West Sacramento welcomes new public works director Rebecca Scott and planning manager Tristan Osborne

West Sacramento City Council convened on June 4, 2025, highlighting key community initiatives and personnel changes that promise to shape the city's future.

A significant focus of the meeting was the introduction of Rebecca Scott as the new Director of Public Works Operations and Maintenance. City Manager reported that Scott, who previously served as Operations Director at the Citrus Heights Water District, will officially join the team on July 14. Her extensive experience in local government is expected to enhance the city's public works initiatives. The council anticipates her introduction at the upcoming meeting on June 16.

In addition to personnel updates, the council discussed ongoing community support efforts, including the food mobile truck and local food banks, which have been vital in assisting families in need. Council members expressed gratitude for these resources, emphasizing the importance of maintaining such services.

The meeting also served as a platform for community engagement, with reminders about upcoming events, including the State of the City luncheon and various fire academy graduations. These events aim to foster community spirit and celebrate local achievements.

In a poignant moment, a council member requested to adjourn the meeting in memory of their late aunt, Gracilia Graciela Aurora Salina Stetffer, a long-time resident and choir leader in West Sacramento. This personal tribute underscored the community's close-knit nature and the shared history among its members.

As the council moves forward, the integration of new leadership and continued support for community programs are set to play crucial roles in West Sacramento's development.
