Palo Alto community members can stop by the farmers market this weekend to talk about local issues with Santa Clara County Supervisor Joe Simitian in his annual “sidewalk office hours.”

Simitian, who will be at the Palo Alto Downtown Farmers’ Market on Saturday, July 15, to talk to the community, said that his office hours allow him to stay in touch with residents in District 5.

“Office hours are a wonderful way for me to meet with constituents, to learn more about what’s on their mind,” he said. “I think folks value (the) opportunity to connect with their elected officials.”

No appointment is needed.
