                        A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to state payment for city public safety services; and
  appropriating money.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + (1) As used in this section:
  (a) 'City Property Tax Rate' means the maximum rate of
operating taxes, as defined in ORS 310.055, that a city may
certify to the county assessor under ORS 310.060.
  (b) 'City Public Safety Factor' means the ratio of the total
amount of city general fund expenditures for public safety for
the preceding fiscal year over total city general fund revenues
for the preceding fiscal year.
  (c) 'Estimated Assessed Value Factor' means the ratio of the
fair market value for the preceding fiscal year of all real
property owned by the State of Oregon and located in this state
over the real market value, as determined under ORS 308.232 for
the preceding fiscal year, of all taxable real property in this
state, for the preceding fiscal year.
  (2) At the request of a city within which real property owned
by the State of Oregon is located, the Oregon Department of
Administrative Services shall enter into a contract with the city
to pay for police, fire and emergency medical services provided
to the real property owned by the state within the boundaries of
the city.
  (3) The amount of the payment shall be computed by the
department for each fiscal year using the formula (Estimated
Value of State Property) x (Estimated Assessed Value Factor) x
(City Property Tax Rate) x (City Public Safety Factor).
  (4) Payment shall be made by the department to the treasurer of
each city entering into a contract under this section. Payment
shall be made from the City Public Safety Account created under
section 2 of this 2001 Act. Payment shall be made in equal
 
quarterly installments on or before the last day of each quarter
of the fiscal year.
  (5) For each quarter, the department shall estimate the amount
of moneys necessary to make the payments otherwise required under
this section. If the sum of the payments is estimated to be
greater than the account balance in the City Public Safety
Account, the department shall proportionally reduce the payments
so that this state does not accrue a debt in excess of the
account balance. A claim for payment may not accrue to a city
under this section in excess of the amount estimated under this
subsection.
  (6) The provisions of this section are incorporated into and
become a part of any contract entered into pursuant to this
section. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + (1) The City Public Safety Account is created
in the General Fund.
  (2) From the biennial appropriation made by the Legislative
Assembly to fund the City Public Safety Account, moneys in the
account are continuously appropriated to the Oregon Department of
Administrative Services for the purpose of making the payments
described in section 1 of this 2001 Act. + }
  SECTION 3.  { + Notwithstanding section 1 of this 2001 Act, for
fiscal years beginning:
  (1) In the biennium beginning July 1, 2003, the payment made
under section 1 of this 2001 Act may not exceed 15 percent of the
amount computed under section 1 (3) of this 2001 Act.
  (2) In the biennium beginning July 1, 2005, the payment made
under section 1 of this 2001 Act may not exceed 30 percent of the

amount computed under section 1 (3) of this 2001 Act. + }
