SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
Citizen Budget Committee
The State of Oregon requires that all local governments establish a budget committee made up of citizen members and elected officials. The purpose of the budget committee in Oregon is to promote transparency, efficiency and economy in the expenditure of public funds. Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 294.341, the budget committee shall consist of “the members of the governing body and a number, equal to the number of members of the governing body, of qualified electors of the municipal corporation appointed by the governing body.”
There is currently one vacancy for the Ward 2 position. Given that the Citizen Budget Committee begins convening on April 25 to consider the FY 2018-19 budget, the intention is to allow the appointed applicant to undergo orientation prior to the onset of these meetings.
The Council Board and Commission Appointments Committee is scheduled to meet on April 9, 2018, prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, to consider recommending Kendra Mingo’s application for the Ward 2 position with a term expiring on June 30, 2020.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
The Council Board and Commission Appointments Committee is scheduled to meet on April 9, 2018, to consider Ms. Mingo’s application, and a recommendation that Council appoint Ms. Mingo to the Ward 2 position of the Budget Committee for a term expiring June 30, 2020. No interview is recommended, because there is only a single candidate.
Citizen Budget Committee
If recommended by the Council Board and Commission Appointments Committee, appoint Kendra Mingo to a partial term Ward 2 position, expiring on June 30, 2020.
