REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Discussion on the Allocation of Additional Funds in the General Fund Estimated for FY 2025/26, including Convention Center Capital Projects

BACKGROUND
As reported in the Monthly Financial Reports during FY 2025/26, General Fund revenues are tracking above the budgeted levels and expenditures are expected to end the year below budget. A portion of this higher revenue and expenditure savings ($17.0 million) was assumed and programmed in the FY 2026/27 Adopted Budget. This included $13.9 million in the Proposed Budget that allowed additional investments, such as the transfer to the new Infrastructure Replacement Capital fund and funding for the Pension Trust contribution. As part of the FY 2026/27 budget adoption, an additional $3.1 million in fund balance was assumed, primarily from the carryover of unspent funds from FY 2025/26 to FY 2026/27.

Additional fund balance above the $17.0 million already programmed is expected by year-end. The April Monthly Financial Report (RTC 26-511) includes budget actions to set aside an additional $20.0 million generated from higher estimated revenues into a Reserve for Future Uses. Staff is requesting City Council feedback on the use of these funds.

At the public hearing on the adoption of the FY 2026/27 and FY 2027/28 Biennial Capital Budget on June 9, 2026, there was discussion and public feedback about the Senior Center membership fees and operations at the Senior Center. This report provides initial information to address the comments.

DISCUSSION
Potential Allocation of Additional Fund Balance
There is $20 million available for potential allocation by the City Council. These additional funds are considered one-time in nature as the higher FY 2025/26 collection levels have been factored into the FY 2026/27 revenue estimates.

Following are recommended expenditure categories for consideration:
· Transfer to the Infrastructure Replacement Capital Fund: Increase the transfer by $7.0 million (from $10.4 million to $17.4 million). This would bring the Infrastructure Replacement Capital Fund reserve to 5% of General Fund expenditures in FY 2026/27. · Transfer to the Convention Center Capital Fund: Establish a transfer of $7.6 million to the City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/19/2026Page 1 of 5
powered by Legistar™
26-663 Agenda Date: 6/23/2026
Convention Center Capital Fund to fund priority projects in FY 2026/27. Capital needs of $13.8 million have been identified for the Convention Center over the next five years as described in Attachment 1. Given the significant capital needs for this facility, funding from the General Fund is recommended. Staff will also continue to work with OVG360 (Oak View Group), the Convention Center operator, to determine if there is any additional funding available from annual net income to support capital projects.

The potential allocation of $7.6 million would cover the FY 2026/27 capital needs as follows:
o Outdoor Marquee Project ($2.23 million)
o Security System Addition of Security Cameras and Access Control Measures ($1.4 million)
o Replacement of Electrical Switch Gear ($1.11 million) o Fire Safety Updates ($655,000)
o Boiler Replacement ($500,000)
o Interior Paint Project - Main Lobby, Glass Pyramids, Great America and Mission Halls ($500,000)
o Exterior Paint Project Docks and Back Area ($450,000) o Convention Center Maintenance Equipment Purchases ($354,865) o Replacement of Exterior Tile Pavers - Second Floor Terrace ($200,000) o Freight Elevator Hydraulic Pump and Power Unit Replacement ($127,687) o LED Video Wall Installation - Main Lobby ($50,000)
o Convention Center Electrical Floor Box Assessment ($17,000) · Increase the Capital Projects Reserve: Increase the Capital Projects Reserve by $5.4 million (from $12.5 million to $17.9 million). These funds would be available to address capital project needs throughout the City.

The additional funding is recommended to be allocated to address capital infrastructure needs given the significant backlog in this area. This use also adheres to the budget principle to allocate one-time funding sources to one-time uses. The City Council may determine other potential uses for the $20.0 million.

Senior Center Membership Fees and Operations
At that June 9th budget adoption Council meeting, staff presented information on Senior Center membership fees in response to questions from the May 19, 2026 budget study session. Senior Center operations are subsidized by the General Fund. In FY 2025/26, Senior Center revenue is projected at $356,000, including membership fees as well as senior recreation activities and classes.

In comparison, the FY 2025/26 General Fund budget to operate the Senior Center and its programs totals $1.87 million, resulting in a budgeted cost recovery rate of approximately 19%.

Membership fees are broken down into basic fees ($12 per year) and premium fees ($37 per year).

