The Umpqua Public Transit District board of directors will discuss posting the position of chief executive officer, during their meeting on Monday night.

That position has been vacant since Ben Edtl resigned in August. Chief Operating Officer George Carrillo continues in his role.

Administrative Assistant Amira Kamel told News Radio 93-9 FM and 1240 KQEN that if eventually approved the posting would just be done internally, meaning only for existing employees to see, with no outside recruitment taking place. The matter will be talked about in an Executive Session, not open to the public.

The meeting will include an update regarding the Oregon Department of Transportation, a financial report, project updates and more.

It will be held at 6:00 p.m. at the UPTD offices at 516 Southeast Jackson Street in downtown Roseburg.
