 FACILITIES ASSESSMENT ◦ BLRB Architects & Schaber Roof Consultants ◦ Possible Conditions: Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, Deficient  High School Good 1996  Middle School Poor 1952  Crooked River Elem. Deficient 1934  Ochoco Elem. Deficient 1945  Cecil Sly Elem. Deficient 1960  Paulina Elem. Deficient 1948  Pioneer Alternative Poor 1940  Maintenance Facility Poor 1950  Stadium Fair 1980  Information Tech Facility Deficient 1940  Transport./ Food Fair 1975

 ELEMENTS EVALUATED ◦ BLRB Architects – Facilities Assessment  Site  Exterior Building  Interior Building  Plumbing  Electrical  Mechanical  Safety / Building Code  Structural Evaluation  Instructional Adequacy  Educational Assessment ◦ Schaber Roof Consultants  Focus On Roof Repair, Not Replacement

 COST ESTIMATES - BLRB ARCHITECTS & SCHABER ROOF ◦ OCHOCO ELEMENTARY $ 6.7 M ◦ CROOKED RIVER ELEMENTARY 7.5 M ◦ CECIL SLY ELEMENTARY 6.8 M ◦ PAULINA ELEMENTARY 1.6 M ◦ POWELL BUTTE COM. CHARTER SCHOOL 2.3 M ◦ PIONEER ALTERNATIVE 0.5 M ◦ MIDDLE SCHOOL 8.2 M ◦ HIGH SCHOOL 3.1 M ◦ MAINTENANCE/ TECH 1.0 M ◦ TRANSPORTATION/ FOOD 1.7 M ◦ STADIUM 4.1 M ◦ TOTAL FACILITIES: $43.6M ($41.6M BLRB + $2.0M Schaber)  BLRB EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT ◦ Additional $3.9M - $5.9 M  $1.2M - $1.7M at Ochoco & Crooked River  $2.7M - $4.2M at Cecil Sly, MS, HS

 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

 CONSTRUCTION BOND TAX RATES IN NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS ◦ Jefferson Co. $3.03 ◦ Redmond $2.53 ◦ Bend-LaPine $1.59 Jefferson Co. (2012) and Redmond (2008) passed bonds in current recession  INTEREST RATES ◦ Municipal Bond Rates Now Lowest in 40 yrs.

 COST ESTIMATES (Original & As Reduced) Facility BLRB & CCSD CCSD CCSD Schaber 15 yr 5/ 15 yr Replace Renovation Renovation OCH/ CRE Only Only Renovate All Others OCHOCO $ 6.7 2.7 0.8 0.2 CR00KED RIVER $ 7.5 3.9 1.6 1.2 CECIL SLY $ 6.8 3.2 3.2 3.2 MIDDLE SCHOOL $ 8.2 4.1 4.1 4.1 HIGH SCHOOL $ 3.1 1.4 1.4 1.4 ALL OTHER $11.2 4.9 4.9 4.9 Replacement ES* * $15.0 * * Plus Land & Infrastructure Costs

 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 NOTE: See full Facilities Report at w w w .crookcounty.k1 2 .or.us
