Current Budget

A budget is defined by Oregon State Law (Oregon Revised Statutes, Chapter 294), as a financial plan containing estimates of revenues and expenditures for a given period or purpose, such as the fiscal year or a biennium. The City is required to budget all funds and for each fund to have a balanced budget.

Beginning with FY 2020, the City of Prineville started using a biennial budgeting process. A biennial budget period is a 24-month period beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the second succeeding year. For this biennial budget, the period commences July 1, 2023 and ends June 30, 2025. The budget is presented by fund and department categories for a biennial (two-year) period. The city manager has responsibility for management of the overall city budget and maintaining budgetary control at the approved appropriation level. Finance and the respective operating department directors perform ongoing review and monitoring of revenues and expenditures. The Citizens’ Budget Committee consists of the governing body plus an equal number of legal voters appointed by the Prineville City Council. Accordingly, the City of Prineville has 14 budget committee members, in which the votes of all members are equal.
