Report of Independent Auditors
Deschutes County Commissioners
Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District
(A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon)
Bend, Oregon
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities and the major fund of the
Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District (the District), a component unit of Deschutes County,
Oregon,as of and for the year ended June 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table
of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and the major fund of the
District,as of June 30, 2025,and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America (GAAS)and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing
Standards).Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the
relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Financial Reporting Entity
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the District and do not purport to, and
do not, present fairly the financial position of Deschutes County, Oregon as of June 30, 2025,or the
changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.Our opinions are not modified with respect to this
matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 7
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s
ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date,
including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report
that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS
and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood
that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user
based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we
• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal
control—related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis, schedule of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balance – budget and actual – General Fund (budgetary comparison), schedule of proportionate
share of the net pension liability (asset), schedule of employer contributions, schedule of changes in
total OPEB liability, and notes to required supplementary information, as listed in the table of
contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context.
8 DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon
We have applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis, schedule
of proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset), schedule of employer contributions,
schedule of changes in total OPEB liability, and notes to required supplementary information in
accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing
the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an
opinion or provide any assurance.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The budgetary comparison information
is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The budgetary
comparison information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures
in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the budgetary comparison information is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements. The schedule of property tax
transactions, as listed in the table of contents, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements.Such information is the responsibility of
management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS.In our opinion,
the schedule of property tax transactions is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the financial statements. The other
information comprises the introductory section but does not include the basic financial statements
and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the
other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and
the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other
information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 9

December 12,2025 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and
on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing,and
not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control over financial reporting

and compliance.

County, Oregon, we offer readers of the District’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of
the financial activities of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Financial Highlights
■The assets and deferred outflows of resources of Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District
exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at June 30, 2025, by $15,674,912. Of this

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to Deschutes County 9-1-1 County
Service District’s basic financial statements. These basic financial statements comprise three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements; 2) fund financial statements; and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements
themselves�
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of Deschutes
County 9-1-1 County Service District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the District’s assets and deferred outflows of
resources and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Over
time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position
of Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District is improving or deteriorating�
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the District’s net position changed during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Changes in net position are reported when the underlying event giving rise
to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in this statement for some items; for example, accrued property taxes and accrued vacation that will
result in cash flows in future fiscal periods.
Each of these government-wide financial statements, Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities,
show the functions of the District that are supported primarily by taxes and intergovernmental revenues
(governmental activities)� The governmental activity of the District is public safety�
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and local government entities, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. Each of the
funds of the District is classified as governmental funds.
Governmental funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements.

DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 11
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements,
it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented
for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. A reconciliation from the
Governmental Fund Balance Sheet for the General Fund to the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position
and a reconciliation from the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund
Balance of the General Fund to the Government-Wide Statement of Activities have been included in this report�
The District reported activity in one governmental fund during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
The District adopts an annual budget for its General Fund� A budgetary comparison statement has been
provided for this fund to demonstrate compliance with the annual budget�
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements.

Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities
and deferred inflows of resources by $15,674,912 at June 30, 2025.

The District uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens and are therefore not available for future
spending�

used to meet the District’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors�

of $0.04250 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. For FY 2026, the District’s tax levy will remain at a rate of

24 DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A. The District
The Deschutes County 9-1-1 Service District (the District), a component unit of Deschutes County, Oregon, was
established under ORS 401�720 on April 13, 1988, for the purpose of providing emergency communication
(9-1-1) services for Deschutes County (the County)� The County Board of Commissioners is the governing body
of the District�
B. Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities)
report information on all of the activities of the government� Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities,
which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The District has no business-type activities
or fiduciary funds.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific
function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or
directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment; and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function
or segment� Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as
general revenues�
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting� Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a
liability is incurred� Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied� Grants and
similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met. It is the District’s policy to first apply restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes
for which both restricted and unrestricted net position is available�
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus
and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable
and available� Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period� For this purpose, the District considers revenues
to be available if they are collected within sixty days of the end of the current fiscal period. Revenues received
after this period are considered unavailable� Expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under
accrual accounting� However, expenditures related to compensated absences and other post-employment
benefits are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes associated with the fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been
recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable
and available only when cash is received by the District�
The District reports the following governmental funds:
General Fund - The General Fund is utilized to account for the transactions of the District� Property taxes
and law enforcement contracts are its principal sources of revenue� Expenditures are for the operation
and administration of the District�

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
D. Budget Policy
The District prepares a budget for all funds, which meets the requirements of state laws� The resolution
authorizing appropriations for each fund sets the level by which expenditures cannot legally exceed
appropriations. Appropriations are established on a programmatic basis. Budget categories are: public safety,
debt service, transfers, and contingency. The detailed budget document contains specific detailed information
for the above-mentioned expenditure categories� Unexpected additional resources may be added to the
budget through the use of a supplemental budget and appropriations resolution� Original and supplemental
budgets may be modified by the use of appropriation transfers between the levels of control. Appropriations
lapse as of year-end�
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
E. Reporting Entity
The District’s financial statements include the accounts of all District operations. The District is includable as a
component unit in the financial statements of Deschutes County, Oregon since the District’s governing board
is comprised of the Deschutes County Commissioners; the District also has a seven-member executive board
that oversees operations. The District is included in the financial statements of the County as a special revenue
fund, a blended component unit�
New Accounting Pronouncements
GASB Statement No� 101, Compensated Absences - The objective of this Statement is to better meet the
information needs of financial statement users by updating the recognition and measurement guidance for
compensated absences. That objective is achieved by aligning the recognition and measurement guidance
under a unified model and by amending certain previously required disclosures. This Statement requires that
liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has
been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means� A liability should be recognized for leave
that has not been used if (a) the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b) the leave accumulates,
and (c) the leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through
noncash means� See Note 12 for more information related to the implementation of GASB 101�
GASB Statement No� 102, Certain Risk Disclosures - The objective of this Statement is to provide users of
government financial statements with essential information about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities
due to certain concentrations or constraints� This Statement requires a government to assess whether a
concentration or constraint makes the primary government reporting unit or other reporting units that report
a liability for revenue debt vulnerable to the risk of a substantial impact� Additionally, this Statement requires
a government to assess whether an event or events associated with a concentration or constraint that could
cause the substantial impact have occurred, have begun to occur, or are more likely than not to begin to occur
within 12 months of the date the financial statements are issued. There was no impact to the current year
financial statements with the implementation of GASB 102.
GASB has issued the following pronouncements that may affect future financial position, results of operations,
cash flows, or financial presentation of the County upon implementation. These pronouncements have not
yet been implemented by the County:

F. Cash, Investments in External Investment Pool, and Investment Income
Cash and investments are comprised of funds held by the Deschutes County Treasurer in the County’s cash and
investment pool. The District’s cash and investments participate in this pool rather than specific, identifiable
securities� The District’s share of County pooled cash and investments can be drawn upon demand, and
therefore, the entire amount on deposit with the County is considered cash and cash equivalents� Interest
earned on pooled investments is allocated monthly based on the District’s average daily balance in relation to
the total investment pool� It is not practical to determine the investment risk, collateral, or insurance coverage

for the District’s share of these pooled investments� This pool generally includes demand deposits, investments
in the Oregon State Treasurer’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), obligations of the United States
Treasury and United States Government agencies and instrumentalities, certain high-grade commercial paper,
and corporate bonds. This policy is in accordance with ORS 294.035, which specifies the types of investments
authorized for municipal corporations� Investments are reported at fair value�
Information about the pooled cash and investments is included in the County’s annual comprehensive financial
report and may be obtained by contacting the Deschutes County Finance Department, 1300 NW Wall Street,
Suite 200, Bend, Oregon, 97703�
G. Accounts Receivable
The District considers all receivables as fully collectible; therefore, no allowance for uncollectible accounts has
been established�
H. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include land improvements, equipment, vehicles, intangibles, and construction in progress,
are reported in the government-wide financial statements. In the governmental fund statements, capital assets
are charged to expenditures as purchased� Capital assets are recorded at historical cost� Per GASB 72, Fair Value
Measurement and Application, donated assets are recorded at acquisition value as of the date of the donation�
Capital assets are defined by the District as assets with an initial cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful
life greater than one year. Additions or improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the
useful life of an asset or that significantly increase the capacity of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred
for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are
capitalized as projects are constructed.
Depreciation on exhaustible assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities with
accumulated depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position and is calculated on the straight-line basis
over the following estimated useful lives:
Asset Years
Land improvements 10-15
Equipment, vehicles, and intangible 5
I. Lease Assets
Lease assets are assets which the District leases for a term of more than one year� The value of leases is
determined by the net present value of the leases at the County’s incremental borrowing rate at the time of
the lease agreement, amortized over the term of the agreement�
J. Subscription Assets
Subscription assets are subscription-based information technology arrangements with a term of more than
one year� The value of subscription assets is determined by the net present value of the subscription at the
County’s incremental borrowing rate at the time of the license agreement, amortized over the term of the
agreement�
K. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position and/or the Governmental Fund Balance
Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial
statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to
future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then.
Deferred outflows arising from the District’s participation in the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System
(OPERS) and the District’s post-employment retirement plan comprise this statement element�

Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District
DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 27
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
In addition to liabilities, the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position and/or the Governmental Fund
Balance Sheet will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate
financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies
to future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Deferred
inflows of resources, as a result of the accounting for the District’s participation in OPERS and post-employment
retirement plans, are reported on the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. Deferred inflows of
resources are reported on the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet of the General Fund as a result of reporting
using the modified accrual method. The government fund reports unavailable revenues from property taxes
and services. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period the amounts
become available�
L. Compensated Absences
Accumulated vested vacation pay is accrued as it is earned� Accrued vacation payable is recorded at actual
accrued hours times current pay rates plus related fringe benefits. Sick pay is also accrued as a liability
based on the historical rate of usage� The amount represents a reconciling item between the fund-level and
government-wide presentations�
M. Leases and Subscriptions Payable
In the government-wide financial statements, leases and subscriptions payable are reported as liabilities in
the Statement of Net Position. In the governmental fund financial statements, the present values of lease and
subscription payments are reported as other financing sources.
N. Pension Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension asset/liability and pension expense, information about the fiduciary
net position of the Oregon Public Employee Retirement System cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit
pension plan (benefit plan) and additions to/deductions from the benefit plan’s fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the benefit plan. For this purpose, benefit payments
(including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the
benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
O. Other Post-Employment Benefits Obligation (Total OPEB Liability)
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to OPEB and the OPEB expense information about the fiduciary net position of the District’s
Retiree Health Plan (the Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plan’s fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the Plan recognizes benefit
payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
P. Total OPEB (Asset)/Liability
The total OPEB asset or liability is reported as non-current asset or as non-current liability, as applicable, in
the Government-Wide Statement of Net Position. The asset or liability reflects the present value of expected
future payments�
Q. Property Taxes/Unavailable Revenue
Property taxes are assessed on a July 1 - June 30 fiscal year basis. The taxes are levied as of July 1 based on
assessed values as of January 1� Property tax payments are due in three equal installments, on November 15,
February 15, and May 15. A discount of 3% is available if taxes are paid in full by November 15 and a discount
of 2% is available if two-thirds of taxes are paid by November 15. Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien
July 1 and are considered delinquent if not paid by the following May 15� Deschutes County is the tax collection
agent for the District. The District’s FY 2025 tax levy was $11,986,949.
Tax revenue is considered available for expenditure upon receipt by the County, which serves as the
intermediary collecting agency� Uncollected property taxes are shown on the government funds balance sheet

as receivables� Collections within sixty days subsequent to year-end have been accrued and the remaining
taxes receivable are recorded as unavailable revenue on the modified accrual basis of accounting since they
are not deemed available to finance operations of the current period.
R. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources. The District reports the following subcategories of net position:
■Net investment in capital assets represents the difference between capital assets less accumulated
depreciation and amortization, and outstanding lease and subscription liabilities�
■Unrestricted represents all other net positions that are not restricted and do not meet the definition of
net investment in capital assets�
S. Fund Balance Reporting
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No� 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental
Fund Type Definitions (GASB 54), defines the different types of fund balances that a governmental entity must
use for financial reporting purposes.
GASB 54 requires the fund balance amounts to be properly reported within one of the fund balance categories
listed below:
A� Nonspendable includes amounts such as fund balance associated with inventories, prepaids, long-term
loans and notes receivable, and property held for resale (unless the proceeds are restricted, committed,
or assigned)�
B� Restricted fund balance category includes amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes
stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or enabling legislation�
C� Committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal action of the District’s governing board (the District’s highest level of decision-
making authority)� Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a
similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation�
D� Assigned fund balance classification is intended to be used by the government for specific purposes
but does not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed. Assignments are made by
the District Administrator based on the District Governing Board’s direction�
E� Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the District’s general fund and includes all
spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications.
The District reduces restricted amounts first when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both
restricted and unrestricted (committed, assigned, or unassigned) amounts are available� The District reduces
committed amounts first, followed by assigned amounts and then unassigned amounts when expenditures
are incurred for the purpose for which amounts in any of those unrestricted fund balance classifications could
be used�
T. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Note 2 - Cash and Investments
As of June 30, 2025, the District had a deposit of $15,135,760 with the Deschutes County Treasurer. All the
District’s deposits were adequately insured or collateralized by securities held by the pledging financial
institution in the financial institution’s name during the year.

