The City of North Bend welcomes three councilmembers – one newly elected and two reelected – to the City Council this year.
Oaths of Office were administered to returning councilmembers Mark Joselyn, Position No. 6, and Errol Tremolada, Position No. 4, at the December 2, 2025 City Council meeting. Councilmember Joselyn began serving in 2022, and in 2025, he served as Mayor Pro Tem. Councilmember Tremolada began serving in 2023.
Newly elected Councilmember Rob McFarland took his Oath of Office on December 29, 2025. Mr. McFarland previously served as North Bend’s mayor from 2020 to 2024. His term as a councilmember, Position No. 2, began January 1, 2026.
“As elected officials, community is at the core of every decision we make. It requires a whole lot of time, collaboration, and passion for public service,” Mayor Miller said. “On behalf of myself and city staff, we look forward to these new and continued partnerships in 2026.”
Councilmember Tremolada was selected by his peers to serve as the 2026 Mayor Pro Tem. As Mayor Pro Tem, he will coordinate with the administration, setting the agenda for monthly Workstudy sessions, support the Council’s standing committees in a variety of ways, and he will serve in the absence of the mayor.
“Thank you to my colleagues for your trust,” he said during the December 2 City Council meeting. “I have a very good working relationship with all of you, and I look forward to taking on this role.”
The Council, Mayor Miller and city staff met for the first City Council meeting of the year on Tuesday, January 6. Watch a recording of the January 6, 2026 Council meeting by visiting the city’s YouTube page or viewing it at www.northbendwa.gov/civicmedia.
