Tonight’s Santa Clara City Council meeting has a lot on the agenda. It will be the public’s first chance to hear details of the latest 49ers settlement.
It’s one that Mayor Lisa Gillmor called a “loan shark type deal.”
Here are the agenda items:
- Recognition of Santa Clara High School Student Athletes
- Recognition of Wilcox High School Robotics Team
- Recognition of the Recipients of the Second Annual Silicon Valley Power Sustainable Futures Scholarship Program in Partnership with Santa Clara University
- Proclamation of May 2024 as Historic Preservation Month
- Proclamation of May as Affordable Housing Month and Recognition of the Freebird Development Company for the successful Completion of the Monroe Commons Affordable Housing Development
- Public Hearing: Action on Resolutions Approving Water, Sewer and Recycled Water Amended Rates to be Effective July 1, 2024
- Action on Amendment No. 2 to the Ground Lease, and Amendment No. 1 to the Restated and Amended Stadium Lease, to Implement the Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (Buffet and Public Safety Cost Arbitration) with Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC and Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC, and Approve Related Budget Amendments
- Action on an Initial Grant Funding Agreement with Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC to Provide $200,000 Annually in Grant Funding for an Initial Three Years to the Santa Clara Community and Santa Clara Organizations and Approve the Related Budget Amendments

Demand a delay in approval unless the deal is fully explained and the public has a meaningful opportunity for input.
