Multnomah County is recruiting for the FY 26-27 Community Budget Advisory Committees (CBAC). CBACs are one way to get involved in the county budget process. Please help us get the word out to the residents in your neighborhood.
We have a new application for all 10 CBACs and still have CBAC positions until filled!
No budgeting or financial expertise is necessary! CBACs are groups of community members that review and make recommendations on county departmental budgets and operations. Meetings are focused on the bigger picture – understanding the county’s programs and services, discussing challenges and opportunities that departments are considering in their budget process, and providing input on key budget decisions for the next year.
Applicants select the top three department or office CBACs that most align with their interests and experience. Departments select participants based on application answers and, often, an interview. Once selected, CBAC members will hear directly from department directors and frontline staff about county programs and services. Working in a cohort model, CBAC members co-create and present recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners near the end of the budget cycle.
