Text of measure
Question on the ballot:
| “ |
Shall County 911 Service District impose $0.20 per $1000 of assessed value for operations for five years beginning 2013-2018? |
” |
Summary:
| “ |
The current taxing authority for the Deschutes County 911 County Service District is a permanent rate limitation of $0.16 per $1000 of assessed value. This rate is based on a tax base passed by voters in 1994. In 2008 Voters approved a five-year operating levy of $0.23 per $1000 of assessed value. That levy will expire June 30, 2013. After hearing public comment, the Board desires to propose a reduced rate of $0.20 per $1000 of assessed value. Funds provided by this five-year local option tax would be used to: • Maintain revenue to continue 911 operations at current
levels; The proposed rate would raise approximately $3,442,774 in 2013-2014; $3,546,056 in 2014-2015; $3,652,438 in 2015-2016; $3,762,011 in 2016-2017; and $3,874,871 in 2017-2018.[1][2] |
