Executive Director
Santa Clara Stadium Authority
From: Procurement Department
Forty Niners Stadium Management Company LLC
Subject: Recommendation for Award – RFP# FY25-0083 for Levi’s Stadium Professional Security Integrator Services
Recommendation:
1. Approve and authorize the Stadium Manager to enter into an agreement with Superior Alarm Systems (“SAS”) to provide on-call, as-needed professional security integrator services at Levi’s Stadium for an initial term of five (5) years commencing August 19, 2026, and expiring August 18, 2031, with five (5) optional one-year extensions through August 18, 2036 (“Agreement”), with a total not to exceed of One Million Eight Hundred Thirty Eight and Twenty Two Dollars ($1,838,022.00). The term for each fiscal year is contingent on the SCSA approving the applicable fiscal year's budget, including amounts due under the Agreements.
2. Authorize the SCSA Executive Director to approve future amendments as needed to: (a) exercise the option to extend the Agreement by five (5) one-year extension periods through August 18, 2036; and, (b) adjust labor rates for each one-year extension period by up to five percent (5%), in accordance with the terms and conditions associated with rate increases in Exhibit B of the Agreement.
3. Authorize the Stadium Manager to execute and administer task orders with SAS to perform services for approved security department budgeted items approved as part of the SCSA annual budget process during any fiscal year within the initial term and any extension periods, consistent with the terms and funding limitations set forth therein.
Reasons for Recommendation
Levi’s Stadium operates a large-scale, high-profile venue that serves a significant number of patrons and is subject to heightened security expectations and obligations, including compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards governing public safety, critical infrastructure protection, and risk management. Any failure or inadequacy in the Stadium’s security systems could result in significant
STADIUM
FORTY NINERS STADIUM MANAGEMENT COMPANY
operational, legal, financial, and reputational risk. Therefore, maintaining a robust, reliable, and continuously updated security infrastructure supported by qualified experts remains essential to protecting the venue, its operations, and its guests.
We are requesting a delegation of authority to enter into a long-term agreement with a qualified security integrator. All services will be performed pursuant to executed task orders.
Stadium Manager has not previously had a contract with a security integrator. However, the Stadium’s security infrastructure is aging, and security technologies are advancing rapidly requiring a level of expertise that only a qualified and experienced security integrator can properly address. Security integrators design, procure, install, and manage integrated security ecosystems. They conduct risk assessments and offer strategic planning. They select and source best-fit security equipment such as video surveillance, access control, perimeter protection, and screening technologies. At Levi’s Stadium, the security integrator will oversee the installation and integration of these systems within a centralized command center that enables real-time monitoring, incident response, and data-driven decision-making, often enhanced by analytics and AI. Security integrators also support event-day operations by improving crowd flow and safety, ensuring cybersecurity across connected systems, and enabling interoperability with public safety agencies for coordinated emergency response. Beyond deployment, they provide ongoing maintenance, system upgrades, and performance analysis, helping large-scale venues such as Levi’s Stadium continuously improve security and efficiency.
The security integrator will provide additional value by coordinating and collaborating with other Stadium vendors, contractors, and project teams to ensure that all Stadium projects are executed with appropriate consideration for security requirements. This includes ensuring that security systems are properly integrated into broader infrastructure projects and that security functionality is maintained or enhanced throughout all phases of design and construction.
Given the nature of the services, the security integrator will have access to highly sensitive and confidential security systems, infrastructure, and information. To mitigate risk and preserve the integrity of these systems, it is essential to limit access to a narrowly defined, controlled group of authorized personnel. The use of multiple security integrators for short-term engagements could increase security risk, create inefficiencies, and compromise operational continuity. Establishing a single, long-term security integrator is critical to maintaining sensitive security information control, as it minimizes the number of external parties with system access and reduces the need for repeated onboarding, training, and exposure of sensitive security information.
Further, the Stadium is subject to oversight and compliance requirements including, but not limited to, SAFETY Act designations promulgated by the US Department of Homeland Security and other regulatory frameworks. These requirements depend on 4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way I Santa Clara, CA 95054
maintaining a fully operational, reliable, and adaptable security system. The security integrator’s ability to modify and enhance the system in response to evolving regulatory standards is essential to maintaining compliance and avoiding operational, legal, financial, and reputational risk.
RFP Process:
On September 25, 2025, Stadium Manager issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select a security integrator to provide on-call, as-needed, professional security integrator services for Levi’s Stadium. Stadium Manager published the RFP on Bonfire Interactive, Stadium Manager’s eProcurement portal. In addition to inviting firms from our established supplier list, Stadium Manager also invited suppliers registered on the portal with specific commodity codes that offer these services. Interested proposers submitted a letter of interest, corporate qualifications, and executed a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement before Stadium Manager provided access to the full RFP. On October 21, 2025, Addendum #1 to the RFP was issued, providing answers to proposer questions. The RFP closed on October 30, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. (PT).
Five proposals were received from the following firms by the RFP due date and time.
1. Convergint

