The City of Roseburg has commission opening on three of its commissions.

A city release said applications are being taken from people interested in filling vacancies on the Budget Committee, the Economic Development Committee and Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has two vacancies while the other commissions each have one.

The deadline for applying to be on the Budget Committee is 5:00 p.m. this Friday, March 13th. Other vacancies remain open until they are filled.

The Budget Committee usually meets once a year at 6:00 p.m. in May. On rare occasions, the committee meets two or three times. The Budget Committee reviews the city’s proposed annual operating budget. Applicants must live within the city limits.

The Economic Development Commission meets at 3:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday in January, April, July and October. The commission creates an awareness in the public and private sectors of the need for effective community and economic development and tourism promotion programs. It is also designed to provide a forum for evaluating and overseeing the use of the city’s hotel/motel tax revenues for programs and events to promote local tourism.

The Planning Commission meets at 7:00 p.m. on the first Mondays of the month to consider long and short-range land-use development issues in the city and within the urban growth boundary. The commission reviews and acts on quasi-judicial applications filed by landowners or their agents and on legislative applications initiated by the city.

Appointees to all four positions will serve three-year terms through December 2028.
