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 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.”
Community Police Review Board
The Community Police Review Board is to review unresolved complaints against members of the Salem Police Department. Salem Revised Code 20I states that the City Council make appointments to the Community Police Review Board, which is comprised of seven members and two alternate members.
Salem Planning Commission
The Salem Planning Commission acts as an advisory commission to the City Council with a broad scope of concern in promoting the growth and orderly development of the City of Salem.
While these recommended appointments are important to the ongoing viability of the City’s boards and commissions, volunteer positions are almost always available. To learn of current vacancies, interested individuals may refer to the boards and commissions page on the City’s website at <https://www.cityofsalem.net/boards-and-commissions>.
