A yes vote on the question creates the district with the stated tax rate, beginning with the 2017-2018 fiscal year (that is the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2017). If created, all of Douglas County and all cities within Douglas County will be included in the district, with the exception of the cities of Sutherlin and Elkton (which will not be included).
