Council Member’s Corner

I’m Jeff Okrepkie, the newly appointed Vice Mayor. I’m grateful for the chance to serve, and I’d love to share what I’m focusing on this year.

First, as a council, we’re committed to responsible budgeting so we can maintain essential services and invest wisely in our future. Second, public safety is a top priority. We’re working to ensure our police, fire, and emergency teams have the resources they need to keep every neighborhood safe. Finally, we’re investing in capital improvements, especially roads and multimodal transportation, to make it easier and safer for everyone to get around our city.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you and working side by side to keep Santa Rosa’s future bright.

Yours in Service,
Jeff Okrepkie
