The Santa Clara City Council Will Meet in Closed Session today, since tomorrow is Veterans’ Day and City Hall will be closed.
Here are the items:
- Conference with Legal Counsel — Anticipated Litigation — Exposure to litigation — Facts and circumstances not disclosed on agenda Pursuant to Gov. Code § 54956.9(e)(1) — Initiation of litigation — Number of potential cases: 2 potential cases (Continued from November 4, 2025)
- Conference with Labor Negotiators — City representatives: Jovan D. Grogan, Aracely Azevedo, Marco Mercado, Ashley Lancaster, Allyson Hauck, Vitus Leung, Charles Sakai and Glen R. Googins Employee Organization(s): Santa Clara Firefighters, International Assoc. of Firefighters, Local 1171 (Unit #1) International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1245 (Unit #3) Engineers of the City of Santa Clara (Unit #4) Unclassified Police Management (Unit #9A)
- Conference with Legal Counsel — Existing Litigation — City of Santa Clara v. Lingenfelter, et al., Santa Clara County Superior Court Case No. 25CV478634
Always an interesting start to any story, anywhere, at any time, when it begins with “Conference with Attorneys to discuss possible litigation or exposer to litigation.”
When do we as residents say “Enough”?
For sure none of us signed up for any of this.
