The budget committee shall prepare and the Board shall adopt a budget for the operational and administrative expenses of the Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD).

The budget will be prepared in full compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. The superintendent will be designated as budget officer and will prepare the budget document. 

The Board will serve as the ESD’s budget committee along with an equal number of electors plus one who are members of component district boards or designees of component school district boards, as required by law. 

In appointing members, the Board will consider equitable representation of the component districts.  Considerations shall include general location and size. 

The term of appointment of a budget committee in an ESD that prepares an annual budget shall be three years. Appointive members of a budget committee in an ESD that prepares a biennial budget shall be appointed to four-year terms. 

As budget officer the superintendent shall perform, or cause to have performed, the following:

1. Presentation of a budget calendar; 

2. Preparation of the budget; 

3. Presentation of the budget to the budget committee; 

4. Preparation and submission of all resolutions for Board action as necessary to adopt the budget; to make the appropriations; to determine, make and declare the ad valorem property tax amount or rate to be certified to the assessor for the ensuing year; and to itemize and categorize the ad valorem property tax amount or rate as provided in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 310.060; 

5. Preparation and filing of all necessary legal notices and reports required by the Local Budget Law. The fiscal year will extend from July 1 to June 30 inclusive. 

The Board will adopt a budget calendar, which identifies dates and deadlines required for the legal presentation and adoption of the ESD budget. 

As the ESD budget is prepared, staff will use a prioritizing system consistent with program needs as identified by component school districts, Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) staff and the Board. Priorities should be established to be used as a basis for budget additions or reductions.
