- Study Session on the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026/27 Municipal Fee Schedule
- Status Report on 2026 Major Events Invoicing and Reimbursements
- Action on a Council Written Request (Council Policy 030) Submitted by Councilmember Kevin Park to place an Agenda Item at a Future Council Meeting to Discuss Downtown RFP/RFQ
If you are not watching the Ethics Commission on Facebook, you are missing out. This is full of fireworks. The reason it is not on TV, per the City Manager is that the City doesn’t have the bandwidth to do so. In the middle of Silicon Valley, they can put on Facebook, but not on the city TV channel. Kevin Park made some really good points about this committee and how it is run. And the City and how it is run.
wondering why Kevin Park is doing a 030 on downtown, instead of Suds Jain. After all, downtown is in his district. I would like to see him push for downtown, and am disappointed that he is not. I am also surprised that the Ethics Commission tonight at 6pm is not on the Santa Clara City Channel. Only available to see on Facebook. This is an important meeting.
