REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Proclamation of October 2026 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month

BACKGROUND
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month began as an awareness campaign in 1985 as a partnership between the American Cancer Society and the pharmaceutical division of Imperial Chemical Industries to educate women about breast cancer and mammograms as an important tool to be used in the fight against breast cancer. Former First Lady Betty Ford, a breast cancer survivor, helped kick off the inaugural event to bring awareness to the disease.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the United States. In 2026, more than 310,000 women are estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer. It should be noted that men can also contract breast cancer, and more than 2,800 men are estimated to be diagnosed in 2026.

Currently, there are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Since 1985, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been held annually in October. The month aims to increase awareness of the disease, raise funds for research, and educate communities about the importance of early screening and detection of breast cancer. The pink ribbon was first utilized in 1992 as a visual reminder of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The 2026 American Cancer Society (ACS) theme for Breast Cancer Awareness Month is "Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters."

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Clara joins communities across the nation in recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month and raising awareness about breast cancer while honoring and supporting individuals and families affected by the disease. At the October 6, 2026, City Council meeting, the City Council will proclaim October 2026 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Santa Clara, reaffirming the importance of awareness, education, early detection, and support for those impacted by breast cancer.

Executive Director Pam Klaus and Chief Operating Officer, Morrigan Bruce, from Cancer CAREPoint will be present to accept the proclamation.

Cancer CAREPoint is an organization dedicated to transforming support for cancer patients and survivors, their families, and caregivers in the Bay Area through personalized counseling, assistance, resources, and education.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This is an information 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.

WHEREAS, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated throughout the month of October to increase awareness of the disease, to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure, as well as to educate people about the importance of early screening and detecting breast cancer early; and

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Proclamation of October 2026 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month

BACKGROUND
In October 1981, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence observed the first Day of Unity as part of its efforts to end domestic violence in the United States and unite advocates working to support survivors and prevent abuse. In 1989, Congress formally designated October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, establishing a national observance dedicated to increasing awareness, supporting survivors, and promoting efforts to prevent domestic violence.

Each October, cities and communities across the nation come together to uplift the voices and experiences of survivors and reaffirm their commitment to ending domestic violence. Domestic violence is a serious and potentially life-threatening issue that affects millions of individuals across the United States, regardless of age, economic status, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ability, or education level. The National Domestic Violence Hotline provides free, confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

This year’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month theme, “#Every1KnowsSome1,” highlights the widespread impact of domestic violence and reminds us that it can affect anyone in our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. The campaign encourages greater awareness, support for survivors, and a shared commitment to preventing domestic violence and fostering safe and healthy communities.

DISCUSSION
At the October 6, 2026, City Council meeting, the City of Santa Clara will proclaim October 2026 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Tejeswi Dodda, Self-Sufficiency Coordinator from Maitri will be present to accept the proclamation.

Founded in 1991, Maitri is a free, confidential, nonprofit organization based in the Bay Area that provides services and a toll-free phone line to support families and individuals, primarily from South Asia, facing domestic violence, emotional abuse, cultural alienation, or family conflict. To reach the Maitri toll-free helpline by phone, call 1-888-862-4874.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Proclamation of October 18 - 24, 2026 as United Against Hate Week

BACKGROUND
In recent years, communities across the nation have experienced increased division, accompanied by incidents of hate, discrimination, and intolerance. In response to a rise in expressions of hate within local communities, civic leaders launched the United Against Hate campaign in 2017 to empower residents, organizations, schools, and local governments to take action against hate and promote inclusion. The campaign serves as a call for local civic action to address hate, discrimination, and implicit bias and to foster safe, welcoming, and respectful communities.

At the December 19, 2023, City Council meeting, the City of Santa Clara adopted a Resolution (Attachment 1) supporting United Against Hate for the first time. Through the Resolution, the City affirmed its commitment to confronting injustice and intolerance and standing against racism, discrimination, and hate in all forms.

In 2026, United Against Hate Week will be observed October 18 through October 24. The campaign encourages cities, towns, schools, community organizations, and residents to come together to raise awareness, challenge bullying and bias, and promote respect and understanding.

The City of Santa Clara recognizes United Against Hate Week as an important opportunity to reaffirm its ongoing commitment to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful community. Through continued participation in the United Against Hate movement, the City encourages all Santa Clarans to promote unity, embrace the strength of the community’s diversity, stand against hate and intolerance, and work together to build a safe and equitable community for all.

DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Clara will promote the United Against Hate campaign with the distribution of “Santa Clara Stands Against Hate” posters and materials. As part of United Against Hate week, the City will implement the following campaign for the City of Santa Clara. · Create reading list with Santa Clara City Library promoting themes of unity and support for the City’s diverse community during United Against Hate week · Work with community partners to amplify awareness
· Produce a video for City social media platforms featuring city employees in solidarity with United Against Hate Week
· Distribute United Against Hate posters to business owners and residents · Provide United Against Hate posters to all public-facing City facilities City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 10/2/2026

On July 7, the City Council took action on the Bowers Park consent item related to the rehabilitation of the park parking lot. The project will include the addition of electric vehicle charging stations and solar charging infrastructure at Bowers Park.

The Recreation Manager also reported that, on the upcoming July 14 City Council consent calendar, three new master service agreements are scheduled for consideration.

The Pickleball Survey remains open and will close on July 31. Staff will host two community meetings at the end of July, with opportunities for both in-person and Zoom participation. Feedback received through the survey and community meetings will help inform future facility planning and improvements.

Henry Schmidt Park is currently under construction. The lighting improvements are ready, and the park will include dual-track lighting for morning and evening use. Staff also anticipates a parallel project related to the courts, potentially beginning sometime next month.

The Recreation Manager thanked the Commissioners for attending the Fourth of July event. Additional community events include the Watch Party and Night Market taking place this weekend.

Fall registration opens for residents on July 21 at 7:00 a.m. The Recreation Manager also noted that Moana Jr. opens this week, followed by Rent next week, and encouraged Commissioners and the community to attend one of the performances.

He also reported water in the street through the app.

Commissioner Chu reported that she visited all City parks, completing her final visit at Bill Wilson Park earlier that day. She noted that it was interesting to see the differences between older and newer parks.

She also shared that ballet programming will begin soon. Commissioner Chu reported that a wasp nest was removed promptly after being reported through MySantaClara and stated that she was impressed with the speed of the resolution.

Vice Chair DeMarco reported that he was unable to attend the Fourth of July event because he was out of town. He shared that his child is currently enrolled in an acrobatics class at the Community Recreation Center and is enjoying the program. Vice Chair DeMarco also visited Homeridge Park and enjoyed the park, but noted that the interactive sound feature and rolling slide were not working.

Commissioner Forte reported that he attended the Fourth of July event at Mission College and estimated that approximately 7,000 to 10,000 people were in attendance during the evening. He also attended the Special Olympics event at Santa Clara University and the watch parties at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Chair Gupta requested to be excused from the meeting to attend to a personal family matter. He was excused at 8:00 p.m., prior to the start of the Commissioners’ Report portion of the meeting.

Commissioner Ganesh reported that he has used Santa Clara Parks & Recreation services since he was younger, including summer camps, coding classes, swimming, and Little League. He shared that he is familiar with many of the City’s parks and continues to use Parks & Recreation facilities and services for activities such as playing football with friends, running, and flying his RC helicopter.

Commissioner Ganesh noted that he enjoys staying active, particularly because his work is primarily sedentary. He expressed appreciation for the opportunity to serve on the Parks & Recreation Commission and stated that he looks forward to becoming more involved in community events over the next few months. He also shared that he previously attended City events and programs such as the Art & Wine Festival and winter ice skating.

He also shared that another BBQ is scheduled to take place at the Senior Center. He reported visiting City Plaza Park, Thamien Park, War Memorial Park, and Fremont Park. He also completed a full walkthrough of the Senior Center and noted that the facility is looking nice, with new equipment in the gym. He observed approximately 10 to 12 people using the gym during the middle of the day.

