Woodside council re‑elects Brian Dombkowski as mayor and reappoints Paul Gold as mayor pro tem
Summary
Council unanimously voted to renominate Mayor Brian Dombkowski for a second year and to reappoint Paul Gold as mayor pro tem. Members cited continuity for the town center area plan and housing element work; council also presented a formal commendation recognizing the mayor’s service.
At the start of the Dec. 9 meeting the Town Council moved to renominate Mayor Brian Dombkowski for a second one‑year term. Council member Paul (speaker 7) made the nomination, a colleague seconded it, and council voted unanimously in favor. Mayor Dombkowski expressed humility and appreciation for the council’s confidence.
The council also reappointed Council member Paul Gold to continue as mayor pro tem for 2026. Members emphasized continuity—particularly as the town moves forward with the Town Center Area Plan and a fast‑tracked housing element review—when explaining why they preferred incumbents for the coming year.
The council read a formal proclamation recognizing Dombkowski’s service, listing his involvement in the town center area plan, the Cycle 6 housing element approval, parking expansion at Canada Corners and his role in the town‑manager transition. The mayor accepted the proclamation and thanked staff, council and family.
