Prineville council declares mayor's office vacant after Jason Beebe's immediate resignation
Summary
City Attorney Jered Reid presented a resignation letter saying Mayor Jason Beebe resigned effective immediately; the council unanimously declared the mayor's position vacant and outlined an application and interview process, with Council President Steve Uffelman saying he will apply.
City Attorney Jered Reid told the council that a resignation letter dated June 15 states Jason Beebe "has resigned from his position as Mayor, effective immediately, citing personal reasons." The council voted to declare the mayor's position vacant, a motion moved by Councilor Shane Howard and carried without discussion.
Reid explained submission requirements for anyone inside city limits (letter of interest plus volunteer application) and that the council can hold a July 28 workshop to review applications and conduct interviews. Council President Steve Uffelman said he "will submit a letter of interest for the Mayor’s position and will not run for re-election." The council did not take further action at the meeting beyond setting the procedural steps for filling the vacancy.