Notice of Intended Award:
4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way I Santa Clara, CA 95054
A notice of intended award (NOIA) was issued on April 28, 2026. The RFP process includes a ten-day protest period that began with the issuance of the NOIA. No protests were received.
Submission of Post-Award Submittals:
Once Stadium Manager receives approval from the SCSA Board, the Agreement will be executed, and a copy will be forwarded to the SCSA. Supporting documentation has been provided for review and approval.
Fiscal Impact:
The not-to-exceed amount of One Million Eight Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Twenty-Two Dollars ($1,838,022.00) for the initial five-year term includes Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) in projected shared stadium expenses and One Million Five Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand and Twenty-Two Dollars ($1,588,022.00) for SCSA-approved Capital Expenditure (Cap Ex) security projects for Fiscal Year 26/27.
The Shared Stadium Expenses will include, in part, the cost of conducting the comprehensive security system assessment. SCSA is responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the Shared Stadium Expenses up to a total of One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000.00).
The balance of One Million Five Hundred Eighty-Eight Thousand Twenty-Two Dollars ($1,588,022.00) equals the total budget amount approved by the SCSA for Cap Ex security projects for Fiscal Year 26/27, as shown in the table below.1
Project Name Total
Install Stadium Camera Booths Card Readers $96,558.00
Enhance Stadium Security Access Control (2020/21 Carryover) $270,133.00 Security General Allowance (2023/24 Carryover) $98,019.00 Stadium Camera Coverage Upgrade (2024/25 Carryover) $574,750.00 Security General Allowance $261,187.00
Surveillance-Cameras $287,375.00
Total $1,588,022.00
The requested not-to-exceed amount will not cover the costs for the entire Agreement term. Stadium Manager will request future SCSA approvals to amend the Agreement to increase the aggregate not-to-exceed amount to reflect budgets approved by the SCSA for future security Cap Ex and Shared Stadium Expense projects. 1 As preliminarily noted in the Stadium Manager’s letter to the SCSA dated March 20, 2026, the table below provides a tentative list of security Cap Ex projects, which may be subject to adjustment based upon recommendations made by the security integrator subject to the available total budget amount noted herein.
4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way I Santa Clara, CA 95054
The Agreement does not guarantee any minimum amount of work or compensation to the security integrator. All work will be done pursuant to written task orders.
A delegation of authority is requested to authorize the Executive Director to approve amendments to the Agreement for years six through ten (August 19, 2031, to August 18, 2036) to extend the term and to increase labor rates by up to five percent (5%) for each one-year extension period, consistent with the terms of the agreement to maintain levels of service. Any adjustments will remain subject to the terms of the Agreement and to available SCSA budget appropriations, including annual approval by the SCSA. 4900 Marie P.

