We can and must do more to keep our citizens and business owners informed of what’s happening in San Bruno. The City has a policy of sending mailed notices to residents/business owners within 500 feet of a subject property, but this is antiquated and inadequate.
I advocate for allowing residents to create an account on the City website (this is already in place) and then be able to choose from a menu of current and upcoming issues on which they would like to be informed. Our various city departments can then use that information to send out mass email announcements in addition to the mailers they’re already sending.
I’ve talked with Jovan about this, I know he is interested in improving engagement, and giving citizens a digital option to replace stuff like the mailers that go out for development projects.
