Troutdale budget committee elects officers, sets meeting schedule and requests follow‑up materials

Summary

At the start of the work session the committee elected Tammy Stephens chair, a vice‑chair appointment resulted in Sandy Glantz assuming the role after a failed slate for Victoria Rizzo, and the committee set April meeting dates and asked staff for detailed cost slides and household impact worksheets.

The meeting began with nominations and a roll‑call procedure for committee leadership. Tammy Stephens was nominated and elected budget committee chair for the 12/02/2025–06/30/2026 term; the vice‑chair balloting initially placed Victoria Rizzo in a slate vote that failed, and the chair later stated Sandy Glantz would serve as vice chair.

The chair and staff confirmed the upcoming budget‑deliberation meetings (dates in April were noted) and asked staff to present a balanced proposed budget and specific line‑item worksheets so committee members can identify candidate reductions or re‑allocations during April deliberations. Committee members also requested an illustrative household cost summary to show combined levies/fees and county levies that affect an average property.

The session closed after staff answered final questions and a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
