<br />Robert N. Peters <br /> <br />Budget Committee Application Supplemental Questionnaire <br /> <br />1. What do you see as the role of the Budget Committee relative to City fiscal <br />policy? <br /> <br />The mission of the Budget Committee is defined as "to help the City Council <br />prepare and maintain a service, capital and funding plan for the city." The <br />committee reviews and makes recommendations on the City's annual budget <br />and on other short and long term financial planning matters. The role of the <br />committee is advisory. Implicit in its mission is the responsibility for clarifying <br />priorities and fiscal policy. <br /> <br />2. What particular contribution do you believe you can make as a member of the <br />Budget Committee? <br /> <br />I will be a diligent, responsible, committee member. My involvement with the <br />Board of Directors of Food for Lane County since its inception has included <br />periods of service as Chair of the Board, and during the period of construction of <br />the new Food for Lane County warehouse and office building I was the board <br />member designated to coordinate the building project. I have been involved with <br />three major components of society, the church, the University, and the law, and I <br />beHeve this has provided a broad background of experience in approaching the <br />issues that will face the budget committee for the City of Eugene. Dealing with <br />those tough issues will require clear thinking and I think I have the analytic skills <br />to be able to contribute to that process. <br /> <br />3. What experience and/or education have you had in reviewing financial data <br />(budgets, financial statements, etc.)? <br /> <br />As a member of the Board of Directors of Food for Lane County, and specifically <br />as Treasurer of the Board, I have been involved in budget preparation and in <br />reviewing financial data. <br /> <br />4. What boards, commissions, or other public or civic groups do you currently <br />serve on or have served on? <br /> <br />I have been involved in the distribution process for United Way for a a number <br />of years. I am a member of the Board of Directors of Food for Lane County, but <br />that service ends in July of this year. <br />
