The City of San José is committed to open and honest government and strives to consistently meet the
community’s expectations by providing excellent service, in a positive and timely manner, and in the
full view of the public.
Welcome to the San José City Council meeting!
This Agenda contains both a Consent Calendar section for routine business items that require Council
approval, and general business items arranged to correspond with San José’s City Service Areas (CSAs).
City Service Areas represent the policy-making level for strategic planning, policy setting, and investment
decisions in the critical functions the City provides to the community. They are:
• Strategic Support - The internal functions that enable the CSAs to provide direct
services to the community in an effective and efficient manner.
• Community & Economic Development - Manage the growth and change of the community in
order to create and preserve healthy neighborhoods and ensure a diverse range of employment and
housing opportunities.
• Neighborhood Services - Serve, foster, and strengthen community by providing access to lifelong
learning and opportunities to enjoy life.
•Transportation & Aviation Services - A safe and efficient transportation system that contributes to
the livability and economic health of the City; and provide for the air transportation needs of the
community and the region at levels that is acceptable to the community.
• Environmental and Utility Services - Manage environmental services and utility systems to ensure
a sustainable environment for the community.
• Public Safety - Commitment to excellence in public safety by investing in neighborhood
partnerships as well as prevention, enforcement, and emergency preparedness services.
You may speak to the City Council about any discussion item that is on the agenda, and you may also speak
during Open Forum on items that are not on the agenda and are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the
City Council or Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Board. If you wish to speak to the City
Council, please refer to the following guidelines:
o Fill out a Yellow Speaker’s Card and submit it to the City Clerk seated at the front table. Do
this before the meeting or before the item is heard. This will ensure that your name is called for
the item(s) that you wish to address, and it will help ensure the meeting runs smoothly for all
participants.
o When the Council reaches your item on the agenda, the Mayor will open the public hearing and call
your name. Please address the Council from the podium, which is located to the left of the City
Clerk’s table.
o Each speaker generally has two minutes to speak per item. The amount of time allotted to
speakers may vary at the Mayor’s discretion, depending on the number of speakers or the length
of the agenda.
o To assist you in tracking your speaking time, there is a display on the podium. The green light
turns on when you begin speaking; the yellow light turns on when you have 30 seconds left; and
the red light turns on when your speaking time is up.
Please be advised that, by law, the City Council is unable to discuss or take action on issues presented during
Open Forum. According to State Law (the Brown Act) items must first be noticed on the agenda before any
discussion or action.
The San José City Council meets every Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday at 6 p.m. as needed,
unless otherwise noted. The City Council, or less than a quorum, may adjourn any regular, special
or adjourned meeting to a later date, time and place specified in the order of adjournment. If all