Commissioner Souza also reported having a positive conversation with Anna Vargas Smith, Chair of the Parade of Champions, Vice President of the Sister Cities group, and a recently appointed member of the Cultural Commission. They discussed the possibility of holding a concert at City Plaza Park featuring the Santa Clara Portuguese Band. Ms. Vargas Smith expressed interest, and they have been in contact with the band. As a potential next step, Ms. Vargas Smith may present the idea to the Cultural Commission.

He further reported that he has been conducting research on City Plaza Park, noting that it was the City’s first and only park in the late 1800s. He found a photo of the original bandstand, which dates back to 1808.

The original bandstand was later removed to construct the library; however, a replica is located at History Park in San José and closely resembles the original structure.

Recommendation: Review and approve Board of Library Trustees work plan for FY 2026-27, including the selection of Board liaisons and the identification of informational report topics to receive.

The Board reviewed the revised work plan. For the section regarding review and possible revision of older policies, discussion was held on prior work updating policies and the availability of policies on the Library website. The Board recommended keeping as priorities the 4 policies listed in the draft work plan, and moving the Policy Regarding Privacy and Confidentiality to the end of the list. The Board then discussed appointing liaisons from among the Trustees to the other City of Santa Clara Boards and Commissions, and the role of liaison to attend meetings, listen and share information with the other Trustees and Commissioners, in order to support coordination between their efforts and the Library.

26-791 Update on the Recruitment of a New City Librarian Recommendation: Note and file update on the Recruitment of a new City Librarian Ashley Lancaster, Director of Human Resources provided an update to the Board on the recruitment for a new City Librarian. She shared that there were over 25 applicants to date, lots of outreach still underway, and that the job posting would close on August 9, 2026. The next steps would be for the consultants conducting the recruitment, Teri Black & Co., to screen the applications for mandatory and preferred qualifications, and narrow the list down to their top recommendations for City interviews.

She anticipates interviews to be held in September, incorporating both library professionals and City management, and shared that outreach to panelists is already underway. There is planned to be one set of interviews with community representatives, including a representative from the Board, SCCLFF, and other city librarians. A second set of interviews is planned to include the City Manager's Office. Top candidates will meet the City Manager and the Board, who will have the opportunity to ask questions. This will likely occur during a special meeting of the Board towards the end of September, and may be just 1-3 of the top candidates following completion of the interviews. An offer is anticipated to be issued at the end of September, allowing for time to cross-train with City Librarian Patty Wong to support the transition.

Chair Evans is expected to participate on the interview panel representing the Board, although if he is out of town that may fall to his alternate, Trustee Mohammed. When the Board meets the
candidate(s), they will have the opportunity to review the selection.

Ideally, Human Resources hopes to have a new City Librarian in place by October 2026. At the regular Board meeting in September, the Board will have the opportunity to discuss and select possible dates for the special meeting.

A motion was made by Vice-Chair Huynh, seconded by Trustee Ricossa, to note and file the report.

Aye: Chair Evans, Vice-Chair Huynh, Trustee Mohammed, Trustee Ricossa, and Trustee Edelstein

DISCUSSION
At its March 10, 2026 meeting, the Stadium Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget which runs from April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027. Significant expenditures (greater than $5,000) paid in August 2026 include:

· Payment totaling $94,525.00 to SCC Electric Inc. for CapEx Project L2001: Radio Booth Cabling - Phase I
Names of law firms have been redacted from the Bills and Claims report. The Supreme Court of California in Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors v. Superior Court, (2016) 2 Cal.5th 282, held that invoices specifying the amounts billed by a law firm to a client fall within the scope of attorneyclient privilege while the matters are active. In accordance with the Supreme Court’s ruling, the names of law firms retained by the Stadium Authority, and the specific amounts billed by each, have been redacted from the public report to maintain the confidentiality of billing records for specific legal services. The aggregate amount spent on legal services in the subject time period has been provided.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does 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 it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to the Stadium Authority is $1,792,137.33.

COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Executive Director and Stadium Authority Counsel’s Offices.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the list of Stadium Authority Bills and Claims for August 2026.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Report on Pedestrian Access Restrictions on Portions of Lawrence and San Tomas Expressways and Potential Council Action to Affirm Such Restrictions

BACKGROUND
At the November 12, 2024 City Council meeting during the Public Presentations portion of the agenda, member of the public Mr. Akos Szoboszlay requested that the City repeal Resolution No. 5603 (Attachment 1) related to existing pedestrian restrictions on portions of Lawrence and San Tomas Expressways. Mr. Szoboszlay indicated to staff that the restriction is unnecessary and that pedestrians should be allowed to walk on County expressways including portions without sidewalks.

This request was referred to staff for follow up with the resident. Staff followed up with the resident, however Mr. Szoboszlay returned to City Council meetings on several occasions to request that the resolution be repealed.

At the September 16, 2025 City Council meeting, Mr. Szoboszlay reiterated his request and staff were requested to schedule a study session on the subject. Following the meeting, staff have met with both the County of Santa Clara and Mr. Szoboszlay on this matter. Based on the available information and discussions at those meetings, staff has informed Mr. Szoboszlay that the City and County currently do not support repeal of the resolution.

On November 18, 2025, the City Council held a study session on pedestrian access on County expressways. Staff provided a presentation to the City Council on the item and County of Santa Clara Roads and Airports Department staff also attended the meeting and addressed questions. Mr.

Szoboszlay and other members of the public provided comments and City Council requested to continue the discussion after major events (i.e. FIFA World Cup matches) concluded at Levi’s Stadium.

At the August 18, 2026 City Council meeting during the Public Presentations portion of the agenda, Mr. Szoboszlay provided another public presentation on the subject of pedestrian restrictions on County expressways and inquired about when the follow up discussion with the City Council would occur. Staff responded that the discussion had already been tentatively scheduled for the October 6, 2026 City Council meeting.

Roles, Responsibilities, and Jurisdiction
While the County of Santa Clara operates and maintains the expressway system and manages pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle traffic, the Santa Clara Police Department provides traffic enforcement and collision investigation on County expressways within City limits. Under California Vehicle Code Section 21960, both the County and local authorities may restrict pedestrian use of expressways by ordinance or resolution after appropriate signs are posted. For restrictions adopted City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 10/2/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-174 Agenda Date: 10/6/2026
after January 1, 2005, the local authority must find that pedestrian use would pose a safety risk. 2006 City Council Direction on Pedestrian Restrictions on County Expressways In 2006, after reviewing a prior petition to repeal the resolution from Mr. Szoboszlay, the City Council directed that the County lead on pedestrian-prohibition ordinances for expressways, that Resolution No. 5603 be repealed only upon adoption of future County ordinances modifying pedestrian prohibitions on expressways, and that the County be requested to develop a program and funding to add sidewalks on expressways.

DISCUSSION
Current Conditions and Safety Considerations
Along portions of Lawrence and San Tomas Expressways, pedestrian restriction signage exists where adequate sidewalks are not present. To assist pedestrians, the County is in the process of installing new guidance signage identifying alternative pedestrian routes.

Additionally, when evaluating whether a pedestrian should be allowed to walk along a portion of the expressway without sidewalks, the following should be considered:
· Areas along the expressway without sidewalks would not likely meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and pedestrian design standards. · Limited lighting along expressways can reduce nighttime visibility of pedestrians. · Debris, uneven surfaces, and drainage structures pose walking hazards along expressway shoulders.
· High-speed traffic, vehicle breakdowns, and maintenance activities create conflicts. · Restricting pedestrian access (where there are no sidewalks) reduces risk and liability from unsafe conditions.

County of Santa Clara Active Transportation Plan
Moving forward, the County’s Active Transportation Plan, adopted in June 2025 by the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors, identifies pedestrian improvements for expressway corridors, including sidewalks along key corridors, Class I shared-use paths on one side of an expressway, and filling sidewalk gaps on one or both sides of corridors. Completion of these improvements is subject to available funding and resources. Upon completion of such improvements the lifting of pedestrian restrictions could occur.

Staff Recommendation
Based on all of the above, City and County staff do not recommend immediate repeal of the existing pedestrian restriction along portions of Lawrence and San Tomas Expressways. Instead, staff recommends that the City Council affirm the 2006 City Council direction on the matter including:
· County to lead on pedestrian prohibition ordinances for County Expressways where appropriate.
· Council Consideration of the Repeal of Resolution 5603 should only occur upon adoption of future County ordinances modifying pedestrian prohibitions on County Expressways as appropriate (for example, if and when pedestrian improvements are constructed). · Collaborate with and support the County’s implementation of their Active Transportation Plan. · City to continue to request new sidewalks on County Expressways as appropriate through City development projects.

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
There is no fiscal impact associated with the staff recommendation affirming the 2006 City Council direction on the matter beyond staff time for ongoing coordination with the County and review of pedestrian facilities through applicable development projects. Alternate Council direction would require additional staff time and cost and require prioritization compared to other ongoing staff efforts.

COORDINATION
The report was coordinated with City Attorney’s Office, Police Department, and the County of Santa Clara Roads and Airports Department.

RECOMMENDATION
Affirm the 2006 City Council direction on existing pedestrian restrictions on portions of Lawrence and San Tomas Expressways including:

1. County to lead on pedestrian prohibition ordinances for County expressways;

2. Council consideration of the repeal of Resolution 5603 should only occur upon adoption of future County ordinances modifying pedestrian prohibitions on expressways;

3. Collaborate with and support the County’s implementation of their Active Transportation Plan; and

4. City to continue to request new sidewalks on expressways as appropriate through City development projects.

REPORT TO STADIUM AUTHORITY BOARD

SUBJECT
Action on the Santa Clara Stadium Authority Financial Status Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 2026 and to Approve Related Budget Amendments

BACKGROUND
In Fiscal Year 2014/15 the Stadium Authority Board (Board) requested that staff prepare quarterly Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority) Financial Status Reports. These reports provide an update on the events held at Levi’s® Stadium, Stadium Authority finances, and the impact of Stadium Authority activity on the City of Santa Clara (City).

This report provides information covering the Stadium Authority’s first quarter of the 2026/27 fiscal year (FY), which runs from April 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026.

The Adopted Stadium Authority Budget incorporates the estimated revenues and expenses for all Stadium Authority funds. As a part of the Stadium Authority policy to ensure adherence to the budget, a budget/encumbrance control system is used to ensure proper budgetary control. Budgetary appropriation control for expenditures is maintained at the fund level. The attached Financial Status Report provides the budget to actual revenue and expense summaries for the operating, debt service, and capital funds. Analysis of financial activity through the fiscal year measures the adherence to the budget and allows the Stadium Authority to monitor and project revenues and expenses. Any significant variances are explained in the report.

DISCUSSION
The attached financial status report provides information covering the Stadium Authority’s first quarter (April 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026) of FY 2026/27. The report summarizes National Football League (NFL) and Non-NFL event activity at Levi’s® Stadium and describes the financial impact of these events on the Stadium Authority and City since FY 2014/15. The report also provides the budget to actual revenue and expense summaries for the operating, debt service, and capital funds. Analysis of financial activity through the fiscal year measures the adherence to the budget and allows the Stadium Authority to monitor and project revenues and expenses. Any significant variances are explained in the report.

NFL Event Revenue and Expenses
There were no NFL games held in the first quarter of the FY 2026/27. Levi’s® Stadium hosted the first 49ers pre-season game of the 2026 season on August 13, 2026, which will be included in the report for the second quarter.

Non-NFL Event Revenue and Expenses
There were no large-scale ticketed Non-NFL events and four special events during the first quarter of ®
City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 5 Printed on 10/2/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-801 Agenda Date: 10/6/2026
FY 2026/27, which are detailed in the report. During the quarter, Levi’s® Stadium hosted five FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC26) matches. These matches generated approximately $1.7 million in NonNFL event ticket surcharge based on a $6 per ticket surcharge described in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Based on the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement, half of the $4 per ticket base ticket surcharge, (or $2 per ticket) will be deposited into the Discretionary Fund and the amount over the base ticket surcharge (or $2 per ticket) will be deposited into the Public Safety Cost Reserve. These revenues are reflected in the Operating Budget Status Report in Attachment 1.

When combining ticketed and non-ticketed Non-NFL revenues to date, Table 1 below shows approximately $296,000 in net revenue (excluding surcharge revenue) through the end of the first quarter. This is a decrease of $1.9 million from the prior year’s Non-NFL event net revenue of $2.2 million for the quarter. It should be noted the financial information provided are preliminary numbers and subject to change as additional revenues and/or expenditures are recorded. It should also be noted that subsequent to the conclusion of the FIFA World Cup events, the stadium has 10 booked ticketed event days, which indicate a strong overall activity for the fiscal year. The Stadium is on track to host twenty-five (25) ticketed events this fiscal year, a record number for the venue. Results from these events will be reported in subsequent quarterly reports.

Stadium Authority Budgets
The detailed analysis of Stadium Authority budget to actual financials is provided in the attached Financial Status Reports. In summary, total operating revenues were $9.0 million representing 13% of the overall budget for revenues and total operating expenses were $7.3 million or 20% of the budget. The debt service fund was able to pay down $9.2 million in debt, bringing total Stadium Authority debt down to $200.5 million. Capital expenses were $257,000 representing 1% of the overall Capital Expense (CapEx) budget.

FY 2026/27 Stadium Authority Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget. On March 10, 2026, the Stadium Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority FY 2026/27 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget. As of the timing of the publication of this report, additional information from FY 2026/27 has resulted in recommended budget adjustments as follows:

Operating Budget:
1) Buffet Costs: In FY 2026/27, the complimentary buffet cost due to StadCo is budgeted at $859,329 for the NFL season or $95,481 per NFL game. The Stadium Authority has the option to request StadCo to track buffet expenses and provide accounting records at the Stadium Authority’s expense. This fee is calculated at 5% of the annual buffet cost. The Stadium Authority has elected to utilize this service for FY 2026/27. Therefore, a budget amendment of $43,000 is needed to reflect the additional cost for the buffet accounting fee. 2) PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance: In FY 2026/27 $421,000 is budgeted to pay down the PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance based on a projection of what would be paid down in FY 2025/26.

The actual amount paid in FY 2025/26 was slightly lower than projected leaving a remaining balance at the end of FY 2025/26 of $512,267. Therefore, a budget amendment of $91,267 is needed to reflect the additional amount that is expected to be paid at the end of FY 2026/27, fully paying off the PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance.
3) Transfer to City General Fund from Excess Revenues: In FY 2026/27, a transfer of $4.5 million in excess revenues to the City’s General Fund is budgeted. Based on projected expenses resulting from the actions described above, $4.3 million is expected to be transferred to the City’s General Fund. Therefore, a budget amendment of $112,767 is needed to reflect the decreased payment to the General Fund.
4) Renovation/Demolition Reserve: In FY 2026/27, a transfer of $4.9 million in excess revenues to the Renovation/Demolition Reserve is budgeted. Based on projected expenses resulting from the actions described above, a budget amendment of $21,500 is needed to reflect the reduced transfer to the Renovation/Demolition Reserve.

Capital Expense (CapEx) Budget:
1) L2710: E-Bikes - This project funds the purchase of 3 E-Bikes. The manufacturer phased out City of Santa Clara Page 3 of 5 Printed on 10/2/2026

26-801 Agenda Date: 10/6/2026
production of the model that the budget was based on. The current production model and the only model available for purchase has an improved electrical system, including increased torque and battery life. Due to unanticipated cost associated with purchasing the new model, staff is requesting a budget amendment to increase the project allocation from $18,000 to $20,000.
2) L2407: Plumbing-Boilers - This project addresses the general renewal and replacement of necessary plumbing equipment in the stadium, including, but not limited to, piping, fittings, vents, joints, switches, cleanouts, valves, drains, traps, primers, strainers, pumps, water heaters, interceptors, filters, and/or water softener systems. The project requires a budget amendment to cover additional project management costs related to the Plumbing - Boilers project. Therefore, staff is requesting a budget amendment to increase the Plumbing-Boilers project budget by $2,000.
3) L2714: ADA Platforms - This project will address the procurement and installation of platforms for the placement of additional accessible seating sections on the 300 level concourse behind the lower bowl seating sections. A study in consultation with a certified access specialist (CASp) will be performed as part of this project in order to evaluate the total amount of additional accessible seating that can be added, taking into account factors including ingress, egress, spacing, and path of travel. To keep the project on schedule, a budget amendment is required to accelerate project costs from FY 2027/28 and pull forward $200,000 from the total approved FY 2027/28 project cost of $1,500,000. These funds will support the necessary design and architectural work to proceed with the project. 4) L2715: Premium Areas - This project addresses refurbishing specified elements of premium club spaces at the stadium. These premium club areas provide hospitality to the highest paying SBL members and host a multitude of non-NFL catered events. Lifecycle expectations for finishes in these areas are 10 years based on heavy usage. To keep the project on schedule, a budget amendment is required to accelerate project costs and pull forward $150,000 from the total approved FY 2027/28 project cost of $1,205,058. These funds will support the necessary design and architectural work to proceed with the project. 5) Stadium Warranty Related Construction - The Stadium Warranty Related Construction is anticipated to decrease by $350,000 to offset the actions taken above for the ADA Platforms and Premium Areas. A budget amendment is needed to reflect the decrease in the Stadium Warranty Related Construction from $1,528,000 to $1,178,000. A corresponding reduction in FY 2027/28 as a result of moving projects forward by one fiscal year would free up $350,000 in year 2 that could be used to be allocated to high-priority projects or replenish the Warranty Related Construction allocation pending project justification through the next budget process. 6) Ending Fund Balance: The Ending Fund Balance is anticipated to decrease by $4,000 due to the actions taken above for the E-Bikes and Plumbing-Boilers. A budget amendment of $4,000 is needed to reflect the decrease in the Ending Fund Balance - Unrestricted from $342,497 to $338,497.

This Santa Clara Stadium Authority (“Stadium Authority”) Financial Status Report provides information covering the first quarter of the Stadium Authority’s 2026/27 fiscal year (FY) which ended on June 30, 2026. Comparative data from prior fiscal years are also included.

In addition to these quarterly reports, the Stadium Authority produces annual financial statements. The FY 2025/26 financial statements were audited by an external audit firm and presented to the Stadium Authority’s Audit Committee (Audit Committee) on September 4, 2026 and submitted to the Stadium Authority Board (Board) to note and file the financial statements on September 15, 2026. The financial statements are published on the Stadium Authority’s website.

The Stadium Authority also prepares a detailed budget prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. The FY 2026/27 budget was adopted by the Board on March 10, 2026.

Stadium Authority finances are structured so that the City of Santa Clara (City) is not liable for the debts or obligations of the Stadium Authority. All services provided by the City, including administrative and public safety, to the Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC (Stadium Manager) or the Stadium Authority are fully reimbursed.

Methodology
Information provided in this report was based in part on documentation submitted by the Stadium Manager. Specifically, National Football League (NFL) and Non-NFL event statistics and financial information relating to the Stadium Manager expenses are provided by the Stadium Manager. Stadium Authority staff has access to select financial information submitted by the Stadium Manager provided through the Financial Management System and event reports received for Non-NFL events. These reports are received 45 days after each event for events with attendance greater than 25,000. More detailed documents are received within 90 days after the close of the quarter. For all other financial information, a full detailed review and/or audit of source documentation has not been completed by the Stadium Authority for this report.

The information provided reflects the best known and available at the time of the writing of this report and is subject to further revision and review. Revisions may occur based on the timing of revenue and expenditure activity for events in this quarter that continue beyond the timing of this report. Consequently, the Board’s notation and filing of this report should not be considered an approval of the accuracy of the information in the report. 3 This page intentionally left blank
4 NFL Events
This section provides fiscal year to date and comparative data for NFL games categorized as pre-season and regular season games. There were no NFL games held during the first quarter of FY 2026/27. Levi’s® Stadium hosted the first 49ers pre-season game of the 2026 season on August 13, 2026, which will be included in the report for the second quarter.

Non-NFL Events
This section provides year-to-date and comparative data for Non-NFL events categorized as events ranging from international soccer matches, concerts, wedding fairs, and special events. During the first quarter of FY 2026/27 Levi’s® Stadium hosted five of six FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC26) matches scheduled from June 13 through July 1, 2026. Due to the World Cup match schedule and related Stadium activities, no other ticketed NonNFL events were held during the quarter and were entirely scheduled for after the FWC26 matches. The World Cup matches generated approximately $1.7 million in ticket surcharge revenue during the first quarter, based on a $6 per ticket surcharge described in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Based on the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement, half of the $4 per ticket base ticket surcharge, (or $2 per ticket) will be deposited into the Discretionary Fund and the amount over the base ticket surcharge (or $2 per ticket) will be deposited into the Public Safety Cost Reserve.

The Stadium Manager reports that 4 smaller special events were held at Levi’s® Stadium which is 12 events less than the same period of the prior fiscal year. Attendance at these events also decreased from 4,778 in the prior period to 1,280 in the current year, a 73% decrease. Examples of these special events include corporate events of various sizes, weddings, holiday parties, high school dances, etc. The decrease in Non-NFL special events from twelve (12) to four (4) was primarily driven by the FIFA World Cup. Due to FIFA's exclusive use period, Levi's Stadium was restricted from hosting non-FIFA events during that window, significantly limiting the number of available dates for special events in Q1.

In connection with the smaller special events, total Non-NFL event public safety costs were $933. These costs were invoiced to the Stadium Manager and will be reimbursed to the City.

Statistics for FY 2026/27 events are shown in Table 1 and comparative data from the last five years of operations are shown in Table 2.

The surcharge exceeding the $4 per ticket base is shown in the table as additional ticket surcharge.

Levi's® Stadium
6 Table 3 and 4 show Non-NFL net revenue by event type and event revenue and expenses by category. For FY 2026/27, the Stadium Manager anticipates Non-NFL events to result in estimated net revenue of $4.6 million, as cited in the FY 2026/27 Adopted Stadium Authority Budget. In the first quarter of FY 2026/27, non-ticketed special events contributed $82,000 in net revenues. There was also additional interest income of $401,000 earned on Non-NFL events cash reserves offset by $187,000 of non-event specific other expenses.

Overall, the first quarter of FY 2026/27 Non-NFL event net revenue decreased by $1.9 million when compared to the same period in the prior year. Ticketed Non-NFL net revenue decreased by $1.4 million, and special event net revenue decreased by $246,000 due to fewer events held. Other operating income decreased by $255,000, while other operating expenses increased by $33,000 when compared to the prior year.

The increase is primarily related to promotions and retro-active merit increases for ManCo staff that charge time to the Non-NFL events.

10 Stadium Builder Licenses
The total principal value of currently active Stadium Builder Licenses (“SBLs”) is $561.0 million and, as of June 30, 2026, 96.1% of the total principal value of all SBLs sold (i.e., $538.8 million) had been collected.

SBLs that are purchased can be financed over 10 years. SBL holders that finance their purchase pay an annual interest rate of 8.5% and payments are due by March 1st each year. The majority of SBL holders make their payments on time. For those that do not pay on time, SBL service staff, working for Stadium Manager on the Stadium Authority’s behalf, contact the SBL holders and attempt to collect the full amounts owed. Ultimately, an SBL can be defaulted for non-payment. Once an SBL is defaulted, the SBL holder in default loses their right to buy season tickets as well as their priority rights to tickets to Non-NFL events, and forfeits any money they had invested in the SBL. Defaulted SBLs are then available for resale at full price.

