Reporting Councilmember: Councilmember Sheila Mohan
Report Dates: 4/29/25 to 5/12/25
Item Date, Title, and Description:
5/3/25: Attended the annual volunteer appreciation hosted by InAtalent, a non-profit organization based in Cupertino. InAtalent is dedicated to enriching communities by harnessing the passion and talents of volunteers, both children and adults. This was the third year that I attended their annual celebration and I continue to be awed by the quiet accomplishments of their volunteer members.
5/7/25: I attended the virtual Santa Clara County Budget Workshop hosted by County Supervisor Margaret Abe Koga. Information was provided on county's revenue and expenditure estimates, the County's budget priorities for the next fiscal year, and the uncertainty about the $4 billion federal funding that the County receives each year. 5/9/25: City Finance staff led a prep session on the proposed FY 25-26 City Budget. While the fears about the CDTFA tax issue have abated, the need to be cautious remains a priority. Staff is proposing some staffing increases to keep up with the demand for increasing services.
5/12/25: A special meeting of the Audit Committee was held to receive the Treasurer's Investment Report for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. The report included balances and transactions of the City's investment portfolio with Chandler Asset Management as well as with the Local Agency Investment Fund.
Also included was the status of the City's Section 115 trust funds. 5/12/25: I attended the town hall meeting hosted by US Congressman Ro Khanna to celebrate the Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander 1 City Council Councilmember Report
Heritage Month (AANHPI). The event was held at De Anza College and was well attended by elected officials of neighboring cities and community leaders. The Congressman responded to questions from the public about hate crimes, the power of youth, and the need to continue to be 'engaged and enraged". 2