Non-residents can sign up for the basic membership which is assessed at the same rate as the premium resident rate. Non-residents are offered the basic membership to ensure that residents have maximum access to the additional premium programming, such as the drop-in fitness center and natatorium. There are currently 90 residents with the basic membership, 2,437 residents with the City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/19/2026Page 2 of 5

26-663 Agenda Date: 6/23/2026
premium membership, and 19 non-residents. The resident premium memberships generate 98% of the annual membership revenue, which is estimated at approximately $92,000 based on the current enrollment.

Staff also presented the following benchmarking information. As shown below, approximately half of the cities charge an annual membership fee, and the premium resident rate for Santa Clara is mid- range of the resident rates charged by other cities.

There was also discussion about the Senior Center operations, including the hours available for the pool. Currently, the Senior Center pool is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday and Wednesday from 4 p.m. - 6:30 p.m., and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., for a total of 28 hours per week. Prior to the pandemic, the pool was open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 3 p.m. - 6:30 pm, Friday from 7 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. for a total of 50.5 hours per week.

City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/19/2026Page 3 of 5
powered by Legistar™
26-663 Agenda Date: 6/23/2026
The hours are currently below pre-pandemic levels due to regional and local aquatic staffing challenges. There has also been a nationwide lifeguard shortage in recent years with approximately one-third of the country’s public swimming pools affected by reduced hours or closures. Prior to the pandemic, the aquatics program employed 30 as-needed lifeguards year-round and 60 as-needed lifeguards during the summer season. Currently, the Parks and Recreation Department is operating with approximately 12-15 as-needed lifeguards year-round and 45 lifeguards during the peak season.

Staff will continue to work to recruit and retain lifeguards, including working with the Human Resources Department to review lifeguard wages. Other staffing models may also be considered, including the addition of full-time lifeguard staff.

Staff is also working on the Senior Center Natatorium HVAC project, and an agreement for the HVAC rehabilitation is expected to be brought forward for City Council approval on July 14, 2026. In the future, the Public Facilities and Infrastructure Bond Measure (Measure I) will provide funding of $9.5 million for the Senior Center Expansion/ Rehabilitation project that will be budgeted in a future bond funding phase/tranche.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions being considered do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations in that they are fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant physical impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The April Monthly Financial Report allocates $20.0 million of additional General Fund revenue to a Reserve for Future Uses. These funds are available for allocation by the City Council.

The final reconciliation for FY 2025/26 will be brought forward for City Council consideration as part of the FY 2025/26 Budgetary Year-End Report planned for December 2026. It is anticipated that a modest amount of additional fund balance will be available for allocation at that time.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

RECOMMENDATION

FY 2026/27 Replacement of
Electrical Switch
Gear
This project will fund the assessment and required repairs to the power distribution unit adjacent to Dock 4 at the rear of the Center. This unit, roughly the size of a tractor trailer, houses both the facility's circuit breaker and switchgear. Following a complete power outage in the winter of 2022, it was determined that condensation inside the unit was the root cause. The condensation resulted from holes in the unit's roof and was exacerbated by the inoperative heating system, originally designed for dehumidifying the closets.

While the heating system has been repaired and is fully operational, the hardware components within the closets are exhibiting severe rust and erosion. This deterioration poses a potential issue if heavy rainfall were to occur and the heating system failed again. In the interim, a tarp has been placed atop the unit to mitigate water and condensation ingress. To avert future power outages and system disruptions, it is recommended that the entire roof of the unit be resealed or replaced, and the corroded materials within the unit be repaired or replaced.
1,111,935$
FY 2026/27 Boiler
Replacement
This project will fund the replacement of one if two aging boilers at the Center; replacement of the second boiler is recommended for FY 2030/31. The boilers serve as the primary heat distribution mechanism throughout the facility. The existing boiler system is outdated, nearing the end of its operational life, and encountering increasing challenges in sourcing replacement parts.

The age of the equipment also hampers its ability to effectively regulate temperatures during events, potentially affecting the comfort of attendees. While the current system is antiquated and parts are becoming scarce, some operational upgrades were initiated in FY 2021/22. In May 2022, the boiler faced issues with heat regulation, with a technician discovering a malfunction in the Building Management System (BMS) that made heat control difficult. A temporary bypass solution was employed, followed by an eventual update and repair of the system. Additionally, the Safeguard 550 low-water controller was replaced during this time. 500,000$

The Convention Center is in need of enhancements to the security program throughout the facility. The current system is outdated and limited to expiring hardware and equipment.

