ROSEBURG, Ore. - Roseburg garbage and recycling customers will see higher service rates beginning next year after the Roseburg City Council approved a rate adjustment requested by Roseburg Disposal Company.

The new rates will take effect Jan. 1, 2027. Roseburg Disposal requested an approximately 8% increase, citing higher costs for fuel, employee wages and benefits, equipment maintenance, vehicle replacement, insurance and regulatory compliance.

For residential customers inside the city, monthly rates will change as follows:

• 40-gallon service will increase from $20 to $21.50.
• 60-gallon service will increase from $31.50 to $34.
• 90-gallon service will increase from $45.75 to $49.25.

Commercial service rates and several additional service fees will also increase. Roseburg Disposal is also standardizing portions of its commercial and residential rate structure as recycling service becomes available to more commercial customers.

The company’s last rate adjustment was approved by the council in August 2023 and took effect later that year.

Company Cites Independently Audited Financial Figures

Roseburg Disposal provided the city with an independently audited operating ratio as part of its request. The operating ratio measures operating expenses as a percentage of gross revenue.

The company reported a current operating ratio of 93.8, meaning operating expenses have outpaced the target range of 88 to 92 established under its Douglas County franchise agreement.

Roseburg Disposal said the approved adjustment is expected to bring that figure to approximately 90, the midpoint of the target range.

During the council discussion, Councilor Zack Weiss said that although he does not like rate increases, he appreciated the transparency Roseburg Disposal provided. Weiss also expressed support for targeting an operating ratio of 90 rather than 88, the lower end of the established range.

Other councilors also expressed appreciation that Roseburg Disposal has resumed recycling collection, noting the return of the service as a positive development for local customers.

In its request, Roseburg Disposal said it used the county’s operating-ratio method voluntarily to provide the City Council with an objective measure of the company’s financial condition. The city’s licensing agreement does not require the calculation.

Roseburg Disposal President Dori John said the locally owned company remains committed to maintaining dependable service while continuing to invest in employees, equipment and expanded recycling.

The adjustment will also increase disposal expenses for city departments that use Roseburg Disposal services. It will not change the company’s annual $60,000 solid waste management license fee paid to the city.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - Plans to update Stewart Park took an unexpected turn Monday night when the Roseburg City Council voted 5-2 to reject all proposals and send the project back for additional work.

The council had been asked to award a $279,370 professional services contract to Cameron McCarthy, the highest-ranked of four firms that submitted proposals. Instead, a majority of councilors decided the planning area should be reconsidered before the city commits to a plan expected to guide the park for the next 20 years.

At the center of the discussion was Schedule B, an optional portion of the proposal covering Gaddis Park, multi-use trail connections and nearby open-space and waterfront areas.

Several councilors questioned why the planning area stopped where it did. They discussed extending it farther along the riverfront toward the former visitor center near Deer Creek. The conversation also touched on whether the planning work should reach as far as Micelli Park.

Councilor Zack Weiss argued that the city should not make a decision affecting the next 20 years simply to avoid delaying the project by a few months. He said moving forward with a narrower plan would be short-sighted when the council already saw value in expanding the planning area.

Weiss also raised concerns that dividing the work into separate planning projects could ultimately cost the city more. He said the riverfront, trail and park areas feel connected to people walking or riding between downtown and Stewart Park, and the city should use this opportunity to consider the entire corridor.

Councilor Ellen Porter agreed that the areas are geographically connected and said it made sense to consider them comprehensively.

Other councilors questioned whether the trail corridor belonged in the Stewart Park Master Plan or should remain part of the city's separate bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts. Another possibility discussed Monday was moving forward with the Stewart Park portion now, then developing a separate plan for the corridor between Gaddis and Micelli parks.

That option did not win over a majority of the council. Councilors ultimately clarified that approving the motion would reject every proposal and require the city to begin the solicitation process again. Five councilors voted in favor and two opposed it.

The final motion did not establish an exact new boundary. It directed the city to reject the existing proposals and revisit Schedule B to include additional areas.

Public Works Director Ryan Herinckx said the change would likely require another request for proposals. Returning the project for new proposals could add four to five months to the process.

The delay also raises a question about $125,000 in outside funding committed to the project through the Oregon Community Foundation. When asked whether changing the scope or timeline could affect that funding, Herinckx said he did not yet have an answer. The funding commitment was based on the project as originally proposed.

Under the rejected proposal, the main Stewart Park planning work would have cost $224,480. Schedule B would have added $54,890, bringing the total to $279,370.

