The Office of the City Clerk invites all community members to the first Community Listening Session to share feedback on how the public accesses City Council agendas, notices, and information. This event is part of a broader outreach effort to improve communication, accessibility, and participation in local government.
The Listening Session will provide residents with an opportunity to share what works, what doesn’t, and how the City can better connect communities to the decision-making process. Participants will also learn more about the role of the City Clerk and how to engage with City Council meetings through tools such as online agendas, public comment forms, and virtual participation via Zoom.
“We can have the best technology, the most efficient procedures, and all the right resources, but if people don’t know how to access them or understand how to use them, they simply won’t serve their purpose,” said City Clerk Fuentes. “This Listening Session is about meeting community members where they’re at, hearing directly from people about what’s working and what isn’t. The more we listen and learn, the better we can improve how we connect our communities to the decisions that shape San Diego.”
The session will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2025, from 5:00 to 5:45 p.m. at the Logan Heights Library, 567 South 28th Street, San Diego, CA 92113.
Attendees are also encouraged to complete the Public Engagement Survey to share their experiences and ideas for improving public access.
