expansion:
• The district received
legal analysis regarding service expansion and
governance structure.
• A key issue is whether the
district can provide only police
services in certain areas. Legal
guidance indicated this is not
advisable under Oregon Revised Statutes, which do not
allow different service levels
within a multi-use district.
• Board members discussed
the possibility of further review
with Deschutes County legal
counsel, noting potential shared
costs between SSD and Caldera.