In addition, depending on the finalized security camera and access control design, this project will help keep staffing levels to a bare minimum without jeopardizing safety and security. Moving to a keyless entry system at the Center will result in the prevention of unauthorized access, ability to track access for each door in the Center, and flexibility and control over providing access to personnel. By investing in this comprehensive keyless entry solution, the Santa Clara Convention Center will not only enhance security but also realize workflow efficiencies. Furthermore, the system's data capabilities will provide insights that can inform better operations, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

FY 2027/28 HVAC (BMS)
Upgrade Software
(Including
Lighting)
This project will fund the procurement of a new Building Management System (BMS). The BMS serves as the central control system for managing critical facility subsystems, including HVAC, chilled water systems, and central heating systems. The current BMS is the original system and has experienced ongoing intermittent failures leading to disruptions in conditioned air supply. In an effort to mitigate these issues, a temporary "stop gap" system was implemented in FY 2019/20, providing limited stability. However, the aging BMS is nearing the end of its functional life, with extensive work required to potentially connect 39 units (air handlers, chillers, cooling tower, boilers) to the outdated system.

Funding will be used for engineering assessments and anticipated licensing expenses. This includes an assessment and selection of BMS system, addressing connections to all 39 units. 3,292,380$

Center Lighting
Control System
This project will fund the upgrade and replacement of the lighting control system at the Center. The existing manual system presents challenges associated with human error, often resulting in lights being inadvertently left on, which subsequently escalates utility costs for the facility. The proposed new system incorporates scheduling software that can manage and monitor lighting requirements, optimizing energy usage and minimizing unnecessary expenses.

Furthermore, the current lighting system within the Exhibit Halls lacks individual flexibility, hindering the customization of lighting to accommodate the unique needs of certain clients. Presently, the system only offers the option to dim or turn off entire rows of lighting. The incorporation of the enhanced lighting control system not only ensures greater operational efficiency but also provides clients with a superior experience by allowing precise scheduling and configuration of lighting to align with specific event requirements. This project represents a step toward modernizing the facility, conserving energy, and enhancing the overall client experience at the Center.

Center HVAC
Duct Work and
Water Pumps
This project will fund needed repairs/replacement of HVAC duct work and related water pump replacement to be done in two phases. Both the duct work and water pumps are part of the overall HVAC system. The duct work is what carries the chilled or heated air throughout the facility, which would be Phase I. The water pumps are used to push the water through the chiller or boiler for heating, which would be Phase II.

It has been multiple years since the duct work over the Great America wing has been assessed. The duct work system is a critical component of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) infrastructure, responsible for maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring occupant comfort. A well-maintained system helps in maintaining optimal indoor air quality by minimizing the buildup of dust, allergens, and contaminants, which can have a direct impact on the health and well-being of visitors, staff, and event attendees. Leaky or inefficient duct work can lead to substantial energy losses. OVG 360 recommends hiring a third party to review the duct work and make recommendations for replacement or repairs. Regular assessments help identify and rectify issues such as air leakage, blockages, or poor insulation, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the HVAC system. This, in turn, reduces operational costs and minimizes the carbon footprint of the convention center. This project includes funding for the report and associated staff time. 107,201$
FY 2027/28 Convention
Center Plumbing
Upgrades
This project will fund the replacement and installation of point-of-use water heaters in the Center kitchen and restroom areas. The life expectancy of point-of-use (POU) water heaters is typically between 8-12 years.

The current water tanks are original to the facility. There are 24 units throughout the property and four units have been replaced over the past several years. This project aims to enhance several critical aspects of the Convention Center's operations, including improved sanitation and reduced germ spread. Additionally, it will likely lead to cost savings by reducing the potential need for frequent replacements. The replacement units are also expected to contribute to more efficient water conservation and energy usage, promoting sustainability and prolonged equipment life.

Notably, the project will require larger power sources for the newly replaced units, necessitating the expertise of a third-party electrician to assist with power distribution. 26,507$

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Staff Update and Solicitation of Council Input or Direction on a City Council Request (Council Policy 030) to Revise Chapter 17.15 of the City Code (Property Developments) related to Required Street Improvements

BACKGROUND
At the November 18, 2025 City Council meeting, Councilmember Chahal submitted a Council Policy 030 request to consider possible revisions Title 17, Chapter 17.15, Table III of the City Code related to requirements for public improvements. City Council approved a motion to agendize this 030 request for discussion at a future meeting. The purpose of this report is to provide information on Chapter 17.15 and its application in relation to City requirements for street improvements (such as sidewalk upgrades), in connection with planning entitlement and building permit applications (i.e. residential additions).

