The City of Burlingame is accepting applications for one vacancy on the Storm Drain Citizen’s Oversight Committee.

This important role, which ensures that funds collected from storm drain fees are spent only on the storm drainage program, is mandated by the voters who approved the storm drain fee ballot measure to upgrade the storm drainage system to alleviate chronic flooding and protect public health and safety in May 2009.

The Storm Drain Citizen’s Oversight Committee consists of three members and generally meets once a year. To apply, please complete the application and supplemental questionnaire, which can be found here.

Completed applications can be emailed to sbrewer@burlingame.org, or sent via USPS to the Department of Public Works, Attn: Stephanie Brewer, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. The application process will remain open until the vacancy is filled.

The Burlingame Pet Parade will not take place again this year, according to parade organizers. "While things are thankfully looking good right now with the pandemic, we don’t know what things will look like in September. We’d rather be safe than sorry and the Broadway Merchants think it’s best to cancel this year’s Pet Parade. We’ll see everyone next year!" said Ayn Gilmore of AVR Realty, the lead coordinator of the parade.
