Candidate for
City Council Member; City of South San Francisco

Dear Neighbor, My name is Richard Garbarino and and it is my honor to serve you at City Hall as your current Mayor.

As a 40-year resident of South San Francisco, I am proud of my service to the community as a city councilmember and citizen. In difficult financial times, the City Council managed to add new police officers, firefighters, and public works department staff.

As a result of the City Council's responsible financial management, all other city services for residents were maintained without cuts.

I am also very proud of the many other important accomplishments during my past term, including:

• Bringing new businesses, both large and small, to our city including Lowe's, Peet's Coffee, and many others.
• Establishing a new ambulance service for non-emergency medical services.
• 700 new units of housing for all income levels, including affordable housing for seniors and young families.
• New and planned childcare centers.
• 4 years of balanced budgets.
• Street and sewer repairs, additional library hours, a new central fire station, and many park improvements.

If you have questions or want to discuss anything in particular, please call or email me. I can be reached at (650) 872-1143 or via email at familyg18@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Rich Garbarino Mayor, City of South San Francisco