City Code Title 17, Chapter 17.15, Table III
: Title 17 of the City Code is entitled “Development” and includes Chapter 17.15, entitled “Property Development,” which defines certain policies, requirements, and procedures for the development of property in the City. Included within Chapter

17.15 is Section 17.15.110, entitled “On-site dedications, easements, and rights-of-way” as shown below and also included as Attachment 1.
§ 17.15.110 On-site dedications, easements, and rights-of-way. <https://ecode360.com/47553397>
(a) <https://ecode360.com/47553397> The developer shall grant to the City, without cost, all easements and/or rights-of-way (excluding easements and rights-of-way for street purposes that are provided for in subsection (b) <https://ecode360.com/47553486> of this section) necessary (1) for serving the property of the developer and (2) for the installation of utilities, flood-control improvements, and public service facilities. (b) <https://ecode360.com/47553397> The developer shall also grant to the City, without cost, all easements and/or rights-of-way for street purposes necessary for serving the property of the developer and to install required street improvements in accordance with actions listed in Table III.
(c) <https://ecode360.com/47553397> Off-set credits shall be allowed the developer for existing street improvements previously paid to the City in accordance with the provisions of SCCC §

17.15.100 <https://ecode360.com/47553483> and § 17.15.260 <https://ecode360.com/47553550>.

City Code 17.15.110(b) requires that a developer grant to the City, without costs, easements and/or rights-of-way for street purposes necessary for serving the property and install required street

improvements in accordance with Table III (Attachment 2).

Table III of Chapter 17.15 requires that dedication and street improvements are required in connection with:
· Final Maps, Parcel Maps, and Zoning
· Residential: Any single private improvement or any series of private improvements made within a three-year period involving 800 or more square feet of any new construction, addition, or reconstruction.
· Non-Residential: Any single private improvement or any series of private improvements made within a three-year period valued at $200,000 or more.

DISCUSSION
City Code Section 17.15.110 provides the legal framework by which the City can require street improvements and dedications as development occurs. There are two typical processes where staff review projects to determine if street improvements and dedications are required.

1. Planning Entitlement and Building Permits
: During this process, applicants submit a planning
application for a proposed land use project to the Planning Division in the Community Development Department (CDD). CDD coordinates with various City departments to review the proposal, and the City sets project level conditions of approval. There are often conditions of approval requiring adjacent street improvements. During the building permit stage of the project, staff follow up on the project’s conditions of approval to ensure that required street improvements are permitted and constructed.

2. Building Permit Only
: In this situation, a planning application/permit is not required, and applicants submit directly to the City’s Building Division in CDD. CDD coordinates with various City departments who review the building application and set requirements based on review of the project and relevant City Codes.

Staff understands that the 030 request is related to street improvement requirements for residential building additions. Based on this, the remainder of the report will focus on the process and requirements for these specific types of projects. Below are the typical steps involved when the City receives and reviews a residential building permit application.

Process for Reviewing Residential Additional Building Permit Applications related to City Code Section 17.15.110:

1. Building Application Submitted
Receive a residential building permit application.

2. Threshold Review (Table III)
Staff reviews the project against Table III to determine if frontage improvements are triggered.

For residential projects, Table III allows the City to require street improvements for projects where there is any single private improvement or any series of private improvements made within a three-year period involving 800 or more square feet of any new construction, addition, City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/19/2026Page 2 of 5
powered by Legistar™
26-292 Agenda Date: 6/23/2026
or reconstruction.

3. Determine Required Improvements
If the project meets the threshold, staff reviews the existing conditions along the project’s street frontage and identifies required street improvements, with an emphasis on bringing the public street frontage into compliance with the current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

Typical frontage improvements can include:
· Driveway Approach
: Upgrade existing driveway approach (which includes a sidewalk) to meet current City standards
· Sidewalk: Construct or replace uplifted or damaged sidewalk to meet current City standards
· Curb Ramps: Upgrade curb ramps to meet current City standards for corner properties Examples of these types of street frontage improvements are included in Attachment 3.

4. Condition of Approval (Issuance)
ADA related street frontage improvements are added as a condition of the building permit prior to permit issuance.

