Explanatory Statement This measure maintains the current Fire District tax rate as well as the current levels of fire and emergency medical services. This local option operating levy has been in effect since 1998 and was last renewed in 2009 by the voters of the Fire District. In June 2014,the levy expires and the District is asking voters to renew the local option levy at the same rate,again for five years, starting in July 2014. The tax rate remains the same at$0.64/1000 assessed valua- tion.A home valued at$100,000 would continue to pay$64 per year($5.33/month). Estimated annual tax to be received by the District is$700,582. The local option operating levy provides essential funds that: • Maintains two 24 hour/seven days a week paramedic units in service. The District responds to at least two or more concurrent emergency calls 305 times a year. • Maintains at least one paramedic/firefighter officer in the District at all times to ensure on-duty response to multiple simultaneous calls and/or when all paramedic units are out of the District and transporting patients to Bend. The District has three or more simultaneous calls 72 times a year. eial"Deschutes Counfy 2013 Special Election Voters'Pamph., 9-4 1 Measures Measure 9m89 Arguments nts ,,.., >, ._.,......_..,.,, ,,.a....

It replaces an expiring 10-year capital bond levy with an average tax rate of$0.23/1000 assessed valuation with a capital local option levy with a tax rate of$0.23/1000 as- sessed valuation starting in July 2014. Every ten years since 1974 Fire District voters have approved 10-year capital bonds for the purposes of capital facility,apparatus and equipment acqui- sition and replacement. The advantage of a local option levy is the tax payers do not pay for the cost of issuing a new bond and there is no interest payment on a local option levy. By switching to a capital operating levy, instead of a bond,the District will be debt free for the first time since it inception and will save over $336,000 in interest and bank fees over the life of this measure while maintaining levels of service. The District has$8.1 million in capital assets and a long-range capital plan to replace facilities, fire trucks, ambulances and equipment in a responsible, efficient, and systematic manner. If approved, the tax rate would remain the same at$.023/1000 assessed valuation.A home valued at$100,000 would continue to pay$23 per year($1.92/month). Estimated annual tax to be received by the District is$214,000.

Bend-La Pine Schools is the 7'"largest school district in Oregon, with 27 schools and more than 16,600 students. Enrollment is expected to increase by another 3,000 students in the next ten years (according to Portland State University's Center for Population Research). Nearly half of the District's school buildings are more than 30 years old. Some were built more than 70-years ago—and the oldest was built in 1918.Though these buildings have been well maintained, many are in need of major maintenance and repair to extend their life and usefulness. oters,Ps nphlef 013 Spec3fffcfat Ce es Cunty2 rT 9-8 Measures Measure 9-92 Arguments ....;.
