Siuslaw Valley Fire & Rescue Seeks Budget Committee Members
The Siuslaw Valley Fire & Rescue (SVFR) Board of Directors invite applications from residents interested in serving on the SVFR’s Budget Committee. Interested persons should obtain an application from the SVFR station located at 2625 Highway 101, or from the button below.
Applications will be accepted until 5pm Friday, February 11, 2022. After the review of applications, the SVFR Board will appoint the new members at their February 24 board meeting. Applicants must be registered voters residing within the SVFR district.
The Budget Committee is a standing committee of five members that sit jointly with the SVFR Directors to publicly review and revise the annual budget. The Budget Committee approves the budget and tax levy. The budget then goes to the SVFR Board of Directors to be adopted.
Committee members serve three-year terms which expire June 30. A Budget Committee Member is expected to spend up to 20 hours that includes reviewing the budget and meeting 1-3 times from April through June each year.
