Community Spotlight with Fairfield Bay Mayor Jackie Sikes
Mayor Jackie Sikes has been at the forefront of Fairfield Bay’s leadership for several years. Born in Denver, Colorado, and educated there and in California, Sikes has been a resident of Fairfield Bay for five years. Her commitment to the community is evident in her many initiatives and interactions with the public.
As part of her community outreach, Sikes had announced her candidacy for Mayor of Fairfield Bay in the 2022 November General Election. She actively engaged with the community through “meet and greets” at local venues, fostering open communication and listening to residents’ concerns.
In recent times, however, Sikes has faced a petition drive to remove her from office. This drive was successful, and the removal question will be on the November ballot. Additionally, Sikes has been involved in controversies, including secretly recording and releasing videos of a city employee crying due to her unreasonable requests, further escalating the tensions.
Around the same time, Fairfield Bay has faced internal struggles within its property owners’ association (POA) due to accusations of self-dealing and mismanagement. This has led to lawsuits and counter-lawsuits among the parties involved in the conflict, further highlighting the need for strong and fair leadership in the community.
- Mayor Sikes’ local engagement has been crucial in building relationships within the community.