Pension
Benefits
The OPERS retirement allowance is payable
monthly for life� The allowance may be selected
from 13 retirement benefit options that are
actuarially equivalent to the base benefit.
These options include survivorship benefits and
lump-sum refunds. The basic benefit is most
commonly based on years of service and final
average salary. A percentage (2.0% for Police
and Fire employees, 1.67% for General Service
employees) is multiplied by the number of years of
service and the final average salary. Benefits may
also be calculated under a formula plus an annuity
(for members who were contributing before
August 21, 1981) or a money match computation if
a greater benefit results. Monthly payments must
be a minimum of $200 per month or the member
will receive a lump-sum payment of the actuarial
equivalent of benefits to which they are entitled.
Under Senate Bill 1049, passed during the 2019
legislative session, the salary included in the
determination of final average salary will be limited
for all members beginning in 2021� The limit was
equal to $238,567 as of January 1, 2025, and is
indexed with inflation every year.
Police and Fire members may purchase increased
benefits that are payable between the date of
retirement and age 65�
A member is considered vested and will be
eligible at minimum retirement age for a service
retirement allowance if they have contributions in
each of five calendar years or have reached at least
50 years of age before ceasing employment with a
participating employer (age 45 for Police and Fire
members)� General Service employees may retire
after reaching age 55� Police and Fire members
are eligible after reaching age 50� Tier One
General Service employee benefits are reduced
if retirement occurs prior to age 58 with fewer
than 30 years of service� Police and Fire member
benefits are reduced if retirement occurs prior to
age 55 with fewer than 25 years of service� Tier
Two members are eligible for full benefits at age
60� The plans are closed to new members hired on
or after August 29, 2003�
The ORS 238A Defined Benefit Pension Program
provides benefits to members hired on or after
August 29, 2003� This portion of the OPSRP
provides a life pension funded by employer
contributions. Benefits are calculated with the
following formula for members who attain normal
retirement age:
Police and Fire: 1.8% multiplied by the number
of years of service and the final average salary.
Normal retirement age for Police and Fire
members is age 55 (effective January 1, 2025)
or age 53 with 25 years of retirement credit� To
retire under the Police and Fire classification, the
individual’s last 60 months of retirement credit
preceding retirement eligibility must be classified
as retirement credit for service as a police officer
or a firefighter.
General service: 1.5% multiplied by the number
of years of service and the final average salary.
Normal retirement age for General Service
members is age 65 or age 58 with 30 years of
retirement credit�
Under Senate Bill 1049, passed during the 2019
legislative session, the salary included in the
determination of final average salary is limited for
all members beginning in 2021� The limit was equal
to $238,567 as of January 1, 2025, and is indexed
with inflation every year.
A member of the pension program becomes
vested on the earliest of the following dates:
the date the member completes 600 hours of
service in each of five calendar years, the date the
member reaches normal retirement age, or, if the
pension program is terminated, the date on which
termination becomes effective.

Disability
Benefits
A member with 10 or more years of creditable
service who becomes disabled from other than
duty-connected causes may receive a non-duty
disability benefit. A disability resulting from a
job-incurred injury or illness qualifies a member
(including OPERS judge members) for disability
benefits regardless of the length of OPERS-covered
service� Upon qualifying for either a non-duty or
duty disability, service time is computed to age 58
(55 for Police and Fire members) when determining
the monthly benefit.
A member who has accrued 10 or more years of

