The Millbrae City Council held a regular meeting on September 9, 2025, where key discussions centered around community engagement and sustainability initiatives. One of the most notable announcements was the upcoming Electric Vehicle (EV) and Energy Showcase, scheduled for Saturday, September 13, from 10 AM to 1 PM in the library parking lot. This event, organized in partnership with Peninsula Clean Energy, aims to connect EV owners with residents, providing insights into the benefits of electric vehicles, available rebates, and charging options.

City officials emphasized the importance of this showcase as part of Millbrae's commitment to environmental sustainability. The event will feature EV owners sharing their experiences, as well as information on induction cooktops and a loaner program for residents interested in trying out these energy-efficient appliances. The city manager highlighted the installation of over 140 EV chargers in Millbrae, addressing the challenges faced by residents in multi-family housing who may struggle to access charging facilities.

In addition to the EV showcase, the council discussed several upcoming community events, including the annual Relay for Life on the same day, which aims to raise awareness and support for cancer survivors. The city manager also reported on successful past events, such as the Beats, Brews, and Vines concert series, which attracted over 800 attendees and provided a boost to local businesses.

The meeting also recognized outstanding city employees through an awards program, celebrating their contributions to Millbrae's community and operations. The city received accolades for its financial reporting, marking the third consecutive year of achieving excellence in budget transparency.

As Millbrae continues to prioritize sustainability and community engagement, residents are encouraged to participate in upcoming events and initiatives that foster a greener, more connected community.
