Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Carlos public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Sidewalk Vending Regulation Update
State law (SB 635) limits how cities can regulate sidewalk vendors, so San Carlos must update its rules. A resident flagged a real safety problem: vendors on Eucalyptus Avenue during Halloween force pedestrians into the street.
Youth Advisory Council Turnover
Eight new student advisors appointed and sworn in for the coming terms, with four retiring members honored for their service.
Technology Disruption Policy for Public Meetings
New state law requires cities to plan for tech outages during public meetings — if the stream goes down, the council must recess, try to fix it, and can only continue after an hour with formal findings.
PCE rebrand to WestLight Energy
Peninsula Clean Energy is changing its name to WestLight Energy; your bill line item will change but nothing else. The Council approved the JPA amendment on consent.
