Council appoints Sandra 'Sandy' Smith to budget committee; out‑of‑city applicant excluded by state law
Summary
Sandra "Sandy" Smith was appointed to the Sutherlin budget committee for a term through 12/31/2028 after staff said state law (ORS) disallows nonresident committee members; a second applicant was ineligible due to residency.
The council appointed Sandra 'Sandy' Smith to a budget‑committee seat with a term ending Dec. 31, 2028. Staff reported two applicants for three open positions and noted a state statute (ORS) prohibits nonresidents from serving on the budget committee; as a result, the second applicant, Timothy Caswell Jr., was not eligible under state law and staff recommended appointing Smith.
Council moved and voted to appoint Smith; the motion carried on a recorded voice vote. Councilors who voted in favor recorded their assent during roll call and the appointment was confirmed during the meeting.
