Millcreek Council Unanimously Names Cheri Jackson Mayor to Complete Silvestrini’s Term

Public interviews produced a consensus choice that keeps City Hall’s direction steady after Jeff Silvestrini announced his retirement.

Overview

  • The council selected Jackson on Nov. 3 after public interviews of five applicants, including M. Jamie Walker, M. Gardner Reid, Jacob Richardson and Curtis A. Larsen.
  • She will take office on Nov. 10 to serve the remaining two years of Jeff Silvestrini’s term.
  • Silvestrini endorsed Jackson, citing her citywide engagement and alignment with the administration’s established vision.
  • Jackson, a Millcreek native with degrees from Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University, has served as city treasurer and on the Unified Fire Authority and Unified Fire Service Area boards.
  • As a sitting councilmember she did not vote on the appointment, and the council plans a similar process to fill her now-vacant District 3 seat.
