Tomorrow’s Santa Clara City Council meeting has several topics. .
Here’s the agendized items:
- Study Session on Citywide Plan to Reduce Homelessness and Its Impacts
- Proclamation of July 2025 as Parks and Recreation Month
- Action on an Award of Contract for the Northern Receiving Station Upgrades and Expansion Project Contract No. 2454 to Henkels and McCoy West, LLC and Related Budget Amendment
- Public Hearing: Action on a Resolution of Necessity to Acquire Certain Real Property Interests on 3205 Bassett Street, Santa Clara, California, from the Owner of Record for Purposes of Implementing the Silicon Valley Power 115kV Transmission Line Project
- Public Hearing: Consideration of Various Actions to Amend the City Place Santa Clara Project (PLN24-00060) Located at 5155 Stars and Stripes Drive to Provide for a New Scheme C Land Use Scenario to add Light Industrial as a Permitted Land Use on Parcels 1 and 2, Replacing the Originally Planned Office Uses and Transferring Unused Development Intensity to Parcel 4 and to Implement Other Project Changes
- Action on Proposed Formation of a Charter Review Committee to Conduct Comprehensive Review of the City Charter to Update, Make Corrections and Better Align the Charter with State Law and Current Best Practices and to Draft a Comprehensive Charter Amendment for Presentation to the City Council and Possibly the Voters at the November 2026 Election
Any time there’s a proposal for a charter review committee with the 49er 5 pushing the envelope, there’s trouble ahead and a waste of staff time and money. Save time. Just vote NO!
