Approximately 30 hours per week

 

The City of San Bruno Community and Economic Development Department is looking for bright and enthusiastic summer interns to work with the Planning and Housing Manager in developing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a qualified consultant firm to administer the City’s Affordable Housing Program.  Currently, the City has approximately $3.8 Million in the affordable housing in-lieu fund.  The fee was established is 2008 and applies to both residential and nonresidential development projects.  Because of the significant cost to implement new affordable housing projects and the affordable housing fees not being adequate to fund such a project, the City has not yet programmed the funds. In November 2019, City Council appropriated $70,000 of the affordable housing fund to hire a consulting firm to conduct research and develop a plan and implementation alternatives, including policy options and funding opportunities, for the programming of the funds in the future.  A review of the City’s development pipeline forecasts a potentially significant amount of affordable housing in-lieu and/or commercial linkage fees to be collected within the next few years.  The City is looking for individuals to assist in selecting the consultant firm to prepare an implementation plan to ensure the funds are programmed effectively. 

This will be a rewarding and valuable experience for those who are interested in the planning and related field and desire introductory work experience. Interns will conduct research, collect and analyze data, and prepare draft documents for work related to affordable housing and preparation of a Request for Proposal (RFP).

Feel a sense of pride and fulfillment every day! Are you seeking a challenging, yet rewarding and gratifying career that's more than just a job? The County of San Mateo invites you to begin a career in which your commitment and outstanding contributions will add significant value to public safety every day.  
 
The County of San Mateo Public Safety Dispatch is immediately looking to fill several 911 Dispatcher I positions.

911 Dispatchers perform more routine duties of radio dispatch for law enforcement, fire and ambulance services. In addition, incumbents are expected to learn the more difficult or responsible duties typically assigned to the position in the next higher class of 911 Dispatcher II. 911 Dispatcher I candidates will demonstrate the proven ability to work in a fast paced environment while performing multiple crucial tasks simultaneously.

Rarely will you ever get a chance to meet the hundreds of people who call for help, yet they'll depend on your voice, your directions, and your knowledge to get through an emergency. No day is ever routine - one call may be a minor traffic accident, while the next is a frantic voice screaming for help. Both will be depending on your calm, firm voice and direction until help can arrive. Using state-of-the-art equipment and training, you'll provide the excellent service and security people have come to expect from San Mateo County Public Safety Communications.  

WHAT DO I NEED TO HAVE TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION?
