Ad Hoc Planning Committee
The Ad Hoc Planning Committee for the City’s 50th Anniversary/Birthday had served a limited term in an advisory capacity at the pleasure of the City Council. The Ad Hoc Planning Committee provided input and assisted in the planning efforts, developing the overall vision of the City’s Golden Anniversary Celebration. Not only did the Ad Hoc Planning Committee discuss potential ideas and programs for the 2021 calendar year to commemorate Foster City’s 50th Anniversary, but their work culminated in a 50th Anniversary Program proposal that was brought forth and approved by the City Council in November 2020.
