Description:  By law, the budget committee is charged with making recommendations concerning financial priorities. The budget committee will have the responsibility for reviewing the financial program of Lane ESD, reviewing the proposed ESD budget as presented by the superintendent and recommending an annual ESD budget in keeping with the provisions of applicable state laws.

Educational policy decisions, however, are the responsibility of the Board, not the budget committee. The committee does not have the authority to add programs or to approve additional personnel or increase salaries. While the committee may, in effect, delete programs because of a fund decrease in arriving at a levy figure, the committee is charged primarily with a fiscal evaluation of programs. The committee may, alternatively, recommend an amount that changes the proposed budget and may request the administration make such changes in accordance with priorities set by the Board.

The budget committee consists of the elected Board members and eight members appointed by the Board from component school district boards or designees of component district Boards. The members appointed by the Board shall consist of five members selected by ESD zone and three members selected at large. To be eligible for appointment, the appointive member must:
1. Live and be registered to vote within the ESD and, if a zone representative, must live within the appropriate zone;
2. Not be an officer, agent or employee of the ESD.No budget committee member may receive any type of compensation from the ESD. Reimbursement of budget committee expenses shall be in accordance with Board policy and administrative rule BHD/BHD-AR.

The Board will announce the vacancies and receive recommendations of interested members of component school district Boards or designees of component district boards. Candidates for vacant positions must reside in the vacated zone. At-large vacant positions will be filled from among members of component school district Boards or designees of component district boards.

The appointive budget committee members will be appointed for three-year terms in the September meeting. The terms will be staggered so that approximately one-third of the appointive members’ terms end each year. The Board may appoint budget committee members to as many consecutive terms as deemed appropriate. If any appointive member is unable to complete the term for which he/she was appointed, the Board will announce the vacancy at the first regular Board meeting following the committee member’s resignation or removal. An appointment to fill the position for its unexpired term will be made at the next regular Board meeting. (continued) 1-2 Budget Committee - DBEA (continued)

The budget committee will elect a presiding officer from among the members at the first meeting. It may also establish such other ground rules as necessary for successful operation of the committee.

A majority of the constituted committee is required for passing an action item. Majority for a 15-member budget committee is 8. Therefore, if only eight members are present, a unanimous vote is needed for passing an action.

As provided by law, the committee will hear the budget message presented by the superintendent, receive the budget document, listen to comments and suggestions by patrons and announce the time and place for its future meetings. All meetings of the budget committee are open to the public.

The budget committee may request any information for the preparation or revision of the budget document from any ESD officer or employee. It may request the attendance of any employee at its meetings. Such requests by the budget committee should be made through the superintendent and/or budget officer. The budget committee will approve the budget document as submitted by the superintendent or as subsequently revised by the committee.

After approval of the original or revised budget document, the budget committee’s duties cease. The hearing on the approved budget is held by the Board. 

Lane ESD's Budget Committee has vacancies in Positions/Zones 1 and 2.  The Board of Directors of Lane ESD will declare these two Budget Committee Vacancies.

Description:  Eugene School District 4J's Board of Directors has nominated Board Member Rick Hamilton to the Lane Education Service District Budget Committee for a three-year term ending 6/30/2026.
