NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AT NORTHWOOD PARK |
|
We're one week away! Next Tuesday, August 3rd at 6PM, I will be hosting a community National Night Out event at Northwood Park. As I'm sure many of you are, we're very excited to be out in the community for a night of family fun with games, activities and a free Ice Cream Social! Come out and meet members of the Fire Department along with their advanced HAZMAT response vehicle, the San Jose Police Department, and many of your neighbors and elected officials from across our wonderful district.

As we work on rebuilding together, I want to start some new traditions here in District 4. This National Night Out event at Northwood Park will be the first of many moving forward and my goal is to work closely with all of you to bring more and more events to the district. I want to bring all of us closer by helping to establish stronger relationships with the City staff and services as well as with those responsible for our public safety. A closer community is a safer community and I want us all to work toward that together. |
|
Neighborhoods across our city will be joining over 38 million people and 16 thousand communities in celebrating National Night Out, and you can register here if you're interested in hosting one in your neighborhood. In future years, I hope to support many National Night Out events throughout the district so please reach out to my office if you'd like some assistance in organizing or promoting. We can also assist with resources as well. Let's work together to build a more cohesive, safer community.
Sincerely,

CITY HALL PERMIT CENTER OPENS BY APPOINTMENT STARTING AUGUST 2 |
|
City Hall will reopen to the public on August 2, 2021 and the first floor Permit Center will reopen by appointment-only, following the practices outlined in the County Public Health Order. Currently, all visitors are strongly encouraged to wear a mask and unvaccinated visitors are required to wear a mask. City employees will wear masks and work behind plexiglass to provide further protection for the public and employees alike.
Before the pandemic, the throng of customers in the Permit Center and Cashier areas at City Hall was a common sight. But even then, we were working to provide paperless, convenient digital services for permits and financial transactions. Now, as City Hall reopens, we encourage the continued use of our expanded online and virtual services — for efficiency, to protect everyone’s health, and to support our Climate Smart San Jose goals for reducing pollution and emissions.
