Matt
has served on the San Carlos City Council since 2001; he was the city's mayor in 2005, the same year he was chair of the Belmont-San Carlos Fire Board. In 2009, Matt was elected chair of C/CAG's Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
When asked, What is your greatest satisfaction from serving on the San Carlos City council for eight plus years?
Matt stated without hesitation,
Working with Council Members from Belmont to put our fire department together. Matt's effort, along with the hard work of many others, created the Belmont-
San Carlos Fire Department, replacing what was then known as South County Fire.
Matt also cites with pleasure, the eight years he has served on C/CAG's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. During that time, he has seen numerous projects completed throughout the county, improving access for bicycles and pedestrians. Does any one project stand out more than the others? Again,
Matt doesn't hesitate.
The bicycle/pedestrian trail that parallels Highway 1 in Half Moon Bay. It's been great to see so many miles of that trail completed!
Matt has also served on the San Francisco Airport Community Roundtable; County/Cities Association of Governments (C/CAG) Airport Land Use Commission, Congestion Management Program & Environmental Committee; the San Mateo County Library Governing Board; the San Mateo County Convention & Visitors Bureau.
