Monterey Park Mayor Pro Tem Sanchez Hosts Open Farmers Market Conversation November 12

MONTEREY PARK — November 8, 2026. Mayor Pro Tem and District 3 Council Member Jose Sanchez is scheduled to meet residents at the Barnes Park Farmers Market, 350 South McPherrin Avenue, on Thursday, November 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.

What can residents discuss?

The city’s “Council in the Community” series encourages informal conversations with elected representatives. The November 12 announcement invites people to ask questions, share ideas or simply introduce themselves. It describes the session as free and open to all residents, with no formal agenda.

Does meeting a council member mean a city decision has been made?

No. A conversation at a farmers market does not itself pass a new ordinance, amend a budget, authorize development or satisfy formal public-hearing requirements. For those actions, residents should separately review the City Council’s noticed agenda, supporting documents and public comment opportunities.

Why specify the location?

The meetup is advertised at the farmers market booth at Barnes Park, rather than the city’s regular council chambers or library. The official page lists the location as 350 South McPherrin Avenue. Market hours and vendor attendance are separate from the 5–7 p.m. council member meetup.

How to verify

Consult the official Monterey Park November 12 listing, or call 626-307-1465 to ask about schedule changes or access needs.
