Agendas & Minutes Public Meeting Portal

Check each agenda for instructions on how to participate. Some meetings can be attended in person and/or remote by joining Zoom while other meetings are in person only.

How to Navigate the Public Meeting Portal 

The San Mateo Public Meeting Portal displays content for upcoming and archived meetings. 

Meetings are sorted by date, with the earliest meeting appearing on top.  Today and future meetings appear at the top of the list under Current And Upcoming Meetings. Past meetings are listed under the Archived Meetings section. 

The list can be filtered to show meetings for a selected Committee or for a selected date. Search is initiated through the “Text Search” entry field.  

Under the Documents column, clicking “HTML Agenda” or “HTML Packet” opens a new browser tab where you can view and download individual Agenda Reports and attachments. Click on the agenda item’s title to expand the selection.  If the meeting is accompanied by a timestamped video, clicking the item will also advance the recording to where the item is addressed.
