During the Daly City City Council Regular Meeting on December 9, 2024, a significant milestone was achieved with the introduction of an ordinance to establish a Women's Commission. This initiative, which has been in discussion since February, reflects the council's commitment to advancing gender equity and representation within the community.

Council members expressed their enthusiasm for the creation of the commission, highlighting its importance as a step toward progress in Daly City. The ordinance, which adds Chapter 2.6 to Title 2 of the Daly City Municipal Code, aims to provide a platform for women's voices and issues to be addressed more effectively within local governance.

The council's discussions underscored a collaborative spirit, with members acknowledging the contributions of their colleagues and city staff in bringing this initiative to fruition. The establishment of the Women's Commission positions Daly City as a leader in San Mateo County, marking it as the first city in the area to implement such a commission.

As the council moves forward, the focus will shift to appointing members to the commission, which is expected to play a crucial role in advocating for women's rights and addressing gender-related challenges in the community. This development not only signifies a progressive step for Daly City but also sets a precedent for other municipalities in the region to follow.

The meeting concluded with a sense of pride among council members, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in achieving community goals. The establishment of the Women's Commission is anticipated to foster greater inclusivity and support for women in Daly City, paving the way for future initiatives aimed at enhancing community welfare.
