Mayor Mark Farrell today invited San Francisco residents to participate in twice-monthly “Open Door Chats” to converse with the Mayor on the issues that are most important to them.

“I believe the Mayor’s Office should be transparent, open and accessible to all San Francisco residents”, said Mayor Farrell. “During my time as Mayor I want to get to the heart of the issues and I want my work to be guided by what is impacting the lives of our residents on a day-to-day basis”.

“Open Door Chats” will start this Friday and continue on the first and third Fridays of every month from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Residents will be able to go to City Hall and sit down with the Mayor for a 10 minute appointment. Each meeting will be chosen through a lottery process and will be scheduled based on the constituent’s time preferences.
