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.

SF.gov is the official website of the City and County of San Francisco, and it groups city services into a handful of broad categories: jobs, marriage and partnerships, visiting City Hall, permitting, business, housing, and government information. You can use it to find a service, look up an elected official, or locate a meeting or event. The site is organized around these categories rather than a single search box, so knowing which category fits your task is the fastest way to get where you need to go.

Services listed on the homepage

The homepage presents services in two main ways: a short set of quick links and a set of topic cards.

Quick links

• Search for jobs
• Marriage and partnerships
• Visit City Hall
• Information for City staff
• Find a meeting or event

Topic cards

Finding the right service for your situation

• Looking for work or city employment: use the "Search for jobs" link.
• Planning a wedding or registering a partnership: start with "Marriage and partnerships."
• Planning a visit or needing in-person help: check "Visit City Hall."
• Doing construction, renovation, or neighborhood work: go to the Permitting category.
• Opening, running, or closing a business: go to the Business category.
• Looking for a place to live or dealing with a landlord/tenant issue: go to the Housing category, which includes affordable rentals, City homebuying help, and Rent Board resources.
• Wanting to vote, volunteer, request public records, or contact officials: go to the Government category.

Elected officials and government contacts

If your task is to reach a specific office rather than a service, SF.gov lists current elected officials:

• Mayor: Daniel Lurie, the 46th Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco
• Board of Supervisors: meets regularly to establish policy and adopt legislation; the page lists the Board President and supervisors by district (Districts 1–11)
• Elected officers: Public Defender, District Attorney, Sheriff, Treasurer, Assessor-Recorder, and City Attorney

This section is useful when you need to know who represents a district or which office handles a function before you submit a request or comment.

How to use the site effectively

1. Decide whether your task is a service (permit, housing, business) or a contact (an official or department).
2. If it's a service, pick the matching topic card above and follow it to the specific page.
3. If it's a contact, use the elected officials list to identify the right office or district.
4. For time-sensitive items, check "Find a meeting or event" — the homepage also surfaces citywide events, such as San Francisco Fleet Week events happening Oct 4 to 12.

A common snag: the homepage shows category names, not every individual service, so a specific task like "apply for a permit" or "find Rent Board help" requires one more click into the relevant category. If you already know the department name, going straight to that category is faster than browsing the homepage.

San Francisco's elected leadership includes the Mayor, the Board of Supervisors (one per district plus a Board President), and a set of citywide elected officers. SF.gov lists them by name and office, and points residents to ways to contact them. Below is the roster as published on SF.gov, organized by role.

Mayor

Daniel Lurie is the 46th Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco.

Board of Supervisors

The Board meets regularly to establish policy and adopt legislation to meet constituents' needs. Its President is Rafael Mandelman, who also represents District 8.

Elected Officers

These officials are elected citywide rather than by district:

How to Contact Elected Officials

SF.gov groups contact information under its Government section, which covers voting, volunteering, public records, and reaching elected officials. If you need to contact a specific officeholder, start from that Government section on SF.gov and follow the link for the relevant office or district.

What Else You'll Find on SF.gov

Beyond elected officials, SF.gov organizes city information into service categories, including:

• Services — search for jobs, marriage and partnerships, visiting City Hall, information for City staff, and finding a meeting or event

• Business — starting, owning, and closing a business
• Housing — renting affordable housing, buying a home with City help, and Rent Board resources for tenants and landlords
• Government — voting, volunteering, public records, and contacting elected officials

Names and officeholders change with elections, so verify current listings on SF.gov before relying on this roster for anything official.
