Bazan elected to chair Parks and Rec Board
Thursday, May 1, 2025 by Amy Smith
Parks and Recreation Board members Monday elected new board leadership, with Stephanie Bazan succeeding Pedro Villalobos as board chair and District 4 representative Kathryn Flowers returning to the vice chair position. Bazan, a District 5 resident, ran in a crowded field for City Council in 2022 and lost a runoff election to Council Member Ryan Alter. Once on the dais, Alter appointed Bazan to the parks board. In nominating Bazan for chair, Villalobos said she has demonstrated her dedication to service by doing her homework and asking good questions. Bazan said she will continue to advocate for equitable access to city parks as well as for funding the needs of the parks department. Villalobos will continue serving on the board as Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes’ appointee.
