Parks Commission
The San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Commission is responsible for establishing policies to guide the work of the San Mateo Department of Parks. This includes issues of parkland use management such as master plans, acquisitions, and development. Also included are programmatic issues such as recreational use in County parks, permits and reservations, fees, and gaps in service. The Commission is actively involved in helping set budget priorities and fostering the recruitment and placement of volunteers in County parks.This year's proposed projects and goals are outlined in the Parks Commission Annual Work Plan.
Commissioners receive input from citizens on County Parks' issues and make recommendations, as appropriate, to the Board of Supervisors. They also act as liaison to a number of support groups such as the Parks' Foundation, Volunteer Roundtable, and other ad hoc committees that may be appointed. They may serve as Commission liaison to special projects, especially related to master plan developments.
