The City of Roseburg is taking applications from people who would like to volunteer to serve on the Public Works Commission.

Applications are due by Friday February 11th at 5:00 p.m. The vacancy must be filled by someone who lives in, or owns a business within Roseburg’s urban services boundary, which includes all land served by the City’s water system.

A release said the commission provides community services involving planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of public infrastructure such as the airport, public buildings, streets, the stormwater system, parks and other facilities. It considers rules governing operations of the water system and its rate structure and provides long-range planning and strategies for financing of capital improvements including sidewalks, streets, lighting and storm drainage.

The Public Works Commission meets electronically via Zoom on the second Thursday of each month. The person appointed would fill a recent vacancy and serve until the end of this year.
