Being Mayor of Foster City
Being Mayor of Foster City
I still have a smile on my face every time I think about being Mayor of this great City. I have just been Mayor for a couple of weeks and have attended many extra meetings, city functions and gatherings. I am seeing first hand what former mayors? schedules were like. Our city has some projects that the council and I will be working hard on this coming year.
  • Insuring we have a balanced budget.
  • Dredging of our lagoons.
  • Breaking ground on PJCC and ESOP site.
  • Refurbishing Leo Ryan Park.
  • Continuing the civic center master plan.
  • Installing a new marquee at corner of Shell Blvd. and E. Hillsdale Blvd. (you will be able to read the new one).
  • Supporting the demolition of San Mateo High School.
  • Dedicating the Sports Wall of Fame at Sea Cloud Park and the Community Wall of Fame at the Recreation Center.
  • Improving transportation for our seniors.
  • Adding many more programs for our seniors.
  • Working to revitalize our advisory committees.
  • Seeing the completion of the Marlin Cove and Miramar housing developments.

    This is just a small list of things I want to see started and completed next year. Being Mayor is very exciting for me but I also know that I need the support of our city council to accomplish all these projects. With the full council seated at this time I look forward to this coming year.

    If you would like to contact me anytime this year you can call my city number (650)286-3503 and leave a voice mail or email me at rcox@fostercity.org. The email is the best. You can also call Sharon Kwok at (650)286-3223.
    I look forward to serving you all this year.