When SBL holders do not purchase NFL season tickets, their SBL is not defaulted, however they lose exclusive rights to their seats and their seats may be sold to another SBL holder. This results in cases where a seat may have more than one SBL associated with it and why there are currently more active SBLs than there are available SBL seats.

If the original SBL holder decides to purchase season tickets in the future, they can relocate to a new seat in the same or higher price level, subject to availability. If the relocation results in a change in price level, they need to pay the difference between their original SBL and the new one. If they chose not to relocate, they must wait for their seat to be available again before they can purchase NFL season tickets.

There is a total of 67,435 currently active SBLs. This is a decrease of 324 from the total active SBLs at the end of the prior fiscal year (March 31, 2026). The decrease is primarily due to SBL defaults partially offset by the sale of new SBLs and the customer seat relocation program. The customer seat relocation program allows customers to trade in their SBLs in return for others in a different location as long as the total face value of the new seats is equal to or greater than the original seats.

During the current reporting period, 330 SBLs were sold for a total face value of $2.0 million. The customer seat relocation program resulted in an increase of $1.2 million to the SBL face value, while netting 86 more SBLs. There were also 740 SBLs defaulted during the quarter with a face value of $5.2 million.

Additional details regarding currently active SBLs are noted in Table 7. 11 Table 7

12 Santa Clara Stadium Authority Budget Status Reports
Operating Budget
With 25% of the fiscal year complete, total operating revenues for the first quarter of the 2026/27 Fiscal Year were $9.0 million representing 13% of the overall budget for revenues. The primary reasons that revenue is below 25% (par level through three months) is because Non-NFL event net revenue is recorded at the end of the fiscal year in accordance with Article 5 of the Stadium Management Agreement. Additionally, NFL ticket surcharge revenue is recorded in second quarter when the NFL season starts, and the first SBL proceeds are also received during that quarter. During the current reporting period, the Stadium Authority recognized $6.2 million in rent from StadCo, $1 million in interest, $1.7 million in Non-NFL ticket surcharge, and $133,000 in sponsorship revenue.

Total Operating expenses were $7.3 million, or 20% of the annual budget. Shared Stadium Manager expenses were 24% of the budget, or $3.6 million of the $14.8 million budgeted amount and SBL Sales and Service expenses were 25% of the budget or $617,000. The Stadium Authority pays for all utility costs from February 1st through July 31st and the tenant (StadCo) pays for utility costs from August 1st through January 31st (Tenant Season). Therefore, utility costs are 50% of the budget for the year, or $934,000.

The current period covers 50% (three out of the six months) that the Stadium Authority is responsible for utility costs. Lastly, Stadium Authority General and Administrative (G&A) costs were tracking below budget levels at $746,000 or 18% of the budget.

Operating Budget Status Report
For the Period Ending June 30, 2026 and 2025
Period Ending June 30, 2026 Period Ending June 30, 2025 14 Operating Budget – Recommended Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget.

On March 10, 2026, the Stadium Authority Board adopted the Santa Clara Stadium Authority FY 2026/27 Operating, Debt Service, and Capital Budget. The following budget adjustments are recommended based on FY 2026/27 projected actuals. 1) Buffet Costs: In FY 2026/27, the complimentary buffet cost due to StadCo is budgeted at $859,329 for the NFL season or $95,481 per NFL game. The Stadium Authority has the option to request StadCo to track buffet expenses and provide accounting records at the Stadium Authority’s expense. This fee is calculated at 5% of the annual buffet cost. The Stadium Authority has elected to utilize this service for FY 2026/27. Therefore, a budget amendment of $43,000 is needed to reflect the additional cost for the buffet accounting fee.
2) PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance: In FY 2026/27 $421,000 is budgeted to pay down the PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance based on a projection of what would be paid down in FY 2025/26. The actual amount paid in FY 2025/26 was slightly lower than projected leaving a remaining balance at the end of FY 2025/26 of $512,267.

Therefore, a budget amendment of $91,267 is needed to reflect the additional amount that is expected to be paid at the end of FY 2026/27, fully paying off the PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance.
3) Transfer to City General Fund from Excess Revenues: In FY 2026/27, a transfer of $4.5 million in excess revenues to the City’s General Fund is budgeted. Based on projected expenses resulting from the actions described above, $4.3 million is expected to be transferred to the City’s General Fund. Therefore, a budget amendment of $112,767 is needed to reflect the decreased payment to the General Fund.
4) Renovation/Demolition Reserve: In FY 2026/27, a transfer of $4.9 million in excess revenues to the Renovation/Demolition Reserve is budgeted. Based on projected expenses resulting from the actions described above, a budget amendment of $21,500 is needed to reflect the reduced transfer to the Renovation/Demolition Reserve.

16 Debt Service Budget
The Stadium Authority’s FY 2026/27 debt service revenue budget of $3.8 million represents anticipated contributions from the Community Facilities District (CFD). The CFD levies and collects a special hotel tax on hotel rooms within the CFD. All collections from the special CFD hotel taxes are contributed to Stadium Authority to pay down the CFD Advance. The CFD Advance is payable solely from amounts received by the Stadium Authority from the CFD. During the first quarter, $1.0 million was contributed by the CFD, or 26% of the annual budget.

Total Stadium Authority debt service expenses for the current reporting period were $11.8 million, or 56% of the budgeted amount. The debt service expenses for the CFD Advance and the Term A Loan were $1.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2026, the total outstanding amount of Stadium Authority debt had declined to $200.5 million. This is a reduction in principal of $9.2 million from the March 31, 2026 outstanding debt amount of $209.7 million.

24 CapEx Budget – Recommended Budget Adjustments
From time to time, budget adjustments may be necessary to align revenues or expenditures to actual or unexpected activity during the course of a fiscal year, known after the adoption of the Stadium Authority Budget. The budget amendment recommended in this report is for a CapEx project that requires a budget amendment due to unanticipated costs. 1) L2710: E-Bikes – This project funds the purchase of 3 E-Bikes. The manufacturer phased out production of the model that the budget was based on. The current production model and the only model available for purchase has an improved electrical system, including increased torque and battery life. Due to unanticipated cost associated with purchasing the new model, staff is requesting a budget amendment to increase the project budget by $2,000 from $18,000 to $20,000. 2) L2407: Plumbing–Boilers – This project addresses the general renewal and replacement of necessary plumbing equipment in the stadium, including, but not limited to, piping, fittings, vents, joints, switches, cleanouts, valves, drains, traps, primers, strainers, pumps, water heaters, interceptors, filters, and/or water softener systems. The project requires a budget amendment to cover additional project management costs related to the Plumbing - Boilers project. Therefore, staff is requesting a budget amendment to increase the Plumbing-Boilers project budget by $2,000.
3) L2714: ADA Platforms – This project will address the procurement and installation of platforms for the placement of additional accessible seating sections on the 300 level concourse behind the lower bowl seating sections. A study in consultation with a certified access specialist (CASp) will be performed as part of this project in order to evaluate the total amount of additional accessible seating that can be added, taking into account factors including ingress, egress, spacing, and path of travel. To keep the project on schedule, a budget amendment is required to accelerate project costs from FY 2027/28 and pull forward $200,000 from the total approved FY 2027/28 project cost of $1,500,000. These funds will support the necessary design and architectural work to proceed with the project.
4) L2715: Premium Areas – This project addresses refurbishing specified elements of premium club spaces at the stadium. These premium club areas provide hospitality to the highest paying SBL members and host a multitude of non-NFL catered events.

Lifecycle expectations for finishes in these areas are 10 years based on heavy usage. To keep the project on schedule, a budget amendment is required to accelerate project costs and pull forward $150,000 from the total approved FY 2027/28 project cost of $1,205,058. These funds will support the necessary design and architectural work to proceed with the project.
5) Stadium Warranty Related Construction – The Stadium Warranty Related Construction is anticipated to decrease by $350,000 due to the actions taken above.

