The Philomath Fire & Rescue Budget Committee reviews the proposed budget before it is reviewed by the Fire District Board of Directors. The Budget Committee acts as community oversight for the business of the District and has the opportunity to discuss the details of the Fire District programs with the staff and other Budget Committee members. 

Budget Committee members are non-compensated positions appointed by the Fire District Board of Directors. The Budget Committee meets, typically, once annually, in the month of May (this year April). The purpose of the meeting is to receive the budget message and to receive comment from the public on the budget. This is a public meeting where deliberation of the Budget Committee will take place. Any person may appear at the meeting and discuss the proposed programs with the Budget Committee.

A copy of the budget document may be inspected or obtained on or after April 12, 2023 at Philomath Fire & Rescue, 1035 Main Street, Philomath, OR 97370, between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm.
