The Millbrae City Council meeting on September 2, 2025, highlighted the vital contributions of local organizations and community safety initiatives, showcasing the strong ties between the city and its residents.

A significant focus of the meeting was the recognition of the Millbrae Lions Club for their ongoing support of local schools and families. President John Celentano and Vice President John Hippley shared their commitment to community service, emphasizing their recent efforts in organizing back-to-school events. Notably, the Lions Club served over 600 hamburgers at Taylor Middle School, demonstrating their active role in fostering community spirit. They also provide essential support during the holiday season, donating gift cards and school supplies to families in need.

In addition to the Lions Club's contributions, the meeting addressed the partnership between the city and the school district regarding the Safe Routes to School program. This initiative includes cost-sharing for crossing guards, ensuring the safety of students as they travel to and from school.