Contributions
OPERS funding policy provides for monthly employer contributions at actuarially determined rates� These
contributions, expressed as a percentage of covered payroll, are intended to accumulate sufficient assets
to pay benefits when due. This funding policy applies to the OPERS Defined Benefit Plan and the Other
Post-Employment Benefit Plans. Ultimate authority for setting and changing the laws governing contributions
rests with the Oregon legislature�
Employer contribution rates during the period were based on the December 31, 2021, actuarial valuation,
which became effective July 1, 2023. The State of Oregon and certain schools, community colleges, and
political subdivisions have made unfunded actuarial liability payments, and their rates have been reduced�
Effective January 1, 2020, Senate Bill 1049 requires employers to pay contributions on reemployed OPERS
retirees’ salaries as if they were active members, excluding IAP (6%) contributions. Reemployed retirees do
not accrue additional benefits while they work after retirement. The District’s employer contributions for the
year ended June 30, 2025 were $1,042,329, excluding amounts to fund employer specific liabilities, or employer
specific side-accounts.
The rates, presented as a percentage of covered payroll, for the County in effect for the fiscal year ended June 30,
2025, were:

At June 30, 2025, the District reported a liability of $8,171,764 for its proportionate share of the net pension
liability� The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2024, and the total pension liability used to
calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2022� The
District’s proportion of the net pension liability was based on the District’s projected long-term contribution
effort as compared to the total projected long-term contribution effort of all employers.

Note 9 - Participation in Public Employees Retirement System (Continued)
Rates of every employer have at least two major components:
Normal Costs: The economic value, stated as a percent of payroll, for the portion of each active member’s total
projected retirement benefit that is allocated to the upcoming year of service. The rate is in effect for as long
as each member continues in OPERS-covered employment. The current value of all projected future normal
cost rate contributions is the Present Value of Future Normal Costs (PVFNC)� The PVFNC represents the portion
of the projected long-term contribution effort related to future service.
Unfunded Actuarial Liability Rate (UAL): If system assets are less than the actuarial liability, a UAL exists. UAL
can arise in a biennium when an event such as experience differing from the assumptions used in the actuarial
valuation occurs� An amortization schedule is established to eliminate the UAL that arises in a given biennium
over a fixed period of time if future experience follows assumptions. The UAL Rate is the upcoming year’s fixed
component of the cumulative amortization schedules, stated as a percent of payroll�
The employer’s PVFNC depends on both the normal cost rates charged on the employer’s payrolls and the
underlying demographics of the respective payrolls. For OPERS funding, employers have up to three different
payrolls, each with a different normal cost rate: (1) Tier 1/Tier 2 payroll, (2) OPSRP general service payroll, and
(3) OPSRP police and fire payroll.
Since many governments in Oregon have sold pension obligation bonds and deposited the proceeds with
OPERS (referred to as side accounts or transitional liability or surplus), adjustments are required. After each
employer’s projected long-term contribution effort is calculated, that amount is reduced by the value of the
employer’s side account, transitional liability/surplus, and the pre-SLGRP liability/surplus (if any)� This is done
as those balances increase/decrease the employer’s projected long-term contribution effort because side
accounts are effectively prepaid contributions.
Looking at both rate components, the projected long-term contribution effort is the sum of the PVFNC and
UAL. The PVFNC part of the contribution effort pays for the value of future service while the UAL part of the
contribution effort pays for the value of past service not already funded by accumulated contributions and
investment earnings. Each of the two contribution effort components are calculated at the employer-specific
level. The sum of these components across all employers is the total projected long-term contribution effort.
The County’s share in the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System is 0.724%, which is a decrease of 5.08%
from its proportion presented as of June 30, 2024. The County’s allocation to the District is 5.079%, an increase
of 0.13%, and the District’s share of OPERS is 0.037%, which is .001% less than prior year.
For the year ended June 30, 2025, the District recognized a pension expense of $636,300. At June 30, 2025, the

Actuarial Assumptions
The employer contribution rates effective July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, were set using the entry age
normal actuarial cost method. For the Tier One / Tier Two component of the OPERS Defined Benefit Plan, this
method produced an employer contribution rate consisting of (1) an amount for normal cost (the estimated
amount necessary to finance benefits earned by the employees during the current service year), and (2) an
amount for the amortization of unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities, which are being amortized over a fixed
period with new unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities being amortized over 22 years�
For the OPSRP Pension Program component of the PERS Defined Benefit Plan, this method produced an
employer contribution rate consisting of (a) an amount for the normal cost (the estimated amount necessary
to finance benefits earned by the employees during the current service year), (b) an actuarially determined
amount for funding a disability benefit component, and (c) an amount for the amortization of unfunded
actuarially accrued liabilities, which are being amortized over a fixed period with new unfunded actuarially
accrued liabilities being amortized over 16 years�

