Mayor & Council
Your Elected Officials Working for You
Sebastopol is the only city in Sonoma County west of the Highway 101 corridor. We’re a very special city not only because of our favored location close to the Pacific coastline, but also because we enjoy the active participation of citizens interested in improving our excellent quality of life.
This website is intended to help you understand how to engage with policy makers and city staff so that your interests to improve our city will be considered and your efforts more effective. Please return to this website often as we plan to have regular updates and new features.
Sebastopol is governed under the Council – Manager system. The City Council has five members, each elected to a four-year term. Terms are staggered.
