Town Hall Meetings Coming to San Mateo

Councilmember David Lim will help host the two town hall meetings, scheduled to take place over the next three weeks.

Councilmember David Lim will help host two town hall meetings in San Mateo in an effort to engage the community in local issues, the first of which is scheduled to take place Thursday.

Thursday's meeting, sponsored by the San Mateo Chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans, will feature Assemblymembers Jerry Hill and Sally Lieber as they discuss “How Redistricting Affects You.”

“With San Mateo County being drawn into new districts for the California Assembly (22nd District), California Senate (13th District), and U.S. Congress (14th District), it is important for residents to know how these new district boundries will affect their representation at all levels of government,” Lim said in a statement.

“We are lucky to have two of our local leaders from Sacramento on hand to discuss this important topic in an informal town hall format,” he said.

The meeting Thursday will take place from 6-8 p.m. at San Mateo City Hall.

On Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 6-7 p.m. at the San Mateo Public Library (3rd Ave. at El Camino), Lim will host “San Mateo Unplugged,” a town hall meeting to discuss goals and issues important to residents of the city of San Mateo.

“Residents asked me to host a more informal gathering where instead of agendized meetings, they can just come and chat with members of the City Council about issues important to them,” Lim said.
