DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Two vacancies have occurred on the City’s Budget Committee due to the expiration of terms for the Ward 1 and Ward 2 positions. Each full term of the Budget
Committee is for a 3-year period, with the positions staggered to have two vacancies occur every December. The recruitment process began September for an October appointment and the City received 1 applicant for each Wards 1 & 2.
During September the City also sought applicants for Ward 3 and Ward 4 left vacant due to incumbents changing residences and no longer eligible to serve on the
Budget Committee. No applications were received for either Ward 3 or Ward 4 at this time. Staff will re-advertise for these two positions after the first of the year in
January 2014 and schedule time with the Council for interviews.
The City’s charge for the Budget Committee (Attachment 3) states as a qualifier 6
members from the Council and 6 citizens by Ward (Citizen members may not be
officers, agents or employees of the City, per ORS 294.336(4).
The Council is requested to appoint citizens to each of the two current vacancies on
the Budget Committee with both terms to expire on December 31, 2016.
