2) Place the item on the April 21, 2026 City Council Agenda for action.

Meeting Dates: April 22-April 25, 2026
Source of Funds: Costs associated with registration, accommodation, and most meals will be paid for by League of California Cities, a voluntary, nonprofit association. Any remaining costs, such as ground transportation, accommodation/meals not covered by League of California Cities or Wi-Fi will be paid by the District 8 Office Budget.
Purpose: The Cal Cities City Leaders Summit is an annual convening of local elected officials and city leaders from across California focused on advocacy, leadership development, and peer exchange on issues affecting cities statewide. The 2026 Summit will be held in Sacramento from April 22–24 and will include educational sessions, networking opportunities, and direct engagement with lawmakers on Cal Cities’ member-driven advocacy priorities. This year’s program also includes a gubernatorial candidate forum and sessions on topics such as homelessness, misinformation, child care, economic development, immigration policy, the state budget, and emerging artificial intelligence applications in local government.
Councilmember Domingo Candelas’ attendance will support his role as the City's appointed representative on the Cal Cities Board. His participation will support San José’s ongoing legislative, policy, and intergovernmental work by providing opportunities to engage with municipal leaders, strengthen partnerships, and exchange best practices on issues directly relevant to San José residents.
Participation in the Summit and related Board meeting is consistent with the Councilmember’s role in representing the City’s interests in statewide municipal policy discussions and advancing local priorities through collaboration with Cal Cities and other local government leaders.
