Budget Information

Finance Staff at Fall Cleanup

The City’s budget is a financial plan for the budget period July 1 through June 30.  In Oregon, cities are required to prepare an annual or bi-annual budget.  The budget process can be summarized in four steps in which the budget is 1) prepared, 2) approved, 3) adopted, and 4) executed.  The budget process encourages citizen input and is a valuable tool in obtaining public opinion about proposed programs and fiscal policies.

A city budget is made up of several funds, each with a specific purpose.  The City of Sisters operates 12 funds.  The department directors assist the City Manager in developing the budget, identifying program costs and making budget adjustments if necessary to ensure the budget is balanced.  

The budget page includes documents for fiscal years 2016/17-2023/24. The budget documents include both the City funds and the Urban Renewal Agency. The page also includes the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the City of Sisters and the Annual Financial Statements for the City of Sisters Urban Renewal Agency.