5. Applicant Notification/Conditional Release Letter
Applicant is notified of the requirement. Prior to issuance of the building permit, the property owner is required to sign a conditional release letter acknowledging the obligation to complete the street frontage improvements.

6. Condition of Approval (Final)
A condition is placed on the building permit final requiring completion of the street frontage improvements.

7. Encroachment Permit (EP) Process
Applicant obtains an encroachment permit to construct the street frontage improvements.

Plans are reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Works prior to construction.

8. Completion and Final Clearance
Once construction is completed and inspected, staff clears the encroachment permit and removes the frontage improvement condition in Accela, allowing the building permit to receive final.

Residential Building Permit Projects with Required ADA Improvements Table 1 below includes the number of residential building permit projects that required ADA related improvements per City Code Section 17.15.110, Table III.

The majority of the required improvements involve upgrading existing driveway approaches/sidewalk to City standards. Cost information provided by project applicants indicates that the value of these improvements ranges between $5,000 to $19,000 per improvement. The value of each improvement is highly dependent on the extent of concrete work required and cost information applicants receive from their contractors.

Amending Chapter 17.15 of the City Code
If the City Council wishes to amend Chapter 17.15 of the City Code, staff recommend that the Council discuss the proposed revisions and provide direction regarding the desired changes.

Chapter 17.15 of the City Code may be amended to modify or eliminate existing requirements, and the Council may direct that such amendments apply retroactively where the effect is to reduce, remove, or otherwise lessen existing obligations. For example, if the Council eliminates the requirement for street improvements for residential additions exceeding 800 square feet, that amendment could be applied retroactively. However, amendments that would impose new, additional, or more burdensome requirements should apply prospectively only and should not be applied retroactively to pending applications, previously approved projects, or completed construction. Any proposed ordinance should clearly specify whether retroactive application is intended, the effective date of that application, and the categories of projects to which it would apply.

It is important to note that the City’s recently adopted ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan includes information related to the City’s current regulations and practices to require development to provide street improvements such as ADA driveways, sidewalks, and curb ramps. These improvements were originally built by developers and the City has opted to maintain this infrastructure. If Council provides direction to amend the City Code to remove the requirement for street improvements, the City will then bear the financial responsibility to provide these improvements in the future.

Following Council direction, staff will coordinate with the City Attorney’s Office regarding next steps, confer with the appropriate Council Committees, and return to the Council with proposed amendments.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) as a general policy making activity.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on a Council Policy 030 Request for Information on Public Participation Options, and Audio/Visual (A/V) and Broadcasting Requirements for Potential Offsite City Council Meetings, and Direction to Staff

BACKGROUND
At the February 10, 2026, City Council Meeting, Vice Mayor Gonzalez made a Council Policy 030 request to agendize a review of public participation options such as Public Presentations only for in person public speakers or holding Council meetings at alternative locations outside of Council Chambers. The City Council agreed to add this item to a future City Council Agenda.

City Council meetings are currently held in the City Hall Council Chamber, which is equipped with integrated A/V systems that support in-room audio, video display, live production, broadcasting to the City’s government access television channel, and streaming to online platforms. The City Council has expressed interest in holding City Council meetings at an offsite location, with the Northside Library identified as a preferred venue.

City Council Chamber systems include a base A/V system with controllers and production equipment, microphones, multiple displays and projectors, and the Granicus platform used for agenda management, meeting tagging, and voting. Offsite locations do not currently have equivalent equipment and production capabilities.

DISCUSSION
Currently, City Council meetings are available for live public viewing and comment in person (at City Hall) and via Zoom (telephonically or over the internet). In addition, remote live viewing (without the ability to comment) can be accessed via Facebook, the City’s website (Granicus), the City’s government access television channel, and YouTube. In total, there are seven (7) ways to view live meetings of the City Council, three of which allow for live comments (in-person, Zoom over the telephone, and Zoom over the internet).

The Brown Act
SB 707 was passed into law in 2025 and requires that, as of July 1st, all open and public meetings, including City Council meetings, shall include an opportunity for members of the public to attend via a two-way telephonic service or a two-way audiovisual platform, except if adequate telephonic or internet service is not operational at the meeting location. Gov Code 54953.4(b)(1)(A)(i)(I)(ia).

If City Council elects to provide a two-way audiovisual platform, it shall publicly post and provide a call-in option, and activate any automatic captioning function during the meeting if an automatic City of Santa Clara Printed on 6/19/2026Page 1 of 4
powered by Legistar™
26-333 Agenda Date: 6/23/2026
captioning function is included with the two-way audiovisual platform. If Council does not provide a two-way audiovisual platform, it shall provide a two-way telephonic service for the public to participate in the meeting. Gov Code 54953.4(b)(1)(A)(ii).

