Join us for County & Nonprofit Partnerships Summit Part II: Measure K Listening Session.
The County of San Mateo is updating its processes for allocating Measure K funds and determining community needs and priorities. During this process, the County wants to hear what our residents and community partners have to say about the current needs and challenges within our community. To ensure we have as much feedback as possible, we need to hear from you. *Please see the disclaimer below.
Measure K is a countywide half-cent sales tax extension passed by local voters in November 2016 to support essential County services and to maintain or replace critical facilities, providing local funds for local needs. Approximately $50 million will be distributed within these areas:
Children and Families
Housing and Homelessness
Mental Health
Emergency Preparedness
The purpose of this event is to gather your input on what the most critical needs, challenges, or gaps in service are.
The information you provide will help shape our conversations with the larger community during several town halls being scheduled this summer. Your voice matters, and this event offers a unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful change and make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it the most.
Please bring a maximum of two people per organization.
The event will be held at the San Mateo County Event Center. A buffet lunch will follow. The deadline to register for the event will be Friday, July 7th, 2023, at 5:00 PST. Please be sure to register before the deadline!

County of San Mateo: County Warns of Crackdown on Illegal Fireworks, Higher Fines for Violators
In an effort to crack down on illegal fireworks this Fourth of July, County of San Mateo officials are emphasizing the harm the booms, bangs, and sparks can cause to pets, young children, and entire neighborhoods. “When you light that firework, you get a momentary pop but the damage can last a lifetime,” said Mike Callagy, the County’s chief executive officer. “Every year dogs and cats run away and never return home, children are burned and homes and entire forests go up in flames. We ask that everyone stop and think about the consequences of their actions.” And those consequences also include a new slate of penalties for spectators, property owners, and parents or guardians.
