Burlingame is a special place with a strong sense of community. We welcome public participation and involve citizens in major decisions. Like you, I take pride in our city's beautiful parks and trees, its top-notch services and its thriving shopping districts. But I’ve never assumed that the city operates on autopilot.
I invite you to get involved in our city to help make it even better. You can help make your neighborhood safer by joining the Burlingame Neighborhood Network and build community spirit by helping plan the annual Burlingame Pet Parade. Want to make our city greener and more sustainable? Join the Citizens Environmental Council – Burlingame. To help monitor power reliability and underground pipeline safety, join Burlingamers Unwilling to Live with Blackouts (BULB).
To get up to speed on city issues and learn on how your talents can help our city, please come to city and community meetings. You can see the city’s meeting calendar here. To stay in the loop, sign up for the city's e-newsletter here and my e-newsletter here.
Working together, we can all make Burlingame even better.
