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).