The base proposal covered Stewart Park's natural area, golf course, Fir Grove fields and Riverfront Park. Schedule B added Gaddis Park and nearby trail, waterfront and open-space areas.

The city had already budgeted $150,000 for the update. The $125,000 funding commitment and another $4,370 from city reserves would have covered the remainder.

Roseburg received four proposals after advertising the project in June. A four-member staff committee ranked Cameron McCarthy first with 114 points out of 125. Moore Iacofano Goltsman ranked second, followed by Range Studio and PORT. Staff did not conduct interviews because of the scoring results.

The Roseburg Parks Commission unanimously recommended awarding the contract to Cameron McCarthy during its Sept. 2 meeting. City staff supported that recommendation, but the council's vote brought the process to a halt before a contract was authorized.

The existing Stewart Park Master Plan was adopted in 2000. Some of its recommendations have since been completed, including construction of the Fir Grove soccer fields and skate park, expansion of the tennis center and improvements to park restrooms and the pavilion. Other ideas, such as relocating the park maintenance facility and building an amphitheater, were never carried out.

The 236-acre park serves as one of Roseburg's primary locations for sports, recreation and community gatherings.

An initial phase of the update was completed in December 2025 and included site analysis, mapping and a community survey. A total of 1,382 people responded, with walking, running and exercise among the most frequently reported uses of the park.

Once the city selects a consultant under the revised process, development of the new master plan is expected to take approximately one year.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - A company developing a privately funded bridge housing community in Grants Pass has identified Roseburg as the next community it plans to pursue.

The potential project was discussed Monday evening as the Roseburg City Council reviewed homelessness response efforts in Grants Pass. Councilor Zack Weiss voiced strong support for the idea during the discussion.

No Roseburg property has been selected, and no formal development proposal, capacity or construction timeline has been announced. However, information included in the council’s agenda packet says LifeSpace plans to explore a Roseburg development after completing its current project in Grants Pass.

“LifeSpace has indicated that Roseburg is the next community it plans to pursue following completion of the Grants Pass project,” the report states.

The Grants Pass project is expected to open within the next few months. City staff said its completion would give Roseburg an opportunity to evaluate the model while considering whether a similar privately developed community could help fill the gap between homelessness, temporary shelter and permanent housing locally.

Privately Funded Development Model

LifeSpace is developing what it calls a NextStep Bridge Community in Grants Pass. The 176-bed development is expected to open by the end of 2026.

Unlike a city-owned homeless campground or shelter, the project is being financed and developed through private investment. According to information provided to Roseburg officials, no Grants Pass taxpayer money is being used to purchase the property or pay for development and construction.

Under the model described in the packet, LifeSpace can acquire property, develop the community and place the housing units without requiring a city to purchase the land or build the facility. The company then works with local social service providers to connect residents with services.

The development is intended to serve people who need greater stability while transitioning into permanent housing. That could include individuals leaving rehabilitation or treatment, families, seniors, displaced workers and others experiencing housing instability.

Residents would live in individual units rather than a congregate shelter. Some units include full bathrooms and kitchenettes, while others feature smaller living spaces and front porches.

Plans for the Grants Pass community include:

• A community center for supportive services
• Accessible restrooms and showers
• Heating, air conditioning and electricity in every unit
• Onsite laundry
• Dedicated parking spaces
• A manager’s office
• A large fenced pet area
• Pickleball and basketball courts
• Shared community spaces

The units are manufactured by UtilityMate Manufacturing LLC and built on trailer chassis, allowing them to be transported and placed more quickly than conventional housing. According to the council packet, the units do not require individual building permits when located within an RV park.

LifeSpace Already Has A Roseburg Connection

LifeSpace is not new to Roseburg.

Immediately before Monday’s council meeting, councilors toured the Gary Leif Navigation Center and viewed LifeSpace units purchased for the facility. LifeSpace also donated two additional shelters valued at $25,000 each.

The units will allow UCAN to move congregate sleeping beds from inside the Navigation Center into individual shelters within the secured outdoor area.

Moving those beds outside is expected to free interior space for expanded supportive services, daytime use and a permanent heating and cooling location during periods of extreme weather.

The company offers three levels of housing. Its FirstStep units are designed as emergency shelters, NextStep units provide bridge housing, and MyStep units are intended as longer-term affordable housing for working individuals, families, seniors, veterans and people living on fixed incomes.

Separate From Parker’s Place

The LifeSpace project should not be confused with Parker’s Place Village, another privately owned facility in Grants Pass.

