day or night, we will have
an experienced officer immediately responding.
On February 12th I attended the memorial of St Paul Volunteer
Firefighter Austin Smith who died from injuries sustained in an
explosion while battli a fire.. his is the worst n p tmare of vol-

could mean the difference in all of us making it back home.
Sixty-nine cents per $1000 is a small price to pay for the
ers. Please vote Yes and support your volunteers and com-
munity.

those years, and currently serve as a Lieutenant/Paramedic
and the EMS Coordinator. I volunteer because I believe it is
important to serve my community and I see this levy meeting
District needs and providing significant benefits.
What does Cloverdale gain with a YES VOTE?
-Qualified and paid fire officers staffed 24/7
-improved training for volunteers with staff available 7
days a week
-Consistent supervision of live-in students

investment is far greater than the cost. You may also experi-

I am VOTING YES because,
-The current staffing model is not sustainable with area
growth.
-Multiple examples of slow response times from volunteer
companies.
-Lack of qualified officers within the volunteer ranks to
meet response needs.
-Fire and EMS responses will be more reliable and
consistent.

MANAGING GROWTH
Affordable Housing: I pledge to preserve our high quality
of life for generations to come, to advocate for land use that
allows starter homes and middle income housing, while main-
taining our rural Central Oregon lifestyle. I pledge to oppose
new fees that unnecessarily raise the cost of home building
and to make sure our building and planning departments are
responsive to customers.
Sound Fiscal Policy: I believe government must live within
its means. I support balanced budgets and transparency. I cut
property tax rates in 2017 which keeps money in your pocket
where it belongs.

COMMON SENSE
Mandates: I fought and stopped overly restrictive COVID poli-

overreach.
Respect: I model mutual respect while working toward solu-

great place to live!
