1 CUPERTINO CITY COUNCIL
AD-HOC LEGISLATIVE REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE
OCTOBER 28, 2025
ZOOM MEETING REPORT
Members Present: Vice Mayor Moore, Councilmember Wang
Staff Present: Sr. Management Analyst Astrid Robles
Lobbyists Present: Jason Gonsalves and Paul Gonsalves of Gonsalves & Sons The Cupertino City Council Ad hoc Legislative Review Subcommittee met on Zoom October 28, 2025 for the end of session Wrap-up meeting.
The Subcommittee received a legislative wrap-up by our lobbyist which is provided in the attachments. The update included discussion of Prop 50 and Measure A. It was suggested that we look to having quarterly check-ins with Senator Becker and Assemblymember Ahrens in the future. Concern about the unfunded mandates coming from the Housing Laws was expressed and interest into whether HCD was looking at punishing cities at this point but it appears that at this time revoking certification is not being their current direction.
From the Agenda for the meeting: “The LRC helps Cupertino build a fiscally sustainable and resilient community, and furthers the health and wellbeing of Cupertino community members and enhances public engagement and transparency.
2025 Legislative Priorities
The legislative priorities are guided by the Council adopted goals of Public Engagement and Transparency, Transportation, Housing, Sustainability, Fiscal Strategy, and Quality of Life.” The Subcommittee discussed how the LRC could function in the future and whether to codify it or continue it by Resolution as had been done in prior years. Ultimately it was preferred to adopt the Legislative Platform and the formation of the Subcommittee by Resolution of the City Council Report prepared by:
Vice Mayor Moore