In-Person Only Public Comment
As noted above, currently, the public may provide live comment either in person in the Council Chambers or remotely via Zoom. Members of the public may also submit written comments in advance, which are distributed to the Council and made part of the record. Although the Council 030 request included a request to consider limitation of remote comment by members of the public, that will not be possible as a result of the new requirements of SB 707.

Offsite Meeting Locations
As staff reviewed alternative City facilities, a key consideration was the equipment required to maintain broadcast quality on the City’s government access television channel.

Council Chamber meetings rely on an integrated set of production, broadcasting, and meeting- management systems that are not currently available at any other City of Santa Clara facility. To conduct a City Council meeting with comparable functionality at an offsite venue, the City would need to procure and install additional A/V and IT equipment, and in some cases provide supporting integration and configuration services. Missing equipment and capabilities include:

1. Production equipment for live switching, audio mixing, and recording;

2. Streaming and broadcasting components and encoders to deliver live and on-demand viewing;

3. Camera systems with pan-tilt-zoom controls, controller interfaces, and presets to support consistent camera angles and accessibility needs;

4. Additional dais and audience microphones;

5. Confidence/return displays and presenter displays for Councilmembers, staff, and the public; and

6. Granicus apparatus and associated peripherals used for agenda management, speaker timer and queues, and City Council voting, including required networking and security configurations.

Based on a preliminary assessment of required equipment and implementation services, staff have identified two options to support offsite City Council meetings (costs are one-time estimates and are subject to refinement during procurement and implementation):

1. Deploy permanent equipment at the Northside Library (approximately $149,000);

2. Deploy permanent equipment at both the Northside Library and Central Library (approximately $258,000)
Some additional, non-technological, considerations may include: room size and capacity, overflow capability, and scheduling.

powered by Legistar™
26-333 Agenda Date: 6/23/2026
If City Council provides direction to prepare for holding offsite City Council meetings, staff would need to further assess room layouts, power and network connectivity, acoustics, and sightlines during detailed design to confirm final quantities and costs. The City Council would receive an update of any additional costs at a later date and staff would then proceed with an implementation approach as well as any procurement actions consistent with City Council direction.

Recommendation
Provide direction to Staff regarding whether to proceed with preparations for holding City Council meetings at an offsite location, including desired meeting capabilities and service levels.

Alternatives

1. Maintain current practice and continue to provide seven (7) ways for the public to view live meetings of the City Council that occur at City Hall -noting that three of the options currently allow for live comments (in-person, Zoom over the telephone, and Zoom over the internet).

2. Provide an alternative direction with respect to the location and participation platforms to City Council meetings.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a) as it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
Any one-time costs to procure and install equipment to support offsite City Council meetings would be funded by Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) fees, subject to City Council direction and authorization. Preliminary one-time estimates are approximately $149,000 (Option 1) or $258,000 (Option 2), depending on the option selected. Estimates do not include any ongoing subscription, licensing, staffing, or support costs that may be required for the upkeep of the installed system (e.g., Granicus cloud annual costs) and for meeting-day setup and testing.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Information Technology Department, Finance Department, Library Department, City Clerk’s Office, City Manager’s Office and City Attorney’s Office.

PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting. A hard copy of any agenda report may be requested by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at (408) 615-2220, email [email protected] or at the public information desk at any City of Santa Clara public library.

RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction to Staff regarding whether to proceed with preparations for holding City Council meetings at an offsite location, including desired meeting capabilities and service levels.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Continuance of a Rezoning to Remove the Historic Combining District from 1341 Homestead Road (906 Monroe Street to Remain in Historic Combining District) and a Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide the property into two parcels each containing one of the existing residences

DISCUSSION
Staff requests a continuance of this item to the July 14, 2026 City Council meeting. The item was noticed to be heard at the Planning Commission meeting of May 20, 2026, and at the City Council meeting of June 23, 2026, however, due to scheduling conflicts for key staff for the May 20, 2026 Planning Commission meeting, the item required a continuance to the June 10, 2026, Planning Commission meeting. Consequently, the item requires continuation from the June 23, 2026 City Council meeting to the July 14, 2026 City Council meeting. The applicants were informed of the schedule change.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
No environmental determination is necessary for a continuance. An environmental determination will be included with the July 14, 2026, Council report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the action other than administrative staff time and any additional noticing costs.

