PENDLETON – The Pendleton Budget Committee holds its first meeting bright and early Tuesday morning.
“We have Tuesdays and Thursdays scheduled the first two weeks of May,” City Manager Robb Corbett said. “We have our meetings at 7 a.m. in the basement of the Vert.”
The general fund for the budget totals $21,476,198. The top three departments receiving funding are the police department, the fire department, and parks and recreation. Corbett says the police department is budgeted to add two new officers and the fire department will be able to hire three new paramedics.
At the meeting tomorrow, the committee will elect its officers and hear the budget message from Corbett. As part of that message, he will report that the city is also committing itself to support the Fourth of July fireworks display.
