Millbrae City Council has an upcoming meeting on 2026-07-28

The Millbrae City Council is scheduled to hold both a special closed session and a regular meeting on July 28, 2026. These meetings mark the next official opportunities for the council to discuss city matters and make decisions following their last sessions earlier this summer.

Separately, residents may want to stay informed about ongoing city issues such as the Millbrae Station Multimodal Development project, which aims to enhance transit connections at a key regional hub, and the update to the Urban Water Management Plan addressing long-term water supply reliability. The city is also navigating a mayoral vacancy that affects local governance. While no new meetings are currently scheduled soon, these topics remain important for Millbrae’s future and could appear on upcoming council agendas.
