CIVIC LIFE · EVENTS · NEWS
Know what is happening—and what is actually decided.
A useful local news desk starts with the calendar, the agenda, the announcement, and the named source. It then adds the context a resident or visitor needs to understand why the update matters.
Editorial standard: We distinguish an event from an announcement, a proposal from an adopted decision, and a source document from a summary. Dates and links stay visible so readers can check the original.
The local source desk
Five places to check first.
These sources are maintained by the organizations that publish the underlying information.
CITY CALENDAR
Meetings and public events.
Use the City calendar for council and commission meetings, community events, recreation, cultural programs, and schedule changes.
Open the City calendar ↗CITY GOVERNMENT
Decisions and public work.
Government pages explain departments, services, public meetings, commissions, and where official decisions are recorded.
Open City government ↗PRESS ROOM
Announcements and releases.
The City’s press room is a starting point for official updates. A release is a source, not automatically the whole story.
Open the media room ↗SCHOOLS & RECREATION
Family-facing events.
School calendars and Recreation pages often carry the practical details—registration, minimum days, programs, scholarships, and locations.
Open the family guide →COMMUNITY NEWS GUIDE
Know what kind of source you are reading.
Official announcements, public records, independent reporting, community media, and alerts each answer different questions.
Open the source-labeled news guide →LIVE SOURCE · REFRESHES EVERY 5 MINUTES
Upcoming Millbrae events.
Pulled from the City’s official City Events and Community Events feeds.
LIVE SOURCE · REFRESHES EVERY 5 MINUTES
Latest City News Flash.
Titles, dates, summaries, and links come from the City’s official RSS feed.
This is a source index, not an independent news rewrite. Open the City News Flash page ↗ · Open the official RSS feed ↗
LIVE SOURCE · REFRESHES EVERY 5 MINUTES
Agenda Center updates.
The City’s official RSS feed reports agenda, minutes, cancellation, and meeting-record updates.
An agenda or update is not automatically an adopted decision. Open the official Agenda Center ↗ · Open the agenda RSS feed ↗
COMMUNITY SOURCE DESK
News and programs beyond City Hall.
These institutions publish their own updates; each source has its own audience, schedule, and editorial responsibility.
SCHOOLS
District calendars and family updates.
School-year dates, registration, student services, and district news come from Millbrae Elementary School District. Use the district for school decisions and family communications.
Open the district calendar ↗LIBRARY
Programs, learning, and public space.
San Mateo County Libraries maintains current Millbrae programs, services, hours, and event information. Library programming is community information, not City Council action.
Browse library events ↗RECREATION
Camps, sports, classes, and facilities.
Millbrae Recreation publishes seasonal programs, registration, facility information, and youth and senior activities. Availability and eligibility can change by session.
Open Millbrae Recreation ↗COMMUNITY MEDIA
Meetings and local events on video.
Millbrae Community Television records public meetings and community events, adding a visual record that complements an agenda, press release, or calendar entry.
Find MCTV through the City directory ↗We keep these links separate from the live City feeds above so readers can tell who published an update and what kind of information it represents.
How a local update becomes useful

Add official feeds to your calendar.
The City’s iCalendar page explains how to subscribe to City Council, City Events, Community Events, Recreation, Planning, and other public calendars.
Subscribe to City calendar feeds ↗CITY EVENTS FEED
Keep community events close.
This direct feed is maintained by the City’s calendar system. Use it when you want event updates without relying on a copied list.
Open the City Events feed ↗COMMUNITY EVENTS FEED
Follow local gatherings.
Community Events is a separate official calendar category, useful for events that are not City Council or commission meetings.
Open the Community Events feed ↗The community layer
Local stories need a home, too.
The hub now includes source-linked stories about neighborhoods, businesses, schools, public spaces, rail, place names, and global connections. Community tips can suggest new leads; publication still requires attribution, dates, and a checkable source.
Start with the story archive for evergreen explainers, the community directory for local businesses, and the knowledge hub for the city’s longer story.