Parker’s Place is a low-barrier emergency sleeping facility developed by Elk Island Trading Group. The City of Grants Pass awarded the company $1.179 million toward developing the facility, with the money divided between city land and building funds and opioid settlement funds.

LifeSpace’s NextStep community is a separate private development intended to provide more stable bridge housing rather than emergency sleeping accommodations.

Roseburg staff examined both projects as part of the council’s continuing review of how other Oregon cities respond to homelessness.

The report noted that Roseburg and Grants Pass do not have identical funding options. Grants Pass receives a direct annual Community Development Block Grant allocation from the federal government, while Roseburg must compete for funding distributed through the State of Oregon.

No Roseburg Proposal Yet

Monday’s presentation was informational. City staff made no recommendation, and the council was not asked to approve a project, provide funding or select a location.

The agenda packet says any future partnership, financial commitment or other action involving the City of Roseburg would be presented separately for council review and approval.

For now, LifeSpace’s stated interest marks an early step rather than a finalized development. Important details, including where a community could be located, how many people it could accommodate, who would operate it and which local organizations would provide services, remain undetermined.

Still, the company’s existing relationship with the Navigation Center and its stated intention to pursue Roseburg establish a potential new direction in the city’s ongoing search for additional shelter and transitional housing options.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - For rent signs have appeared in the windows of Tuck’s Studio Pottery Painting in downtown Roseburg as the family-owned business prepares to close later this year.

The studio, located at 509 SE Jackson Street, announced that it plans to close during the first part of December 2026. The Ferber family described the decision as bittersweet and said they are moving on to new family adventures.

A definite closing date has not yet been announced.

Tuck’s has offered pottery painting alongside food and drinks, providing a space for birthday parties, family outings and other gatherings. The business opened in downtown Roseburg in September 2022.

Customers with unfinished pottery are being asked to return and complete their pieces as soon as possible. Any completed or unfinished pottery left behind after the studio closes will no longer be available for pickup.

Printed paper gift certificates must be redeemed by December 1, 2026. The business said its former black gift cards were discontinued in December 2025 and can no longer be claimed or redeemed.

In its farewell notice, the family thanked customers for their support and for allowing the business to become part of their lives and creative experiences.

The for rent signs now posted at the Jackson Street storefront offer another visible indication that a change is coming to the downtown space.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. - Residents may see smoke from several areas of Douglas County this week as permitted prescribed pasture burns take place near Roseburg, Oakland, Winston and Myrtle Creek.

The Oregon Department of Forestry has confirmed that permits were issued for five burns scheduled between Tuesday, Sept. 15, and Thursday, Sept. 17. Smoke could be visible from Interstate 5, nearby highways and several surrounding communities.

Scheduled Burns

• Tuesday, Sept. 15, from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. - A burn in the 17000 block of North Bank Road. Smoke may be visible from I-5, North Bank Road, Roseburg, Sutherlin, Wilbur and Glide.
• Tuesday, Sept. 15, from noon to 5 p.m. - A burn in the 1200 block of North Old Town Road near Oakland. Smoke may be visible from I-5, Oakland, Sutherlin, Fair Oaks, Wilbur, Umpqua, Nonpareil and Roseburg.
• Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 3 to 5 p.m. - A burn in the 1000 block of Coos Bay Wagon Road. Smoke may be visible from I-5, Highway 42, Camas, Lookingglass, Tenmile, Winston, Green and Roseburg.
• Thursday, Sept. 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. - A burn in the 4000 block of Gazley Road near Myrtle Creek. Smoke may be visible from I-5, Canyonville, Myrtle Creek and Days Creek.
• Thursday, Sept. 17, beginning at 2 p.m. - A burn in the 1300 block of Fairway Drive near Myrtle Creek. Smoke may be visible from I-5, Myrtle Creek, Canyonville, Round Prairie, Tri-City, Riddle and Days Creek. Smoke from the burn could remain visible through Friday, Sept. 18.

Why Pasturelands Are Burned

Prescribed pasture burns are used to improve grazing lands for livestock, enhance wildlife habitat and reduce the amount of vegetation that could fuel a wildfire. They can also help control noxious weeds, brush, insects and plant diseases.

Historically, local landowners have conducted prescribed burns on approximately 10,000 acres each year throughout Douglas County to improve pasturelands and maintain healthy landscapes.

The burns can also make future wildfires easier to contain by reducing the buildup of grasses, brush and other combustible vegetation. Fire officials say wildfires have been more easily contained in some areas where prescribed burning has been conducted regularly.

