How to Wrap Up Summer in District 6 |

Hello Neighbor,
Thank you to everyone who celebrated Independence Day with me at the Rose, White, and Blue Parade.
I had a great time speaking to many neighbors about what we can accomplish together to make District 6 and our city better.

I'd like to end our summer on a high note by inviting you to a few outdoor events including National Night Out, Jazz and Roses, and Roses and Reels.
Please remember that we can continue to slow the spread of COVID-19 and its variants by receiving your booster and by vaccinating children as young as 6 months old.
As always, I love hearing from you. I encourage you to attend this month's Office Hours or send my office an email about how we can improve every resident's quality of life.
Best,
Dev

How to Report Fireworks Online
1. Snap: Take a photo or video of the person using illegal fireworks if you can safely do so.
3. Report: Complete the online report in as much detail as possible to assist the City with taking enforcement action.
All fireworks, even those labeled ‘safe and sane’ are dangerous and illegal to own, sell or use in San José. Fines for using illegal fireworks now begin at $1,000 and the sale of fireworks can cost up to $50,000 plus jail time, depending on the quantity. If you observe an active fire or experience a medical emergency, call 911.
