Deschutes County seeks budget committee applicants

Deschutes County is accepting applications for the county’s Budget Committee. The deadline to submit applications is Monday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. Interviews are expected to be held shortly thereafter.

Budget Committee members are responsible for reviewing the County’s proposed budget and recommending a final version to the Board of County Commissioners for adoption. Citizens with finance or business management experience are encouraged to apply.

Committee members are asked to serve a three year term and are not paid for their time. Committee volunteers attend seven meetings between December and the end of June, including four days of meetings in late May/early June. Additional meetings may be called if necessary.

Members are responsible for reviewing financial documents on their own time to prepare for sessions, which are held during business hours.

The Budget Committee is made up of the Board of County Commissioners and three citizen members. Applicants must be residents of Deschutes County.
