What's On Your Mind Mill Valley?

Join us for a Community Chat

Throughout the year, the Mill Valley City Council and City Manager Todd Cusimano invite you to join them in a “Community Chat” either in-person or remotely. This is a series of informal meetings intended to give you the opportunity to discuss current issues, ask questions, make suggestions, and share what is on your mind. 

There are no time limits and no structure - just join us and have a chat! All are welcome.

The next Community Chat will take place:
