The Roseburg City Council meeting on December 3, 2024, focused on the next steps for the Urban Campground project, highlighting the challenges the council faces in securing a suitable location. The council discussed their previous efforts to solicit proposals from real estate agents, which yielded no responses. As a result, they considered reaching out to a specific agent who had previously assisted the homeless committee for potential leads.

Council members expressed the need for clarity on how to proceed if the suggested agent is interested. They emphasized the importance of establishing a commission agreement before any properties are shown. There was also a discussion about the possibility of reviewing previously considered properties, such as the Winchester property, to see if they might now be viable options.

Additionally, one council member proposed inviting Bernie Woodard to discuss his ongoing projects, suggesting that they might offer alternative solutions to the campground issue. This idea was met with a willingness to explore the option, provided all members remain open to the discussion.

The council concluded the meeting by agreeing to contact the suggested real estate agent to gauge their interest in assisting with the Urban Campground project. The outcome of this outreach will determine the next steps in the council's efforts to address the city's needs for a campground.
