About the Council

The Yachats City Council is made up of the Mayor and four Councilors. The Mayor and Councilors must be residents of the City of Yachats and are elected by the residents of Yachats. Councilors serve four-year terms and the Mayor serves a two-year term.

Our village is a place where natural resources are valued and protected, where diversity is celebrated and where a vibrant economy and sense of community pride create and recreate a living spirit. The Yachats community cares for its citizens' basic needs and supports them in their efforts to thrive mentally, physically, artistically, and spiritually. It is a community with an enduring sense of itself.
