The Folsom City Council selected Mike Kozlowski as mayor and Sarah Aquino as vice mayor at the December 12 City Council meeting. The City Council chooses one of its members to preside as mayor and vice mayor annually. The one-year terms are effective immediately. 

"I am grateful to serve as the City of Folsom's mayor, and I appreciate the Council's trust in me. I’m honored to serve such a great community. I look forward to working with our Council and community members to make Folsom an even better place," said Mayor Mike Kozlowski. "The year ahead promises both opportunities and challenges, especially when it comes to addressing a projected budget deficit with more costs and service demands than we have revenue. I'm committed to leading alongside my fellow Councilmembers as we work with our community to address the funding gap."
