Measure K Listening Session Thursday In San Mateo

SAN MATEO, CA — San Mateo residents will have a chance to make their voices heard during a listening session Thursday at College Park Elementary School.

The Board of Supervisors has held a series of listening sessions this month, looking to hear from community members about how Measure K tax dollars should be used to address things like housing, homelessness, emergency preparedness and mental health.

The county recently added the San Mateo session, and those who are unable to attend will still be able to fill out an online survey. One more session is on the docket this week, scheduled for Friday afternoon at Doelger Center in Daly City.

Using feedback from the listening sessions and online survey, county staffers will assemble a report to present to the Board in the fall, before supervisors consider their latest Measure K spending plan.

• San Mateo: Thursday (Aug. 24), 715 Indian Ave., San Mateo.
  • 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
