Budget Documents

The State of Oregon, through its local budget law, requires that each local government prepare and adopt an annual or biennial budget. The budget law is a group of statutes that sets standard procedures, encourages citizen involvement, provides methods or estimating figures, and offers a method to outline the local government's programs and services.

Financial Statements & Audit Reports

After the audit is completed a report is produced for each entity entitled "Annual Finance Report". The Annual Financial Report contains Financial Statements, Financial Notes, Supplemental Information, an Independent Auditor's Report, and Management's Discussion and Analysis.