Each burn is planned before ignition. Fire trails must be established, adequate personnel and fire suppression equipment must be available, and weather conditions must be favorable. Burns are scheduled when expected fire behavior and atmospheric conditions will help direct smoke away from larger population centers and limit impacts on nearby communities.

The permits were confirmed by ODF, but the agency’s notice did not identify who will conduct each burn.

Additional burn locations are awaiting confirmation. More information is expected as those plans are finalized.

SALEM, Ore. - Oregon’s vote-by-mail system will remain unchanged for the November election after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to allow new federal restrictions on mailed ballots to take effect.

The court on Monday rejected an emergency request from the Trump administration to lift a lower-court injunction blocking new U.S. Postal Service requirements ahead of the 2026 midterm election. The decision leaves the injunction in place while the broader legal challenge continues. It does not represent a final ruling on the legality of the proposed requirements.

The proposed rules would have required states to provide the Postal Service with information about voters receiving mail ballots and use approved ballot-envelope designs with unique barcodes. Ballots that did not meet those requirements could have been rejected by the Postal Service.

State and local election officials argued that implementing the changes so close to the election could disrupt ballot delivery and prevent eligible voters from having their ballots counted.

With the Supreme Court declining to intervene, Oregon election officials can continue preparing for the election under the state’s existing vote-by-mail procedures.

“Oregon will vote-by-mail in the November election. Eligible voters should plan to return their ballots via secure drop box or mail them back at least seven days early,” Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read said.

“This is a victory for Oregonians, the right to vote, and the rule of law,” Read said. “This provides voters and elections officials with the certainty they need ahead of a major federal election, and it sends a clear message to this country: Presidents don’t run elections, the people do.”

Oregon’s general election is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 13, and counties are scheduled to begin mailing ballots Oct. 14, according to the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office.

Voters can check or update their registration, find ballot drop-box information and learn more about voting through the Secretary of State’s website.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - For one evening, a stretch of Jackson Street became more than a downtown roadway.

It became a place where hundreds of people sat shoulder to shoulder, shared a meal and talked about the community they call home.

The third annual Douglas County’s Longest Table was organized by Thrive Umpqua, with staff, community partners, and volunteers working together to transform the downtown street into one long gathering place.

The meal at the center of the evening was crafted by Chad and Denise Northcraft of Jackson Street Provisions. With help from volunteers who served guests along the table, they provided a farm-to-table-inspired dinner for hundreds of community members. Their contribution helped turn a closed downtown street into a place where people could gather, eat and feel at home together.

The third annual Douglas County’s Longest Table brought families, friends, community leaders and complete strangers together in Downtown Roseburg on Sunday. The Roseburg Receiver and The Roseburg Plug attended the gathering, meeting participants and hearing what the evening meant to them.

At first glance, it was an impressive sight: one long table stretching through the heart of downtown. But the real meaning of the event could be found in the conversations happening along it.

People introduced themselves to someone new. They traded stories, discussed ideas and talked about what Douglas County already does well, along with what could make it an even better place to live.

John Dimof, one of the event’s organizers, described the Longest Table as an exercise in communication and cooperation.

“One of the things that bonds people and brings people together is food,” he said. “If we can sit, we can enjoy a meal, we can talk with one another, we can become friends. And friends make for a happier community.”

That simple idea was visible throughout the evening.

People who may never have otherwise met found themselves seated beside one another, sharing not only a table but a common interest in the future of their community.

Steve Loosley said seeing so many people gathered downtown was exciting and an important part of bringing more life to the area.

“This is just a huge step toward revitalizing,” Loosley said. “It’s such a wonderful thing to see what Thrive has done here. It’s always the people,” he said. “If it wasn’t for the people, I wouldn’t be here. This is where my friends are. This is my home.”

Loosley also thanked Thrive Umpqua and the volunteers who helped make the evening possible. For him, volunteering offered another opportunity to meet people while serving the community.

“I’m really in my happy place when I’m out there working to serve our community,” he said.

The conversations at the table were not limited to broad ideas about community. Participants discussed specific ways to make Downtown Roseburg more active, welcoming and vibrant.

Raeann Malone, manager of Experience Roseburg and the city’s tourism office, said her group had been talking about ways to bring more activity downtown during the afternoons and on weekends.

“There’s a lot of positive momentum downtown,” she said. “People are really excited about the businesses that exist down here and the new life that is here.”

Even the table itself told a story about the place everyone had gathered to celebrate.

Sam Starns, a local business owner and member of the Thrive Umpqua Longest Table Committee, designed this year’s tablescape around the idea of the Umpqua confluence.

