The Rohnert Park City Council certified administrative appointments and held a ceremonial program on Dec. 10 that included the administration of oaths of office, staff presentations and a year-in-review video.
City Clerk Sylvia Lopez Cuevas announced that the council adopted Resolution No. 2024035 on June 11, 2024, canceling the general municipal election scheduled for Nov. 5, 2024, pursuant to the California Elections Code, and stated that Samantha Rodriguez (District 1), Gerard Duttighe (District 3) and Jackie Alward (District 4) were appointed "as if elected" and administered the oath of office.
The council paused for a year-in-review presentation.
