Mayor Amy Bublak

Turlock residents,

I am humbled to have your support and thank you for returning me as your mayor. Turlock is a special place. Our shared love of this city and each other makes us Turlock Strong.

We have accomplished so much, but there is more work to be done. We have two new council members whom I look forward to working with as we continue to work on behalf of you. We have an outstanding city manager, and with his leadership, have reorganized our departments and services for better quality and efficiency. Our executive team and staff are doing an outstanding job. Your council unanimously voted to support our plan to operate the Stanislaus Regional Water Authority project, ensuring we have accountability and savings in costs associated with future surface water service. We have completed some road repairs and have additional road projects under construction. We are filling vacant positions in the fire and police departments. We are working with community partners on homelessness in our efforts to assist those who want assistance when they've fallen on hard times while not sacrificing standards for community well-being. We are under construction on the Columbia Pool. We will ensure our businesses have every opportunity to compete and thrive in a difficult economic climate.
