Budgets

The City of Stayton follows the budget process as required by State Law. Stayton is transitioning from a one-year budget to a two-year (biennial) budget. The first two-year budget will be from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027 and will be referred to as the 2025-27 budget.

The Budget Committee consists of 12 people - 6 City Council members and 6 members of the public, who are appointed by the Council to the Committee. The Committee reviews the Proposed Budget and after the review can make changes or adjustments. When the Budget Committee is finished with their review, they approve the budget which is then presented to the City Council for their review and discussion. The City Council holds a public hearing on the budget and then adopts the budget prior to July 1. The process is described in the Local Budget Handbook that is prepared by the Oregon Department of Revenue.

  • The City of Stayton was awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for a ninth time for the 2024-25 Fiscal Year Budget by the Government Finance Officers Association. This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting.

    The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program to encourage local governments to prepare, provide, and utilize budget documents of the very highest quality as adopted by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA’s best practices on budgeting.
