How to Find Meetings and Events on SF.gov

SF.gov surfaces meetings and events through a "Find a meeting or event" link in its Services section, and it also promotes major citywide events on the homepage — for example, "San Francisco Fleet Week events happening Oct 4 to 12." If you want to attend a public meeting, a City Hall visit, or a seasonal event, start from the Services area rather than trying to guess a department page.

Where the entry points are

The homepage lists these under Services:

• Find a meeting or event — the general starting point for meeting and event listings.
• Visit City Hall — visitor information for the building where the Board of Supervisors and other officials meet.
• Information for City staff — internal-facing resources, useful if you're an employee rather than a member of the public.

The homepage also carries a featured event banner. At the time of the source material, that banner read "San Francisco Fleet Week events happening Oct 4 to 12," with a "Find out more" link. Featured banners rotate, so treat any specific event name as an example of the pattern, not a permanent fixture.

How to use it

1. Open SF.gov.
2. Go to the Services section.
3. Select Find a meeting or event.
4. From the results, identify the body or topic you care about — for example, a Board of Supervisors meeting, a permit hearing, or a citywide event.
5. If the meeting is at City Hall, check Visit City Hall for location and visitor context before you go.

Expected result: you land on a listing or detail page for the specific meeting or event, rather than a general department homepage.

Who the meetings belong to

If you're looking for a legislative meeting specifically, the relevant body is the Board of Supervisors, which "meets regularly to establish policy and adopt legislation to meet constituents' needs." Its current president, per the site, is Rafael Mandelman (District 8). Supervisors are listed by district:

Knowing your district helps you filter which meetings and notices are relevant to you.

Other elected officials

Beyond the Board, SF.gov lists these elected officers:

• Mayor — Daniel Lurie, the 46th Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco
• Public Defender — Manohar Raju
• District Attorney — Brooke Jenkins
• Sheriff — Paul Miyamoto
• Treasurer — José Cisneros
• Assessor-Recorder — Joaquín Torres
• City Attorney — David Chiu

Common snags

• The featured banner changes. A Fleet Week promotion is a snapshot, not a standing page. Use "Find a meeting or event" for anything ongoing.
• "Information for City staff" is not for the public. If you're a resident looking for a meeting, that link won't help.
• Meeting vs. event. A public hearing and a city festival may sit behind the same entry point, so check the listing type before assuming you can comment or testify.
• City Hall visits need planning. Use "Visit City Hall" for visitor details rather than assuming the meeting location is obvious.