26-806 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Public Hearing: Waive First Reading and Introduce the Third Zoning Code Cleanup Ordinance, and Adopt a Resolution Rezoning Properties Currently Designated TN (Transit Neighborhood) to R6 (Transit Neighborhood Residential); Continued from the July 14, 2026 City Council Meeting
BACKGROUND
The Zoning Code is the primary regulatory tool that implements the General Plan. As an on-going update, staff periodically brings clean-up ordinances to address clerical inconsistencies within the document or areas needing further clarification based on implementation of the new zoning code and to be consistent with recent changes in State Law. This allows the zoning code to stay current. Staff tracks the necessary updates over time and then periodically brings them forward as one clean up document. This report and resolution represent the third minor code clean-up ordinance.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The City of Santa Clara Planning Commission (Commission) heard the item at their June 10, 2026 meeting and discussed noticing for public hearings, which is typically done through required mailings, posting of the agenda online, Council Chamber, Library and Clerks Office. The online noticing requirement from the Zoning Code is duplicative as the notice is already on the event calendar. The Planning Commission recommended an alternative such as posting City Council agendas online, which are relevant and accessible and also fulfill the same function as online noticing of individual projects. This is the typical noticing, however for more complex or controversial projects, the City continues to do additional outreach per the adopted Outreach Policy.
The Planning Commission also discussed the definition of “Smoke Shop” and recommended revising it to better capture the range of items sold in such businesses. Specifically, the Commission recommended replacing “and” with “or” in the list describing smoking materials and paraphernalia used to determine whether a business is “primarily engaged in” those sales. The Planning Commission’s revised wording is included in the proposed ordinance.
The Planning Commission then voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the Cleanup Ordinance.
The Commission also recommended adoption of the map resolution to apply the R6 Transit Neighborhood designation to parcels currently designated TN (Transit Neighborhood), which was the zoning designation under the previous Zoning Code.
DISCUSSION
The City is bringing forward its third “clean-up” ordinance for the Zoning Code Update, primarily to address consistency concerns. As such, the proposed revisions are not considered substantial City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 4 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-806 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
modifications. The ordinance clean-up includes the following policy changes and consistency updates:
Policy Changes:
- Incorporating the provisions of the (HT) Historic Combining Districts into the Updated Zoning Code;
- Deleting the requirement for web posting of public hearing notices, which has not been the City’s practice and is not a part of the Public Outreach Policy; - Removing the public hearing requirement for architectural review of multi-family development projects as the City has adopted Objective Design Standards and will streamline projects; - Allowing additional height for institutional uses and differentiating them from assembly uses in the (PQP) public/quasi-public district;
- Adding definitions to clarify fence height requirements; - Revising public bike parking standards to require bike parking in commercial districts to be closer to the front door than the closest non-handicapped space; - Requiring uncovered parking on residential parcels to be perpendicular to the street; - Requiring automobile service bays to not be visible from the street; and - Modifying use tables to reflect the range of uses existing in commercial and industrial districts, including the differentiation of specialized instruction (e.g., painting and pottery classes) from vocational schools, this allows for more flexibility.
- Making minor edits to the noticing procedures for administrative citations, primarily to allow for priority mail delivery with tracking as an alternative to certified mail.
Errata:
- Rezoning the Tasman East district from TN (this was a holdover district from the previous Zoning Code) to R6, which is now part of the current code; - Updating the definition of Major Transit Stop to be consistent with recent changes to state law; - Restoring language that was inadvertently deleted requiring new Common Interest Developments to submit their draft CC&Rs to the City for review, and requiring subsequent review of CC&R amendments, but assigning that review authority to the Director of Community Development instead of the Council;
- Adding a definition for the term “Dwelling Unit”;
- Revising the definition of the term “Demolition” to square with the term presented in the Administration Chapter
- Updating the Visibility Clearance Diagram following feedback from the Department of Public Works
- Updating zoning districts in the City’s Noise Ordinance; this updates the zoning districts to be consistent with the new code
- Refining the definition of Smoke Shops;
- Making the General Plan and Zoning Code definitions of Floor Area Ratio consistent with each other;
- Allowing fully unbundled parking for apartments greater than 15 units per State law; - Allowing unbundled parking for parking spaces for commercial uses - Revising minimum lot sizes in the R2 two-family zone; - Making the R5 district maximum density consistent throughout the document; - Updating any citations to the California Government Code; - Correcting cross-references and spelling and punctuation mistakes; - Updating figures and making terms internally consistent in Title 18 (“Zoning”), and City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 4 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-806 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
- Updating the zoning map to reflect the applicable changes.
The adopting resolution is included as Attachment 1, and all tables that have are proposed to be changed are included as Attachment 2. The proposed R6 Zoning Code Amendment resolution is included as Attachment 3, with code changes presented in strikethrough and underline or highlighted as part of a table.
The adoption of the cleanup ordinance is a legislative act, not requiring any specific findings.
Recommendation
Consistent with the recommendation from the Planning Commission, staff recommends that City Council adopt the Planning Commission-recommended updates to the Zoning Code to be consistent with the General Plan and State Law. Concurrently, staff recommends the adoption of the Resolution updating the City’s Zoning Map to reflect the rezoning of properties currently designated TN (Transit Neighborhood) to R6 (Transit Neighborhood Residential).

