Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Public Notice NOTICE OF MEASURE ELECTION AND NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE Notice is hereby given that on November 7, 2017 an election will be held in Grant County, Oregon. Notice is hereby given that a ballot title for a measure referred by the County Court of Grant County has been filed with the County Clerk of Grant County on August 9, 2017. The ballot title meets the single subject requirement. The following Ballot Title shall be submitted to the qualified electors thereof: REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE BY THE COUNTY COURT OF GRANT COUNTY 12-69 MEASURE FOR ADOPTION OF A LOCAL OPTION TAX TO COVER COSTS TO OPERATE 911 SYSTEM QUESTION: Shall County impose Local Option Tax to fund the 911 system not currently funded through the State im- posed telephone tax. This Measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent (ORS 280.070(4)(a)). SUMMARY: Currently the John Day 911 Emergency Communications Center is funded through a combination of State imposed monthly tax of 75 cents per telephone line or, for prepaid wireless telecommunications services, 75 cents per retail transaction; and, through payments received from Grant County, City of John Day, Forest Service and Blue Mountain Hospital. With a current cost of operating the system of $456,649, the current funding sources are not sufficient to operate the system. The County is referring to the voters a local option tax that is designed to create a sus- tainable public safety solution to retain local 9-1-1 dispatch capabilities. If adopted, the local option tax will commence collection in the 2019 tax year and provide annual funding for the 9-1-1 center for up to five years. A local option levy of 38 cents per $1000 assessed value would raise $208,916 which sum is the approximate amount needed to cover the annual 9-1-1 center deficit. If the local option levy fails, the 9-1-1 center may need to be consolidated with another center. The estimated tax cost for this Measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the County assessor at the time of estimate and may reflect the impact of early payment discounts, compression and the collection rate (ORS 280.075). Show Off STUFF Sell Your STUFF An elector may file a petition for review of this ballot title in Grant County Circuit Court no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 18, 2017. Brenda J.