A budget amendment is needed to reflect the decrease in the Stadium Warranty Related Construction from $1,528,000 to $1,178,000.
25 6) Ending Fund Balance: The Ending Fund Balance is anticipated to decrease by $4,000 due to the actions taken above. A budget amendment of $4,000 is needed to reflect the decrease in the Ending Fund Balance – Unrestricted from $342,497 to $338,497.

28 City of Santa Clara Net General Fund Impact
During the current reporting period there was a total of $1.3 million that was contributed by the Stadium Authority to the General Fund as shown in Table 15. This section of the report also provides information on General Fund revenue and expenditure impacts resulting from the stadium.

Table 15
Public Safety and Administrative Cost Reimbursement
As described in earlier sections of this report, costs incurred by the City on NFL and NonNFL events are tracked and billed to the Stadium Manager. Reimbursement is monitored and included in this report. In the current period, public safety costs incurred in support of Non-NFL events held at Levi’s® Stadium totaled $933. The reimbursements come from a combination of payments from the Stadium Manager and the offsite parking fees that were collected. The City has not received the reimbursements as of the date of this report.

The current balance of the Public Safety Costs (PSC) 2024 Outstanding Balance is $512,000 and is projected to be paid through excess revenues. It is currently estimated that the PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance will be paid off in the current year. See the Glossary for more information on this balance.

In addition to public safety costs, administrative costs are tracked and billed to the Stadium Authority. These include the cost of providing overall stadium management, financial, human resource, legal, and other services to the Stadium Authority. In FY 2026/27, a total of $648,000 of administrative staff costs were incurred by the General Fund, which have been reimbursed to the City.

As noted above, the City’s General Fund collected ground rent of $1.0 million. The City’s General Fund did not collect any Senior and Youth fees in the current period since there were no NFL games held. See the Glossary for more information on these revenues and how they are calculated.

Other Revenue Impacts
General Fund sales tax, property tax, and transient occupancy tax (TOT) collections have benefited from the direct and indirect economic activity related to stadium events.

Food and beverage concession sales and merchandise sales at Levi’s® Stadium are taxable, resulting in sales tax revenue for the City. The last quarter of sales tax collections from Levi’s® Stadium transactions generated $259,000 for the City’s General Fund. In addition to the direct sellers at the Stadium, other businesses in Santa Clara are benefiting from the influx of people coming to attend one or more events at Levi’s® Stadium, resulting in potentially more sales tax collections for the General Fund.

In accordance with State Law, StadCo must pay possessory interest property tax based on their lease of Levi’s® Stadium from the Stadium Authority. This revenue is collected by the county and placed into the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF).

Amounts remaining in the RPTTF after paying any enforceable obligations of the Successor Agency are distributed to taxing entities in the same proportion as secured property taxes. The City’s proportion is approximately 10%.

Many stadium events bring travelers to the region, resulting in hotel stays which generate TOT collections for the City’s General Fund. Although it is impossible to say exactly what portion of the City’s TOT collections is due to the stadium, it is clear that hotels both inside and outside the City have benefited, resulting in increases in TOT collections in Santa Clara and our neighboring cities.
30 Glossary
This section of the report provides details behind key terms that are used in the body of this report.

Discretionary Fund – This is funded by $2 of the base Non-NFL ticket surcharge and $3 of the FIFA ticket surcharge. The fund has been used to cover NFL public safety costs above the public safety cost threshold and other items at the Stadium Authority’s discretion. It is anticipated that the discretionary fund will continue to cover NFL public safety costs above the threshold. Stadium Authority may transfer up to half of the balance of the Discretionary Fund over $1.0 million from the Discretionary Fund to the City’s General Fund if (1) adequate provision has been made for the replacement of and upgrades to capital improvements contemplated under the Public Safety Plan and (2) an equal amount is transferred from the Discretionary Fund to Stadium Authority’s operating fund to be included as Stadium Authority Revenue.

Ground Lease – The Ground Lease Agreement has an initial term of 40 years commencing on the date of substantial completion which was July 31, 2014. The amount of annual base ground rent that is payable by the Stadium Authority to the City is noted in Table 16.
31 Table 16
Net Non-NFL Event Revenue – Net Non-NFL event revenue is remitted by Stadium Manager to the Stadium Authority on a yearly basis. This is done annually because the final reconciliation of the Non-NFL event revenues and expenses does not occur until after the conclusion of each fiscal year.

NFL Ticket Surcharge – The Amended and Restated Non-Relocation Agreement states that the Team will collect a 10% NFL ticket surcharge on the price of admission to all NFL games on behalf of Stadium Authority during the Surcharge Term which currently ends the last day of the 25th lease year or March 31, 2039

32 Non-NFL Event Ticket Surcharge – The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement requires that the promoter or sponsor of any Non-NFL event collect a NonNFL event ticket surcharge of $4 per ticket. The Lease Agreement sets aside one-half of the base Non-NFL event ticket surcharge for stadium operating and maintenance costs and one-half for discretionary expenses of the Stadium Authority. The First Amendment to Amended and Restated Lease Agreement increased the ticket surcharge to a minimum of $8 per ticket starting in FY 2025/26 a $1 escalator in FY 2028/29 and every four years thereafter on behalf of Stadium Authority. One-half of the $4 base surcharge that is paid to Stadium Authority covers general stadium operations and the other half funds the Stadium Authority Discretionary Fund. The additional proceeds exceeding the $4 base surcharge will be deposited to the Public Safety Cost Reserve to be used to pay public safety costs exceeding the threshold.

Offsite Parking Fees – Parking lot operators who wish to operate a parking lot for sports or entertainment venues are required to go through the City’s permitting process. If approved, per the City’s Municipal Fee Schedule, these operators remit an offsite parking fee for each car that is parked for sports or entertainment events. This fee is designed to recover the public safety costs associated with these permitted offsite parking lots.

Therefore, when invoicing for NFL or Non-NFL public safety costs for a particular event held at Levi’s® Stadium, the offsite parking fee that is collected for said event partly offsets the total public safety costs owed for that event. In the City’s FY 2026/27 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) the offsite parking fee is $6.00. 33 Performance-Based Rent – Stadium Authority pays the City performance-based rent on top of the fixed ground rent. After the completion of the fiscal year, net income from NonNFL events are calculated and reported to Stadium Authority by Stadium Manager. With the finalized Non-NFL events report, Stadium Authority calculates the performance-based rent to be remitted to the City during July following the Stadium Authority’s fiscal yearend. The basic calculation for the performance-based rent is 50% of the net income from Non-NFL events for any given lease year less the sum of Performance-Based Rent Credits. The Performance-Based Rent Credits include (1) 50% of the fixed ground rent for the current lease year, (2) the amount, if any, that the Public Safety Costs exceed the Public Safety Cost Threshold for the current lease year, (3) following the Tax Allocation Termination Date, the amount of Received Possessory Interest Tax (PIT), and (4) the amount of any credit for Disproportionate Taxes for the current lease year. The projected Performance Based Rent is noted in Table 17.

Table 17
Public Safety Costs – For each NFL and Non-NFL event held at Levi’s® Stadium, a public safety plan is developed and implemented. Multiple City departments provide staffing, materials, and supplies to support the public safety plan. Services are provided through a combination of City staff, contracts with other agencies (e.g. California Highway Patrol, County Sheriff’s Office, and City of Sunnyvale) and some vendor provided services.

The Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement section 7.5 states that the tenant is responsible for reimbursing the City for the public safety costs attributed to NFL events at Levi’s® Stadium. Additionally, Article 5 of the Stadium Management Agreement notes that the Stadium Manager is responsible for paying Non-NFL event expenses on behalf of the Stadium Authority. Therefore, the cost of providing public safety services are tracked through the City’s financial system and invoices are sent to the Stadium Manager.

