Jeff served the residents of District 1 as a City Councilman from April 2005 to April 2008. As Councilman, Jeff strived to be responsive to the needs of the residents and was available when needed.

Jeff continues to serve on the City’s visioning effort called “Renew the Blue – Reaching Higher!” In 2008 Jeff received the National League of City's Bronze Leadership Fellow Award. Constituents and colleagues alike often referred to him as a voice of reason on the council.

It has been rewarding getting to know so many of the city's residents and was exciting to work to see their dreams for the city realized. It was eye opening to see the amount of time and effort it sometimes takes to see projects through to their completion. Jeff realizes that some things can only be set in motion and the results may be years in the making. During his time in office Jeff helped bring redevelopment to Highway 7 as well as new shopping opportunities and restaurants for our residents to dine in with the Adams Dairy Landing and Coronado Place projects. He also helped facilitate the beginnings of the redevelopment of the area surrounding Highway 7 & Highway 40 and downtown Blue Springs. /p>
