LOC’s Public Budgeting 101 Training Returns in March
The LOC is pleased to announce a new training opportunity: Budgeting 101. This training will be offered virtually in two separate three-hour sessions: Tuesday, March 7 from 6-9 p.m., and Wednesday, March 8 from 1-4 p.m. Content will be the same for both sessions, and there will be an opportunity for questions at the end of the presentation.
This general municipal budget training is intended to familiarize members of city budget committees, including city council members, and city staff contributing to budget development.
This LOC training will provide attendees with a high-level understanding of:
- The budgeting process and the budget lifecycle;
- Roles and responsibilities of key players in the budget lifecycle;
- Information on Oregon Budget Law, typical sources of revenue and expenses, PERS, and property taxes; and
- Basic principles of public meetings, public records and ethics as they apply to local government and budget committee service.
More information and registration is available here.
NOTE: Similar to other LOC virtual trainings, the recording will be available to purchase for a discounted price 2-3 weeks after the training. Live attendees can engage more with the presenter and ask questions.
