[PL-Directors] FW: 2026 Basic Local Budget Law Training Schedule

[NIELSEN Buzzy * SLO]

FYI, the Department of Revenue annually offers local budget law training for cities, counties, and districts. They're an excellent opportunity to learn what your city library, county library, or library district has to do legally as part of their annual or biennial budget process. The training materials included on the local budget law website listed below also are excellent and easy to understand.

See the message below for more information.

Cheers!

The Oregon Department of Revenue is pleased to announce the 2026 Local Budget Law training sessions.

  1.  Proposing the Budget - covering how to build a district budget including estimating property taxes, resources versus requirements, types of funds, and budget organization.
  2.  Approving and Adopting the Budget - covering putting together a budget committee, the budget committee meeting, the process for revising and approving the budget, the governing body's hearing on the budget, making changes to the approved budget, and budget resolutions adopting the budget.
  3.  Changes after Budget
  4.  Adoption - covering changes that can be made after the budget has been adopted including supplemental budgets, emergency provisions, and exceptions to local budget law

Registration is required for both in-person and virtual training sessions. The training dates and times, along with links to register, are found on the department's Local Budget Law webpage<https://www.oregon.gov/dor/programs/property/pages/local-budget.aspx>.
