The deadline to apply for a vacant position on the Roseburg City Council is Friday afternoon at 5:00 p.m.

A city release said applications are being taken from Ward 1 residents who would like to serve through December 31, 2026. Former Councilor Kylee Rummel recently resigned. Ward 1 is in northeast Roseburg.

The council meets at 7:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, as well as for special meetings. As the elected legislative body, the city council is responsible for the scope, direction and financing of city services. The council is also responsible for establishing land use policies and zoning regulations.

The council establishes local law and policy that is administered by city staff under the council-city manager form of government. The council gives policy directions to the city manager, who is responsible for administering city operations.  The council works closely with citizen advisory commissions and committees, considers city staff information and recommendations, and takes input from interested parties and the public. Councilors review material to prepare for their meetings and correspond with ward constituents. Councilors may attend other meetings and may chair a city commission. Councilors are elected to two-year terms.

Online applications can be found on the city’s website or picked up in-person city hall. For more information, go to: https://www.cityofroseburg.org/storage/app/media/Council/Councilor%20Vacancy/2025%20City%20Council%20Vacancy%20Ad-Application%20Packet.pdf