A ribbon of blue represented the Umpqua River, surrounded by native plants from Elder Oaks Nursery and rocks gathered from the river. Markers along the table traced the landscape from Maydew Lake and the headwaters of the South Umpqua River to Reedsport and the Umpqua River Lighthouse.

The rocks will eventually be returned to the river.

“It really is all about this place that we all share,” Starns said.

For Starns, the event also provides something that can sometimes be difficult to find: an opportunity for people of different ages and backgrounds to listen to one another.

“Everybody has such a unique perspective,” Starns said. “When we all come to the table together, great ideas come from it.”

Those ideas do not necessarily end when the tables and chairs are taken down. Previous Longest Table gatherings have helped inspire community projects, and Thrive Umpqua works to turn participants’ suggestions into real efforts.

Among the ideas discussed Sunday were more activities for children, including hands-on science, sensory exhibits and opportunities for young people to make art.

Zach Weiss said the event stands out because it gives people a space to move beyond criticism and instead talk about solutions.

“The world in general is filled with a lot of pessimism,” Weiss said. “This conversation at this table is around what can we do to make things better.”

Weiss said bringing hundreds of people together with the shared goal of improving their community was “a pretty beautiful thing.”

For some, however, the most meaningful part of the evening was simply being reminded of what is already here.

Julie Lowe attended the Longest Table for the first time last year and returned Sunday because of the impression that experience left on her.

“You meet so many neat people that you would have never had a chance to sit by,” Lowe said.

When participants were asked what they loved about Douglas County, they spoke about its mountains, rivers, forests and proximity to both the coast and Crater Lake. But again and again, the answers returned to the people.

Raeann Malone spoke about neighbors who know one another, a community that steps forward when someone needs help and the feeling of belonging somewhere.

“We take care of each other,” one attendee said. “The community aspect here, you know your neighbors, and we care about each other. I think that’s really beautiful.”

By the end of the evening, Jackson Street would return to being a street. The tables would come down and everyone would head home.

But the conversations, introductions and ideas carried away from the table are the reason the event exists.

Because building a stronger community does not always begin with a major project or a sweeping plan.

Sometimes, it begins with pulling up a chair.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians has received a $4.9 million federal grant to build seven new homes for Tribal families in Myrtle Creek.

The Indian Housing Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will support the construction and planning of seven single-family homes in the Tribe’s Wìli Tribal Housing neighborhood.

Each home is expected to have two bedrooms and two bathrooms and will be designed to accommodate accessibility needs. The project is scheduled to be completed by September 2029.

“Affordable housing for our Cow Creek Umpqua Tribal citizens is such a crucial component of self-sufficiency,” Tribal Chairman Carla Keene said. “It helps families and individuals feel a sense of security, stability, tradition, and provides a place for lasting, living memories.”

Keene said the Tribe is looking forward to the grant’s broader contributions to Douglas County.

Tribal officials said the project could also help reduce pressure on the area’s limited housing supply.

“Building homes for our Tribal members does more than fulfill our own responsibilities to our Tribal families,” Cow Creek Umpqua CEO Michael Rondeau said. “It eases pressure on the broader housing market. Every family we house is one less family competing for the limited homes available in Roseburg and throughout the county.”

Four-Plex Construction Begins

The grant announcement comes as the Tribe begins another housing project in the same Myrtle Creek neighborhood.

Tribal leaders recently gathered for the groundbreaking of a new four-plex containing two-bedroom, two-bathroom rental units. Construction is being funded through an Oregon Housing and Community Services Tribal Housing Grant and Tribal government revenue.

The units are expected to be available to Tribal families by early 2028.

“This is our first multi-family development on the low-income housing side, as well as being open to 120% AMI,” Tribal Housing Officer Pamela Culbertson said.

AMI refers to area median income. Culbertson said the expanded eligibility will allow the development to serve Tribal families who earn slightly more than traditional low-income limits but are not yet prepared to purchase a home.

Wìli Tribal Housing

Wìli means “house” in Takelma, the ancestral language of the Cow Creek Umpqua Tribe.

The housing program currently owns and maintains 64 homes rented to Tribal families and members of affiliated Tribes. More than 90% are reserved for low-income households, which pay no more than 25% of their monthly household income toward rent.

HUD awarded $150 million through the latest round of Indian Housing Block Grants to 31 federally recognized Tribes. The funding is expected to support the construction of 463 housing units nationwide.

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs also received $5 million to build seven affordable homes in Oregon.
