In April and May, the City of San José will be holding Neighborhood Meetings in all ten City Council districts and at City Hall to discuss the subject of medical marijuana in San José and the citizens’ initiative on the local ballot in June. If passed, the local initiative (Measure C) would replace the City’s current medical marijuana program.

During the month of May, the City of San José will host 10 Community Budget Meetings in every City Council district. These meetings offer residents the opportunity to learn about the City's current fiscal outlook and share their top budget priorities directly with City leaders.