All of these costs are reimbursed to the City of Santa Clara.

Instead, these costs amounting to approximately $14.8 million were defined as “PSC 2024 Outstanding Balance” which would be paid from a legal contingency reserve and future excess revenues until paid off. It is estimated that the balance will be paid off in the current year.

Table 18
Public Safety Costs Over Threshold: As of the 2024/25 lease year, the public safety cost threshold will equal $360,000 per game. For lease year 2025/26 and each lease year thereafter the threshold will increase by 4%. Public safety costs incurred above the annual threshold will be repaid over time with additional proceeds from the Non-NFL event ticket surcharge and the discretionary fund. The threshold for the current lease year is $389,376 per game.

Senior and Youth Program Fees – During the lease terms, StadCo collects City of Santa Clara Senior and Youth Program Fees on behalf of Stadium Authority. As of FY 2024/25 the fee was $0.40 per NFL game ticket up to a maximum of $300,000 per lease year.

Every ten lease years the fee will increase by $0.05 in conjunction with the maximum amount increasing by an additional $50,000.

35 Stadium Management Fee – The Stadium Manager receives an annual base management fee to manage Levi’s® Stadium. The fee was $400,000 in the first lease year and increases by 3% annually as detailed in the table below. This annual base management fee is split 50/50 between StadCo and the Stadium Authority since the Stadium Manager manages the stadium year-round for both entities. In addition to the base management fee, the Stadium Manager also receives a stadium marketing and booking fee (incentive fee) which is based on a percentage of the amount that the net income from Non-NFL events exceeds the marketing and booking fee benchmark. The marketing and booking fee benchmark was $5 million in the first lease year and also increases by 3% annually as detailed in the table below. The annual stadium management fee for each of the first ten lease years are noted in the Table 19 below.

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Staff Presentation and Solicitation of Input on a Comprehensive Approach to Updating City Policies Addressing New Data Center Development [Staff’s Response to Councilmember Jain’s 030 Request, Approved by Council, Regarding New Policy Development on Data Center Water Usage and Demand Side Grid Support Participation]

BACKGROUND
030 Request and Comprehensive Approach
At the August 18, 2026 City Council meeting, Councilmember Jain introduced a Council Policy 030 request to create a policy that limits the type and quantity of water used by data centers and new data centers in Santa Clara (Attachment 1). He also indicated interest in information on Demand Side Grid Management participation by the CAISO or the State of California. City Council approved a motion to agendize this 030 request for discussion at a future meeting.

As discussed later in this report, Silicon Valley Power (SVP) has not accepted applications for new data centers since 2023. During this time, when no new data center load applications have been accepted, the City has been working to improve the policies and approval processes for any future planning applications or electrical load requests from data centers. Beginning August 12, 2026, staff convened an interdepartmental working group to analyze all aspects of existing City standards and practices regarding data center development and operations. The ultimate goal of this effort is to develop a clear understanding of existing data center policies and procedures, identify areas for improvement, and develop a process for implementing such improvements. In addition to enhancing the City’s regulations, the policy improvements would also include ways to increase community benefits from data center projects. This work is anticipated to be completed towards the end of 2027.

This report and the staff presentation at the October 6 City Council meeting will articulate how staff plans to address Councilmember Jain’s 030 request, which primarily focused on data center water usage, as part of the ongoing comprehensive initiative to assess and enhance data center regulations.

Data Center Development History
Large industrial businesses, many of which are large electric customers, have been part of Santa Clara’s business makeup since the 1970s. Industrial businesses have been drawn to Santa Clara due to having a municipal electric utility, Silicon Valley Power (SVP), with reliability and competitive rates. The world’s first modern data center was built in Santa Clara in 1996, and data center growth was steady through the 2000s, as internet and cloud-computing use expanded. Today the City has 56 stand-alone data centers active or under construction and two approved but not yet built. An additional 8 pipeline data center projects have completed System Impact Studies and are part of City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 8 Printed on 10/2/2026

SVP’s system planning process.

Much of the conversation across the country regarding data centers relates to large data center proposals, where individual data center campuses are requiring anywhere from 500MW to 4 gigawatts (4,000MW) of electricity and constrain local water resources. It is important distinction that Santa Clara has no data centers with an electric load of 100MW or greater. Consequently, the electrical demand of our data centers is substantially smaller than the large campuses proposed or under development elsewhere in the United States. Additionally, Santa Clara has an extensive recycled water system that limits the need for potable/drinking water in the cooling systems of modern data centers.

Based on SVP research and analysis, approximately 71% of the citywide data-center electric load is tied to broader digital economy uses, such as colocation, cloud infrastructure, enterprise IT, softwareas-a-service, telecommunications, semiconductor research and development, high-performance computing, and disaster recovery, with the balance of the 29% of citywide data-center electric load tied to AI training and inference, which includes the operation of trained AI models to generate responses and other outputs. Of the 29% that are focused on AI, 13% relate to AI inference, which has been the subject of recent concerns related to autonomous AI agents that involve advanced artificial intelligence systems designed to execute multi-step workflows, make decisions, and use tools independently to achieve a specific goal without constant human intervention.

Attachment 2 provides a graphical illustration of the estimated primary purposes of computing workload in Santa Clara data centers.

Status of New Data Center Electric Service Requests
The City has historically planned for and reliably served electric load growth. With the rapid growth in large electric load requests, beginning around 2020, SVP recognized that electrical requests from data centers exceeded the capacity available from then-existing infrastructure and planned upgrades.

To accommodate additional load requests, SVP intensified its coordination with the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) on transmission expansion into Santa Clara.

Key projects are currently anticipated to be completed between 2028 and 2030, subject to permitting, procurement, construction, and CAISO scheduling requirements. SVP has approximately $450+ million in electric infrastructure projects underway and is coordinating with CAISO on related infrastructure projects to meet the increased demands on the SVP system. The infrastructure projects will meet existing customer commitments, support reliable service, and position the Santa Clara electric system to serve increased electrical demand from industrial, as well as residential sectors, as home electrification and electric vehicle ownership have also increased. These major system improvements are on track to be completed by 2030, with specific projects coming on-line beginning in 2028. SVP has not accepted applications for new data centers since 2023. Communications were sent to existing and prospective customers informing them of this decision due to power constraints, see the attached letter (Attachment 3).

Load development fees and rates are charged to support infrastructure, where all users pay their proportional share. SVP residential rates continue to be among the lowest in the State of California, are slightly lower than the national average, and are significantly lower than PG&E. Attachment 4 is a chart sharing a comparison of residential rates.

Current Regulations
Data centers are regulated by the City’s Climate Action Plan, General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other sections of the City Code. Santa Clara has enacted policies requiring data centers to build recycled water infrastructure, locate solely in industrial areas, and address building aesthetics and design.

Climate Action Plan
The City adopted its Climate Action Plan (CAP) in June 2022, setting aggressive emissions reduction targets and strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. The CAP establishes a near-term target of achieving 40% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions by 2030 and an interim target of 80% GHG reductions by 2035.

As it relates to data centers, the CAP requires all new data centers to operate on 100% carbonneutral energy, with offsets as needed. This requirement applies to data centers with planning application approvals as of December 2022. To date, there has been one new data center for which the CAP requirement is applicable, and that data center has demonstrated compliance through the obtainment of a Renewable Energy Certificate.

Zoning Code: Current Siting and Aesthetics Standards
The City’s 2010-2035 General Plan provides broad policy direction for the siting of data centers.

Policy 5.5.1-P9 under Discretionary Use Goals and Policies, along with Policies 5.3.5-P12 and 5.3.5- P14 under Office and Industrial Land Use Goals and Policies, support the location of data centers within industrial land use districts and establish expectations for compatibility with surrounding uses.

