partnerships as well as prevention, enforcement, and emergency preparedness services.
• 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.
• Neighborhood Services - Serve, foster, and strengthen community by providing access to lifelong
learning and opportunities to enjoy life.
• 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.

CITY OF SAN JOSE CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PUBLIC MEETINGS IN
THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND COMMITTEE ROOMS
The Code of Conduct is intended to promote open meetings that welcome debate of public policy issues being
discussed by the City Council, their Committees, and City Boards and Commissions in an atmosphere of
fairness, courtesy, and respect for differing points of view.
1. Public Meeting Decorum:
a) Persons in the audience will refrain from behavior which will disrupt the public meeting.
This will include making loud noises, clapping, shouting, booing, hissing or engaging in
any other activity in a manner that disturbs, disrupts or impedes the orderly conduct of the
meeting.
b) Persons in the audience will refrain from creating, provoking or participating in any type
of disturbance involving unwelcome physical contact.
c) Persons in the audience will refrain from using cellular phones and/or pagers while the
meeting is in session.

Committee Rooms at all times.
e) Persons in the audience will not place their feet on the seats in front of them.
f) No food, drink (other than bottled water with a cap), or chewing gum will be allowed in the
Council Chambers and Committee Rooms, except as otherwise pre-approved by City staff.

3. Addressing the Council, Committee, Board or Commission:
a) Persons wishing to speak on an agenda item or during open forum are requested to
complete a speaker card and submit the card to the City Clerk or other administrative staff

speaker or for an agenda item is in the discretion of the Chair of the meeting
and may be limited when appropriate. (California Government Code Section 54954.3; Council Policy

related to City business when called to speak during open forum on the agenda.

meeting may result in removal from the meeting and/or possible arrest.
