ODFW's 2007-2009 budget Date: April 4, 2006 Contact: Ann Snyder (503) 947-6010 Fax: (503) 947-6009 SALEM - Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is hosting a series of 10 town hall meetings throughout the state in April to gather public input on the agency's budget for the 2007-2009 biennium. The proposed budget, which is being developed by ODFW and a citizen budget advisory committee, calls for carrying the same basic level of staffing and programs currently in place forward into the next biennium. No fee increases are being proposed. The projected cost to provide the same programs during 2007-2009 is $237.1 million. At each town hall meeting, agency staff will present a summary of agency programs and the related base budget, then will gather public comments that will be used to help refine the budget before presenting it to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission in July. The public is encouraged to provide comment at the town hall meetings verbally or in writing. Comments also may be submitted via e-mail to ODFW.Comments@state.or.us or by mail to ODFW, 3406 Cherry Ave. NE, Salem OR 97303-4924. All comments are due by Monday, May 1. The Commission will consider the recommended budget at its meeting Friday, July 7, in Salem. Once a proposed budget is approved by the Commission, it will be submitted to the Governor for consideration. The Department's budget will ultimately be determined by the 2007 Legislature.