PUBLIC CONTACT
A newspaper notice was published in the April 29, 2026, issue of the Santa Clara Weekly describing the proposed project and original public hearing meeting times. Should the City Council open the public hearing and then continue the hearing for this project to July 14, 2026, additional noticing will not be required.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing on this item and then immediately continue the item to the July 14, 2026, Council meeting.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Proclamation of June 2026 as Portuguese National Heritage Month

BACKGROUND
On June 4, 2021, Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) and Congressman David G. Valadao (CA-22) introduced a resolution to the United States Congress designating the month of June as “Portuguese National Heritage Month.” The resolution celebrates the historic, cultural, and significant contributions Portuguese Americans have made to the United States.

The month of June was selected to coincide with the Day of Portugal, which is celebrated on June 10th and commemorates the death in 1580 of Luis de Camões, a poet and Portuguese literary icon.

The City of Santa Clara has a rich history of Portuguese culture. Immigrants from Portugal began coming to the Santa Clara Valley in the mid-1800s, and immigration peaked in the first years of the 1900s. Then, in the late 1950s and 1960s, a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the Azores led to another wave of immigration.

Following the Azorean Refugees Act, almost 5,000 Portuguese people came to the United States, with a significant population putting down roots throughout California and in the Santa Clara region.

The City of Santa Clara established a Sister City with Coimbra, Portugal on August 4, 1972, and continues to strengthen relations with Coimbra through the Santa Clara Sister Cities organization.

DISCUSSION
At the June 23, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council will proclaim Portuguese National Heritage Month for June 2026 in Santa Clara. A representative from S.E.S Portuguese Hall of Santa Clara will be present to accept the proclamation.

Portuguese men and women in Santa Clara founded the S.E.S. Hall in 1896 as a fraternal organization dedicated to communication, connection, and community. The organization provides Portuguese residents with a welcoming place to gather, discuss current issues, celebrate their shared heritage, and exchange news from their homeland.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is an informative report only and no action is being taken by the City Council and no environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") is required.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City other than staff time.

Proclamation of July 2026 as Park and Recreation Month

BACKGROUND
The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has celebrated Park and Recreation Month each July since 1985 to promote strong, vibrant, and resilient communities through the power of parks and recreation. The observance also recognizes more than 160,000 full-time park and recreation professionals, along with hundreds of thousands of part-time, seasonal, and volunteer workers who support local, state, and community parks throughout the country.

Each July, the City of Santa Clara recognizes the contributions of park and recreation professionals and the positive impact they have on the lives of residents and communities. Parks and recreation programs, services, and facilities play an important role in supporting community health and well- being while fostering social connections, lifelong memories, and a sense of belonging.

DISCUSSION
The Santa Clara Parks & Recreation Department is responsible for the design, development, operations, and maintenance of over 350 acres of regional, community, neighborhood and mini parks, open space, community centers, recreation and aquatics facilities, joint use facilities, and athletic fields.

Parks and recreation activities are integral to communities throughout the country, promoting physical, social, emotional, and cognitive health and wellness. These programs, services, events, and facilities enrich the lives of Santa Clara residents and visitors. Furthermore, parks and recreation amenities contribute to the community’s economic vitality through increased tourism, attraction and retention of businesses, enhanced quality of life, and support for safe and vibrant neighborhoods.

Proclaiming July as Park and Recreation Month provides an opportunity for the City Council to officially acknowledge the importance of parks and recreation and the benefits they provide to Santa Clara residents and visitors. NRPA’s 2026 theme, “The Power of Parks and Recreation," reinforces several initiatives the Parks & Recreation Department is leading to develop, enhance, and maintain sustainable parks, recreational amenities, and green spaces for current and future generations.

Residents are encouraged to celebrate Park and Recreation Month by participating in the programs, events, and recreational opportunities offered throughout the community, including:
· Joining the 250 Independence Day community celebration on July 4 <https://www.santaclaraca.gov/our-city/departments-g-z/parks-recreation/special-events/4th-of- at Mission College.

Under Section 1094.6, any lawsuit or legal challenge to any quasi-adjudicative decision made by the City must be filed no later than the 90th day following the date on which such decision becomes final. Any lawsuit or legal challenge, which is not filed within that 90-day period, will be barred.