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 6.90 percent for the Defined Benefit Pension
Plan. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan
members and those of the contributing employers would be made at the contractually required rates, as
actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to
be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term
expected rate of return on pension plan investments for the Defined Benefit Pension Plan was applied to all
periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Oregon Public Employees Retirement System — RHIA
Plan Description
RHIA is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined benefit, other postemployment benefit plan administered
by OPERS� As a member of OPERS, the County contributes to RHIA for each of its eligible employees� RHIA pays
a monthly contribution (currently $60 per month) toward the cost of Medicare companion health insurance
premiums of eligible retirees� Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 238�420 established this trust fund� Authority to
establish and amend the benefit provisions of RHIA resides with the Oregon Legislature. RHIA is closed to new
entrants hired on or after August 29, 2003. OPERS issues a publicly available financial report that includes
financial statements and required supplementary information.
That report may be obtained by writing to Oregon Public Employees Retirement System, PO Box 23700, Tigard,
OR 97281-3700� The reports and other related schedules including plan assumptions, methods, and provisions
may also be found on the PERS website at https://www.oregon.gov/pers/EMP/Pages/GASB.aspx.
Contributions
Participating public employers are contractually required to contribute to RHIA at a rate assessed each
biennium by OPERS. For FY 2024, the rate is 0.0% of annual covered payroll for Tier 1/Tier 2 employees and
OPSRP employees� The OPERS sets the net-retiree healthcare rate based on the estimated OPEB expense
of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement
75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The OPEB expense
represents the annual cost allocated to the current year (service cost) and the amortization of any unfunded
accrued liabilities of the plan� The unfunded accrued liabilities are amortized over a closed period equal to
the average of the expected remaining lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB through the OPEB
plan (active employees and inactive employees)� The District’s contributions to RHIA were consistent with the
net-retiree healthcare rate as charged by OPERS. The District paid $29 for RHIA during fiscal year 2025.
Actuarial methods and assumptions for the RHIA plan mirror those of the PERS retirement system itself and
can be found in Note 9 - Participation in Public Employees Retirement System� Healthcare cost trends are not
applicable to this plan as the benefits are a fixed dollar amount per month.
Note 10 - Other Post - Employment Benefits (Continued)
The County’s share of the RHIA plan for FY 2025 is .67837200% and the County’s allocation to the District is
5.80%. The proportionate share for each employer participating in the Plan was determined by the actuaries
based upon each employer’s contribution to the RHIA program during the measurement period� The District’s
proportionate share increased by .034452479% from the prior measurement period.
The following presents the District’s proportionate share of the net OPEB liability (asset) for RHIA calculated
using the discount rate of 6�90 percent as well as what the District’s proportionate share of the net OPEB liability

Other Post-Employment Benefits – Deschutes County Plan
Plan Description
The District participates in Deschutes District’s single-employer defined benefit post-employment healthcare plan
that provides medical benefits to eligible retired employees of Deschutes County and Deschutes County 9-1-1
Service District and their beneficiaries.
Benefits Provided
Eligibility for subsidized retiree health benefits requires retirement from the County with more than 15 years of
service� Retirees with more than 15 years of service but less than 30 years of service receive a monthly County
contribution towards their monthly insurance premiums until they are 65 years of age or until eligible for Medicare,
in accordance with a schedule recommended by the Employee Benefit Advisory Committee (EBAC) and approved
by the Board of County Commissioners. Retirees with 30 or more years of service contribute $90 per month
towards their medical insurance and $5 per month towards their dental insurance while the County covers the
remainder of the premiums� Retirees with less than 15 years of service can continue their medical coverage
but must pay 100% of the premium amount.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At the time of most recent valuation, June 30, 2025, there were 1,114 active employees who could be eligible
for the plan� As of that date, 48 retirees and surviving spouses were insured through the County Plan� The
County pays benefits as they come due. As a result, there are no assets being accumulated by the County to
pay for future benefits. Resources received in excess of paying benefits as they come due are set aside for
the payment of future benefits.
Actuarial Assumptions and Other Inputs
The Total OPEB liability in the June 30, 2025, actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Measurement date June 30, 2025
Valuation date June 30, 2025
Report date June 30, 2025
Actuarial cost method Entry age normal
Discount rate 4.71%
Inflation 2.40%
Salary increases 3.40%
Mortality rates Based on SOA Mortality Tables
Healthcare cost trend rate 7.90% Trending down to 4.04% over 52 years. Applies to calendar years

DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-1-1 COUNTY SERVICE DISTRICT | A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon 41
Note 10 - Other Post - Employment Benefits (Continued)
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 4.71%. The County’s OPEB Plan is an unfunded plan;
therefore, the discount rate was set to the rate of the tax-exempt, high-quality 20-year municipal bonds, as of the
valuation date�
The actuarial cost method used in the valuation of this plan is the Entry Age Normal Method� Under this
method, the actuarial present value of the projected benefits of each active employee included in the valuation
is allocated on a level dollar basis over the service of the active employee between assumed Entry Age (date
of hire) and assumed Exit Age(s)� The portion of this actuarial present value allocated to the valuation year is
called the service cost for that active employee� The sum of these individual service costs is the Plan’s Service
Cost for the valuation year. The present value of benefits for current retirees plus the accumulated value of
all prior service costs is the Total OPEB liability� Under this method, the actuarial gains (losses), as they occur,
reduce (increase) the Total OPEB liability� The Deschutes County Retiree Health Plan is deemed “unfunded” in
accordance with the relevant GASB statements�
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future� Examples include assumptions about future
employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend� Amounts determined regarding the Total OPEB liability
of the plan and the annual OPEB expense of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are
compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future� The schedule of changes in
the District’s Total OPEB liability, presented as required supplementary information, presents trend information
about whether the Total OPEB liability is increasing or decreasing over time relative to covered-employee
payroll� The measurement date of the actuarial results presented is June 30, 2025�

Sensitivity of the Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate and Healthcare Cost Trend Rate
Changes in the discount rate affect the measurement of the total OPEB liability. Lower discount rates produce
a higher total OPEB liability and higher discount rates produce a lower total OPEB liability� The following
presents the total OPEB liability of the plan calculated using the discount rate of 4.71%, as well as what the
District’s total OPEB liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point

produce a lower total OPEB liability and higher healthcare trends produce a higher total OPEB liability� The

Note 11 - Risk Management
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft, damage and destruction of assets; errors
and omissions; injuries to employees and others; and natural disasters, for which the District participates in
the County’s self-insurance program� There have been no settlements in excess of insurance coverage and
reserves in any of the past three fiscal years.
Note 12 - Adoption of New Standard
GASB 101 – Compensated Absences
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 the District implemented GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated
Absences� GASB 101 requires that liabilities for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not
been used and (2) leave that has been used but not yet paid in cash or settled through noncash means� As a
result of implementing GASB 101, the District has increased beginning balances for compensated leave as of
July 1, 2024. The beginning balance of compensated leave was increased by $7,813.
Note 13 - Tax Abatement
As of June 30, 2025, four property tax abatement programs are administered as authorized by Oregon Revised
Statutes:

