Budget committee holds orientation to explain its role and how the city budget is structured
Summary
The City of Sisters held a Budget Committee training to introduce new member Amy Paul, review the committee’s role approving the budget and serving as community 'eyes and ears,' and invite questions on line items and processes.
Presenter opened a training-style Budget Committee meeting and introduced Amy Paul as the newest budget committee member, saying she applied specifically for the budget committee seat. The presenter framed the session as an "open-ended" orientation for new councilors, committee members and community members to ask general questions about line items, transfers and processes.
Presenter described the committee’s core responsibilities: "ultimately the budget committee, is there to approve the budget, number 1. But number 2, just to be, eyes and ears of, of the community." Amy Paul urged attendees not to shy away from questions, saying "there's no dumb questions." The session closed with staff offering follow-up meetings and a reminder the proposed budget will be available roughly a week before the May 20 meeting.
