Greetings!
At the City Council reorganization meeting this week, the Council, County and State representatives, and members of the public recognized Deirdre Martin for her four years of service on City Council, the last year as Mayor. Councilmember Sue Vaterlaus was seated for her second four-year term, and Tygarjas Twyrls Bigstyck was seated as the newest Councilmember. Additionally, the Council elected Sue Beckmeyer as Mayor and Mary Bier as Mayor Pro Tem for the next year. Congratulations to all!
As you’ve likely heard, this week San Mateo County, in addition to 10 other Bay Area counties, was placed under the state’s Stay-At-Home Order due to COVID-19 surge. See this Press Release for additional information. Health Officials are clearly attributing this surge to unsafe Thanksgiving holiday activities. As we head into the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, please follow health orders to remain safe and help minimize another surge in January. So much depends on your actions. And please help support local businesses and restaurants during this continuing challenge. A more detailed Mayor’s letter to the community will follow early next week from Mayor Beckmeyer.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager

Add your phone to California’s exposure notification system to get COVID-19 exposure alerts and to protect those around you.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once you activate CA Notify, it does all the work. All you do is keep your Bluetooth on. You will only receive alerts if you were in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19. Your privacy is protected as your identity is not known and your location is not tracked.

To ensure all Californians are earthquake prepared, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) developed Earthquake Warning California, which is the nation’s first statewide earthquake warning system that provides several seconds of warning to mobile device users in the area before shaking occurs. Earthquake Warning California offers no-cost earthquake warning resources, including:
-
MyShake App. A mobile app that can be downloaded for mobile devices at no cost from Google Play the Apple App Store. App location services must be set to “always on” so that ground sensors can alert those in the nearby area when shaking is detected.
-
Android Earthquake Alerts. An earthquake warning system available to any new or updated Android devices that uses that same technology as the MyShake App.
-
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs). Text-like messages from the government during emergency situations. This includes: Presidential, Imminent Threat (fire, earthquake, floods, etc.), and AMBER alerts.
Earthquake Warning California resources are designed to notify users to quickly take protective action such as to drop, cover, and hold on. These earthquake warning tools can help protect lives and prevent damage to properties in the areas hardest hit during an earthquake. During serious shaking situations, individuals may be knocked down to the ground, so sheltering prior to shaking is the prudent thing to do.
To learn more about Earthquake Warning California, the no-cost warning alert tools, and additional resources available to the public, visit earthquake.ca.gov.
