Mayor, Position 5 - Rob Cerqui

I am a life long resident of the Fife area and have observed many changes over the years. Fife has experienced much growth. Managing growth, while keeping a balance between business, residents and open space is the key for a bright future and high quality of life. Maintaining this balance while focusing on the needs of our community and infrastructure are our current goals and challenges. Your City Council has made progress with our Community Mixed Use zone and our walkabilty goals, but we need to focus on ensuring that these goals become reality. I also support strong public safety, parks and the overall efficiency of government.