Note 13 - Tax Abatement (Continued)
Property for Low-income Rental (307.517)
The intent of the Property for Low-income Rental program is to assist in providing housing equity throughout
the state and reduce homelessness� Newly constructed rental housing occupied by low-income persons or
property held for a reasonably short period of time for future development as low-income rental housing is
exempt from property taxes for 20 years if the property is:
■Located in a city or county that adopts standards and guidelines to be used in administering applications
for exemption�
■Built after the city or county adopts the state statutes�
■Approved by the city or county upon application�
■For projects requesting an exemption after October 5, 2015, any additional criteria established by the
city or county prior to the application�
■Rented only to persons with income at or below 60 percent of area median income based on U�S�
Department of Housing and Urban Development criteria�
■Rented at rates that reflect the full property tax reduction.
Legislation in 2015 (HB 2130) amended the law to allow cities or counties to establish reasonable maximum
holding times for land designated for low-income housing development� The legislation also permitted cities
or counties to elect additional qualifying criteria before granting the exemption� Legislation in 2019 (HB 2130)
extended the sunset to June 30, 2029�
Note 13 - Tax Abatement (Continued)
Enterprise Zone Businesses (285C.175)
The purpose of the Enterprise Zone Business program is to stimulate and protect economic success by
providing tax incentives for employment, business, industry and commerce and by providing adequate levels
of complementary assistance to community strategies for such interrelated goals as environmental protection,
growth management, and efficient infrastructure. Qualified real and personal property owned or leased and
newly placed into service by a qualified business firm in an enterprise zone is exempt from property tax for
three to five consecutive years.
A new or expanding business can qualify if the business meets all of the conditions outlined in ORS 285C�135
and 285C�200, such as applying locally for authorization prior to construction, engaging in eligible business
operations, entering into a “first source” hiring agreement with local publicly funded job training providers, and
increasing the number of jobs in the enterprise zone by the greater of one additional job or 10 percent. To be
exempt, the property owned or leased by the business must satisfy applicable timing, location, minimum cost,
and other requirements described in ORS 285C.180. Property is disqualified if used for an ineligible activity,
such as retail operations, or if the business firm substantially curtails operations or closes during the exemption
period. When property becomes disqualified, previously exempt taxes must be repaid.
Construction in Process in an Enterprise Zone (285C.170)
The purpose of the Construction in Process in an Enterprise Zone program is to stimulate and protect
economic success by providing tax incentives for employment, business, industry, and commerce and by
providing adequate levels of complementary assistance to community strategies for such interrelated goals
as environmental protection, growth management and efficient infrastructure (ORS 285C.055). Property
undergoing construction, addition, modification, or installation is exempt from property taxation for up to
two consecutive years provided that the property satisfies all the program requirements. This exemption
is effectively an extension of expenditure 2.011, Commercial Buildings Under Construction, specifically to
properties that are expected to qualify for a standard enterprise zone exemption when they are completed� If a
property is exempt under both 2�011, the combined duration of the exemptions cannot exceed two consecutive
years�
Commercial Buildings Under Construction (307.330)
The purpose of Commercial Buildings Under Construction is to encourage business investment in plant and
equipment by delaying property taxes until a facility can generate cash revenue. Manufacturing firms do not
commonly experience immediate cash flow. Certain commercial and industrial buildings are exempt from

property taxation while they are under construction� A new structure or an addition is exempt from property
taxation if meeting the following criteria on the January 1 assessment date:
■The property is under construction, including additions to an existing structure�
■No part of the new structure or improvement has been or is in service for any Commercial use or
occupancy�
■The property is being built for the purpose of earning income�
■The property is not to be occupied for at least one year after construction began in the case of any
non-manufacturing facility�
■The property is not centrally assessed by the Department of Revenue
The exemption cannot be claimed for more than two consecutive years� Machinery and equipment at the
building site also qualifies if it will be installed as real property in the structure. The property is listed on the
county property tax assessment roll, but the assessment is canceled if proof that the property meets the above
requirements is furnished to the assessor by April 1 of each assessment year�
Solar Projects (2015 Laws c. 571)
The intent of the Solar Projects program is to provide tax relief and tax stability to utility scale solar production
property owners and developers, which subsequently encourages the development of utility scale solar
production (Note 3 following ORS 307.175). Property constituting a solar project located in an unincorporated
county area is exempt from property taxes when an agreement has been made between the governing body
of the county and the owner of the solar project. The agreement is limited to 20 consecutive years. The last
day an agreement could be made was January 1, 2022�

Report of Independent Auditors on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in
Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
Deschutes County Commissioners
Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District
(A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon)
Bend,Oregon
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States,the financial statements of the
governmental activities and the major fund of the Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District
(the District), a component unit of Deschutes County, Oregon,as of and for the year ended June 30,
2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s
basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12,2025.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control)as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s
internal control.Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis.A material weakness is a deficiency,or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the District's financial statements will not be prevented,or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis.A significant deficiency is a deficiency,or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of
this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies.Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify
any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.However,material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
District’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

(A Component Unit of Deschutes County, Oregon)
Bend,Oregon
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States the financial statements of the governmental
activities and the major fund of Deschutes County 9-1-1 County Service District (the District), a
component unit of Deschutes County, Oregon, as of and for the year ended June 30,2025,and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 12,2025.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s basic financial statements are
free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts,and grant agreements, including provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS)
as specified in Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 162-010-0000 to 162-010-0330, of the Minimum
Standards for Audits of Oregon Municipal Corporations,noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance
with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly,we do not express such an
opinion.
We performed procedures to the extent we considered necessary to address the required comments
and disclosures which included,but were not limited to,the following:
•Accounting records and internal control
•Public fund deposits
•Budget
•Insurance and fidelity bonds
•Investments
•Public contracts and purchasing
In connection with our testing, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe the District was
not in substantial compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements, including the provisions of ORS as specified in OAR 162‐010‐0000 through
162‐010‐0330 of the Minimum Standards for Audits of Oregon Municipal Corporations.
