Council Meeting - October 19, 2026

The Foster City Council meeting on October 19, 2026 included recognition of the 2026 iVoted sticker contest winners and a presentation on the San Mateo County Library system’s 2025–26 annual report. The report highlighted library usage, literacy and cultural programs, digital resources, the forthcoming bookmobile, and Foster City’s maker activities; no library contract awards or purchasing decisions were discussed. During discussion of a park lighting project, council members asked about neighborhood outreach, noise, light spill, and possible shielding or controls. Staff said the design would include a photometric study and that plans and specifications would return to Council. A motion to adopt the related resolution was approved; the transcript provides no project cost or vendor. Public commenters also requested review of a councilmember’s social media posts under the Code of Conduct, but no action was taken on that request. Council reports included longer-term capital improvement planning at Rethink Waste, with rates expected to rise over time to fund major items.
