What the Budget Advisory Committee Does
The Committee helps shape the District’s financial planning by:
Reviewing the Proposed Budget → Examines the District’s draft budget, evaluates major changes, and identifies areas that may need clarification or adjustment.
Providing Community Insight → Ensures the District’s financial decisions reflect community priorities and align with long-term service and operational needs.
Recommending Budget Adoption → Recommends the finalized budget to the Board of Directors for consideration, as required by Oregon’s Local Budget Law.
For more information about the Budget Committee’s responsibilities, see the Local Budget Law section of the Oregon Department of Revenue’s website.
