San Bruno’s City Council is decamping to the Recreation and Aquatic Center next Tuesday for a potentially long night of decisions that hit close to home, with a special session at 5:30 PM and the regular meeting at 7 PM. On tap are big choices about the future of the Crestmoor athletic fields and a public hearing on inflation-linked sewer and wastewater charges, two moves that could reshape local parks and household utility bills. Residents can weigh in in person or tune in online as the meeting stretches into the evening.
Where to watch and how to weigh in
The council will meet at 251 City Park Way at the San Bruno Recreation and Aquatic Center, with both in-person seating and remote viewing options. Broadcast and teleconference details are listed on the San Bruno Calendar. Full agenda packets and staff reports are posted in the city’s online Agenda Center.
Residents planning to speak at the public hearing should check the agenda materials in advance for sign-in instructions and any written-protest procedures included by staff, so there are no surprises when their item comes up.
What's on the docket
The city’s brief public notice highlights two marquee topics for the night: construction and rehabilitation work at the Crestmoor fields, and a public hearing on inflation-based adjustments to sewer and wastewater charges, bundled with discussion of possible ballot measures for the November 2026 election. That preview appeared on the City of San Bruno’s social account; see City of San Bruno on X for the post.

Crestmoor Fields: What will be discussed
The Crestmoor Multi-Use Fields project has been under study for years as San Bruno weighs how to rework athletic fields and related amenities in that neighborhood. Staff materials cited in past council packets indicate the conversation is shifting from high-level master planning to more concrete design and construction choices, including how work might be phased and how it could be funded, items that may land in front of the council next week.
For residents who want to get up to speed before the meeting, the City of San Bruno’s Crestmoor project page offers background on the plan and prior outreach efforts.
Sewer rates, inflation indexing and the ballot
During the regular meeting, the council will open a public hearing during which staff will present inflation-linked updates to sewer and wastewater charges, along with related resolutions that could eventually move the issue to the voters. A local agenda roundup has noted that staff may ask the council to adopt a resolution directing that annual sewer service charges for FY 2026-27 be collected on the San Mateo County property tax roll, a formal step that cities often use when they adjust how special charges are billed.
Residents who are keeping an eye on potential increases are encouraged to review the agenda packet and attend the hearing to ask questions or submit comments for the record.
What to expect next
If the council takes initial action on either Crestmoor or the sewer and wastewater items, staff could return in the coming weeks with formal ordinances, detailed fee schedules or proposed ballot language. Those who cannot attend in person can still follow along on the broadcast or submit written comments through the city’s regular channels, with contact information and filing instructions spelled out in the agenda packet.
