The city of Independence, Oregon is facing a budget shortfall in the General Fund and wants to hear from the community about what services matter most to you. Your input will help guide decisions on potential cost-saving measures and revenue opportunities.
Currently, the General Fund supports city services, including the Library, the Museum, and Parks departments. Unlike restricted funds, which must be used for specific purposes such as water and sewer operations, the General Fund is the primary source of funding for many public services and has more flexibility in how it is allocated. With the budget shortfall, the city must evaluate both spending reductions and potential revenue sources to maintain General Fund services.
