A resident asked whether the Lincoln Community Center could open as a neighborhood gathering and meeting space to boost civic engagement.
State and county park pass lending
A trustee tested the state park pass checkout and found it simple and reliable. The library has added San Mateo County park passes too — a free way for families to access parks without entrance fees.

Hip Hop Day 2026 Sponsorship
The free, all-ages Hip Hop Day festival is set for August 22, and Commissioner Ortiz is searching for sponsors and donations to keep food and admission free for everyone.
