City of University Place

Figueroa

Wood

The University Place City Council elected Council Member Javier Figueroa to serve as the city's new mayor and Council Member Ed Wood to serve as mayor pro tem. Both will occupy their new roles for the next two years, through the end of 2025. This change in leadership is standard practice in University Place, where the council sets the term for these positions on a two-year cycle. Figueroa served the last two years as mayor pro tem and also served as the city's mayor in 2016 and 2017. He has been a member of the University Place City Council since 2010 and serves on numerous regional organizations, including the executive boards of the Pierce County Regional Council and Puget Sound Regional Council. Wood was elected to the University Place City Council in 2021, beginning his term of service in November 2021. He has served the last two years as the city's finance committee chair. He has also been on the public safety advisory commission since 2010, serving as co-chair beginning in 2017, and serving as its chair in 2020 to 2021.
