BACKGROUND
On April 9, 2024, the San José City Council approved the Children and Youth Services Master Plan (Master Plan), a strategic planning document that provides a citywide strategic roadmap for policy priorities, City and partner investments, and alignment of programs to create pathways and opportunities toward improved economic mobility for children, youth, and young adults. The Master Plan establishes objectives in a variety of strategic priority areas, including early learning and childcare, health and mental wellness, housing access, and learning and empowerment, among others. Sustained coordination with community and governmental partners, especially the County of Santa RULES AGENDA: 12/3/25

Clara, is a key implementation strategy of the Master Plan that runs throughout these priority areas.
At the same time, the County has been working on projects with overlapping goals related to public health. Earlier this year, the County released the Latino Health Assessment, which frames a snapshot and summary of the Latino community’s health outcomes and current utilization of County services within the context of social determinants of health and historical, political, and economic forces. The County Public Health Department has also made focused efforts on gun violence prevention.
ANALYSIS
As part of implementation of the Master Plan’s commitment to interagency partnership, City staff has coordinated with staff at the County of Santa Clara, along with the chairs of the City’s Neighborhood Services and Education Committee and the County’s Children, Seniors and Families Committee, to organize a joint special meeting between the two committees on December 10, 2025 for the purpose of supporting continued collaboration on the Master Plan. The City will present on the implementation of the Master Plan, including efforts related to child care, per direction received from the City Council under item 3.4 at the September 30, 2025 City Council Meeting, based on a recommendation from Councilmember Campos. The County will present on its own intersecting efforts, including the Latino Health Assessment and gun violence prevention efforts. The committees will then have an opportunity to discuss opportunities for collaboration on intersecting priorities, helping to facilitate continued partnership between the two agencies on these topics.
COORDINATION
This memorandum has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.
