 TAXES

• 1994 Bond - $20M

 $13.8M for New High School & $6.2M for Renovations

(Based on cost of Redmond’s new HS, replacing our HS would cost $50M+ today)

• 1994 Bond Approved @ Projected Tax Rate of $2.40

per $1,000 Assessed Value

• County Growth & Bond Refinancing have caused

rate to drop to $1.00

• 1994 Bond Fully Repaid by Early 2014

 ALTERNATIVE BOND SCENARIOS

• 1. RENOVATION ONLY AT ALL

FACILITIES: $20M Bond, 15 Yr. Term, Projected Tax Rate $1.00 per $1,000 Assessed Value

• 2. KEEP OCHOCO & CROOKED RIVER VIABLE

FOR 5 YRS. ONLY; Renovate all others for 15 yr. Life; $16M Bond, 12 yr. Term, Projected Rate $1.00

• 3. KEEP OCHOCO & CROOKED RIVER FOR 2

YRS ONLY; Renovate all others for 15 yr. Life; Build New Elementary School; $30M Bond, 20 yr. Term, Projected Rate $1.20

NOTE: $1M INCREASE IN BOND SIZE INCREASES TAX RATE BY 4 CENTS.

 JUSTIFICATION FOR RENOVATIONS

• Since 1994 Bond, only routine repairs, not major

renovation;

• With time, all parking lots, roofs, boilers, siding,

paint, plumbing fixtures, tile & wood floors, etc., need replacement;

• Safety/ building codes & ADA requirements change;
• Education changes: book libraries become

computer labs;

• Construction cost inflation is a fact of life.

Result: need for renovation never stops, and almost always costs less today than tomorrow.

 JUSTIFICATION FOR NEW ELEMENTARY

SCHOOL

• Replacement costs little more than full

modernization ($15M + / - vs. $15M + / -)

• Operating expense savings can be used to

“self-fund” renovation projects not included in bond ($250K+ annual savings)

• Projected tax rate significantly lower than rate

approved for 1994 Bond

• Projected tax rate lower than in neighboring

school districts

 JUSTIFICATION FOR NEW ELEMENTARY

SCHOOL (continued)

• Building security improvement; eliminate

hazardous traffic site (Ochoco)

• Major improvement in air quality, lighting

quality, and noise control

• If alternative “renovation only” plan is chosen,

it will result in multiple facilities (Ochoco, Crooked River, Cecil Sly, Paulina, Pioneer, and Middle School having to be replaced at once). . . . Huge $$$$

• Employers considering move to Crook County

evaluate quality of school facilities

 SITING OF NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

• At Least 10 acres
• Within Urban Growth Boundary
• Near population growth
• Currently considering several sites, all north of

Hwy 26

• 461 of 1,304 students bused (Further study?

Where do the other 840 students live?)

4 6 1 Bus Students ( from the 4 zones)

 SUMMARY

• Can We Borrow?

 Role of State of Oregon

• Should We Borrow?

 Is Now a Good Time to Borrow?  Are the Proposed Projects Worthwhile?

• How Much Should We Borrow?

 Tax Rate Impact (Bond Term vs. Bond Amount Tradeoffs)  What Tax Rate is Acceptable?

• $1.00
• $1.20 - $1.25
• $2.00
