Budget Committee:
The City of Sisters Budget Committee consists of five members of the Sisters City Council and an equal number of citizens. The Committee is tasked with reviewing the proposed budget and amending it where desired. The Budget Committee meetings are public meetings and an opportunity for citizen comment is available. City staff attends the meetings to provide technical analysis and support to the committee. At the conclusion of the budget meetings, the Committee approves a balanced budget that is forwarded to the City Council for adoption.
If you are interested in serving on the Budget Committee, please send your Advisory Committee application to Kathy Nelson, City Recorder, P.O. Box 39, Sisters, OR 97759 or drop it off at City Hall, 520 E. Cascade.
