Planning for La Pine’s Financial Needs

State law requires every local Oregon government to have a budget committee. The role of this committee is to review the annual city budget and approve it or recommend changes before sending it to the city council for formal adoption. Throughout the year, members of La Pine’s Budget Committee may also be asked by the City Council to investigate city financial issues and make recommendations to the council.