Given that the Zoning Code Update is an implementation action for the 2010 General Plan Update, the City prepared an Addendum to the 2010-2035 General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) to cover adoption of the Zoning Code, Zoning Map, and related General Plan Amendments. The Addendum indicated that the adoption of the Zoning Code Update would not result in environmental impacts beyond those described in the General Plan Update EIR. At the conclusion of the public hearing on November 15, 2023, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the City Council approve the Addendum, and on December 19, 2023, the City Council adopted the Addendum. The recommended actions all fall within the scope of the adopted Addendum.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the Third Zoning Code Cleanup Ordinance and associated Zoning Map Amendments for the R6 District would fully implement the City’s General Plan land use diagram. These actions would involve no additional resources beyond those indicated at the time of Zoning Code adoption.
COORDINATION
This item was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

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 (DEFERRED FROM JUNE 23, 2026)
BACKGROUND
At the November 18, 2025 City Council meeting, Councilmember Chahal submitted a Council Policy 030 request to consider possible revisions to 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 Developments,” 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. (a) 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) 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) 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) 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 and § 17.15.260.
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 City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 6 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-777 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
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, or reconstruction.
3. Determine Required Improvements
City of Santa Clara Page 2 of 6 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-777 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
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.
Peer City Benchmarking Information
Staff contacted several peer cities to determine if those cities have similar requirements for street improvements in connection with residential building permit applications. The cities of Milpitas, Mountain View, San Jose and Sunnyvale responded and in general they do not typically require street improvements for residential building permit projects. Below is a summary of their feedback.
Milpitas:
· No codified square-footage trigger
· Sidewalk and driveway improvements only required when a project fronts an unimproved street.
Mountain View:
· Code: If project valuation is over $175,000 and outside of a flood zone, residential project is required to do public improvements
· Sewer lateral video is required
· Sidewalk and driveway improvements not required unless proposed by the applicant; if proposed, must meet current standards
San Jose:
· No codified square-footage trigger
· May require driveway/sidewalk upgrades if none exist, or where scope creates a clear nexus Sunnyvale:
· No codified square-footage trigger
· Residential building permits not reviewed by Public Works. Sidewalk and driveway improvements required only if owner proposes to relocate driveway.
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, City of Santa Clara Page 4 of 6 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-777 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
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.
FISCAL IMPACT
In addition to costs related to City staff time and expense necessary to prepare this report, if the City Council provides direction to remove the requirement for street improvements as currently required in City Code Chapter 17.15.100, the City will be responsible for the subject improvements in the future.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office, Community Development Department and City Manager’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
Discuss and provide direction related to revising Chapter 17.15 of the City Code (Property Developments) related to Required Street Improvements.

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 (DEFERRED FROM JUNE 23, 2026)
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 Page 1 of 4 Printed on 8/14/2026

26-778 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
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 meetingmanagement 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.

26-778 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
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.

DISCUSSION
The City Clerk’s Office received a Council Written Request on June 29, 2026, submitted by Councilmember Jain requesting than an item be placed on a a future meeting agenda to discuss the creation of a policy limiting the type of water used by future data centers. The request also calls for discussion regarding the City’s potential participation in any future Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program administered by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) or State of California.
As a reminder, this item is for purposes of discussing whether or not the Council wants to agendize this item on a future Council agenda for a report or action. It is not for purposes of discussing the substance of the item itself. Specifically, the policy provides as follows:
1. At the meeting where the request to add an item to a future agenda is heard, Council discussion is limited to whether the item should be added to an agenda and a date, not the merit of the item. Valid considerations that can be discussed include whether the matter is within the City’s jurisdiction, being addressed in some other way, City resource requirements, legality, timing, and prioritization.
2. Council may take the following actions when a request is made:
a. No Action
b. Refer the request to City staff for further study and a timely report back to Council c. Refer the item to a future annual Council Priority Setting session meeting d. Placement on a future Council meeting agenda for further consideration or action
3. At the meeting where the item is first considered, if a majority of the City Council supports City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 8/14/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-775 Agenda Date: 8/18/2026
further study of the item, then a full staff analysis shall be prepared within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise directed by the City Council. If the request requires more than thirty (30) calendar days to prepare, status updates will be provided to the City Council every sixty (60) days as an informational memo.
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)(5) in that it is a administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with considering the request to be placed on a future agenda except for staff time.
