The Budget Committee is established by state law and exists to approve the budget of the City. Seven citizen members, who may not be officers, agents or employees of the City, serve alongside the City Council (Mayor and six City Council members). Citizen members serve three-year terms.

The Committee acts as the fiscal planning board for the City by reviewing, revising and approving the City budget as presented by the Budget Officer. At the first meeting of the year, members elect a Chair and a Secretary. At the second meeting of the year, members receive the budget message from the Chair and receive and review the budget document. During the meeting, opportunity is given for citizens to testify on budget-related matters.

Membership Requirements

The Budget Committee must be comprised of current City Council members and an equal number of Hillsboro residents appointed by the Council. Residents must be United States citizens, 18 years of age or older, and living within the city limits of Hillsboro to serve on this committee.
