Board adopts Secure Rural Schools allocation for federal fiscal year 2027
Summary
Deschutes County adopted resolution 2026‑035 allocating SRS funds for federal fiscal year 2027 with 84% to Title 1 (roads and schools), 9% to Title 2 (federal projects) and 7% to Title 3 (county projects); staff noted the 1% shift from Title 1 to Title 2 and clarified Title 2 allocations are not deducted from PILT.
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners voted July 8 to adopt resolution 2026‑035, which sets the county’s Secure Rural Schools (SRS) allocations for federal fiscal year 2027. Road Department Director Chris Doty explained the recommended split mirrors the board’s prior direction with a small change shifting roughly 1% from Title 1 to Title 2 to support federal‑land projects.
Doty summarized the allocation: “Such that 84% goes to Title 1, 9% to Title 2, and 7% to Title 3,” and explained Title 2 funds are intended for projects on federal lands; he also clarified that Title 2 allocations are not deducted from the county’s Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) receipts. Commissioners supported the allocation for its support of maintenance and federal‑land projects and voted unanimously to adopt the resolution.
Next steps: staff will publish the allocation and proceed with project listing and implementation consistent with the resolution and federal program rules.