The former zoning code aligned with the General Plan and allowed data centers in industrial zoning districts. In recent years, as applications for new data centers increased and data centers became more land intensive, staff and the Planning Commission evaluated the need for more robust development standards. In 2024, the City adopted a new zoning code that introduced formal definitions for data centers and established updated development standards covering aesthetics, such as addressing primary building façades, shielded exterior lighting, and structural noise-reduction measures for exterior cooling fans and related equipment. Transitional standards also apply to address building scale when buildings abut residential zoning districts, including the use of 45-degree daylight planes.

Also, as indicated in the Zoning Code, data centers are a conditionally permitted use in the following Zoning Districts: Low-Intensity Office/Research and Development (LO-RD), Light Industrial (LI), and Heavy Industrial (HI) zoning districts. These districts typically also allow industrial, warehouse, and office uses. In the High-Intensity Office/Research and Development (HO-RD ) district, only ancillary data centers are allowed. An “ancillary” data center is a facility for private use by an industrial user, and subordinate to the primary use. Ancillary Data Centers are limited to 20% of the building square footage on a site and a maximum power draw of 9MW. As of 2024, the new Zoning Code requires stand-alone data centers to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) from the Planning Commission and an Architectural Review Permit through a Development Review Hearing.

In 2025, the City created additional regulations to conditionally permit data centers for the Related Santa Clara project’s northeast area (parcels 1 and 2), which is across the street from the project’s city center. The additional regulations for the Related Santa Clara project also increased aesthetic and locational development standards for data centers and electrical substations.

Water Usage
Water use from data centers account for approximately 6% of the City’s total potable water use. More than half of the data centers in the City are connected to and use recycled water. Collectively, data centers account for approximately 26% of the City’s total recycled water use.

City Code §13.15.160 requires development projects, including data centers, to use recycled water for approved uses, where it is available. The ordinance was adopted by the City Council in October 1997 and was more actively implemented during the 2012 drought. The City has continued to implement this requirement since that time.

Implementation of this code included requiring new proposed data centers to extend the City’s recycled water system to serve their site. These extensions to the City’s recycled water system were designed and constructed at the data centers’ sole expense. The City conducted design review and construction inspections as part of the permitting process.

Data center use of recycled water has increased in recent years. Data centers constructed within the past 10 years, use approximately 55% recycled water and 45% potable water, compared with 48% recycled water and 52% potable water use for data centers older than 10 years. More recently constructed data centers commonly incorporate water-efficient cooling technologies, such as closedloop, turbo air-chilled systems, which can reduce their overall water demand.

Coordinating City Review
As shared in the Zoning Code section above, stand-alone data centers are conditionally permitted in certain Industrial Zoning Districts and reviewed under the City’s discretionary approval through the application for a CUP. The City's internal Project Completeness Committee (PCC) reviews the conditional use permit application and provides interdepartmental review for all development projects.

The PCC provides feedback on data center proposals, resolves issues, and provides conditions of approval. CUPs are approved by the Planning Commission with appeals heard by the City Council.

In recent years, Planning and SVP have coordinated more closely to ensure large electric load customers understand that land use entitlements do not guarantee electric power. As part of the conditional use permit process, SVP now recommends project-specific conditions of approval which include, among other things, the requirement that a project undergo a system impact study if the load requested exceeded 2.5 MW. The system impact studies evaluate whether and when the requested load can be accommodated and identifies any electric-system improvements that may be needed, such as substation or other distribution or transmission upgrades.

Data Center Financial Benefits
Santa Clara also receives significant financial contributions from data centers through the Electric General Fund Transfer, other taxes, and through payment of the City’s affordable housing impact fee.

General Fund Contributions
Data centers provide contributions to the City of Santa Clara’s General Fund, primarily through:
· Electric General Fund Transfer (Electric GFT)
· Property Tax
City of Santa Clara Page 4 of 8 Printed on 10/2/2026
powered by Legistar™
26-1037 Agenda Date: 10/6/2026
· Sales and Use Tax
· Business License Tax
Electric GFT (5% of gross receipts) - The Electric GFT has been in place since 1951 and includes a transfer of 5% of SVP utility revenues to the City’s General Fund. The revenues from this transfer are unrestricted and are used to support City services such as police, fire, street repairs, sidewalks, parks, libraries, and senior services. In November 2022, voters approved Measure G, affirming the continued transfer of 5% of utility revenues to the City’s General Fund. The transfer to the General Fund in FY 2025/26 related to data centers is approximately $23.2 million, which is 52% of the total $45 million Electric GFT in FY 2025/26.

Property Tax - Property taxes are based on the assessments of the value of secured and unsecured assets. Secured assets are walls, ceilings, floors, etc. of a building, including installed equipment “fixtures” which could be property. Unsecured assets are typically moveable equipment. Data centers as a property class are unique as they have high-value unsecured assets with the number of expensive servers and infrastructure installed.

While the total assessed value of data centers is significant, unlike the Electric GFT, which is provided solely to the City of Santa Clara, the City receives only a fraction of what is collected in property taxes. The City receives 10.17% of total property tax collected; however, other agencies, notably the County of Santa Clara and School Districts, receive a larger share of property tax. For FY2025/26, data centers in the City are contributing $7.5 million in property tax to the City’s General Fund, while contributing greater amounts to the County of Santa Clara and School Districts based on their higher proportionate share of property tax.

Sales and Use Tax - Sales tax is based on the value of purchases made at data centers, and use tax is based on the value of purchases that are utilized at data centers. Similar to property tax, the City shares sales and use tax revenue. The majority of sales and use tax revenue goes to the State of California. Of the 9.75% sales tax collected, the City of Santa Clara receives 10.26% of the total tax (for example, the City receives approximately $1.00 out of the total $9.75 collected from a $100 sale transaction). In FY 2025/26, sales and use tax revenue to the City of Santa Clara from data center related purchases contributed an estimated $4.5 million to the City’s General Fund.

Sales and use tax revenue can vary significantly from year to year depending on economic activity.

The above figures do not include sales tax from companies located in Santa Clara that sell products to support data centers within Santa Clara.

Business License Tax - Data centers, as all businesses in Santa Clara, are subject to the City’s Business License Tax, which is at a rate of $47.37 per employee. This total has not yet been compiled for all data centers in the City but will not be significant, given that data centers have a relatively lower on-site employee count than office uses.

Total Contributions to the General Fund - In FY 2025/26, it is estimated that data centers in the City contributed a total of $35.2 million to the City of Santa Clara’s General Fund from the estimated Electric GFT, property tax, and sales and use tax. This accounts for approximately 9% of the City’s FY 2025/26 General Fund resources, which funds core public services. For reference, the $35.2 million that is received from data centers is roughly the same as the combined budget of the City’s Library and Parks & Recreation Department budgets (at $37M for both for FY 2025/26).

Affordable Housing Impact Fee
Since the City’s Affordable Housing Ordinance took effect in 2019, new data centers have paid $3.9 million toward affordable housing. Three data centers in the pipeline are anticipated to provide $1.75 million for affordable housing.

DISCUSSION
While the City has enacted several policies and practices to improve data center development over the past decade, particularly in recent years, policy improvements are still needed to ensure the highest-quality development and benefits to the City. Staff plans to return to Council with a comprehensive approach to updating policies regarding water, as well as siting and aesthetic requirements for new data centers. Also under consideration is the evaluation of a community benefits program, formalization of a coordinated city review process, potential participation in SVP’s on-demand grid support programs, and investigation of emerging sustainable technologies and approaches.

Water Standards
Staff is currently implementing the requirement for recycled water system extensions for new data center projects using qualitative factors, as no quantitative standards are presently included in the City Code. To promote consistent, transparent implementation, staff is evaluating the establishment of quantitative standards for when a project must extend the recycled water system.

Potential standards would consider the project’s proximity to existing recycled water infrastructure, the estimated extension cost relative to total project cost, and the project’s estimated annual water use.

Staff will also evaluate water-use efficiency standards that encourage the use of modern, lower-water -use cooling technologies.

Siting Standards
Based on feedback received during the entitlement review of recent data center proposals, particularly regarding noise and visual impacts, the City will continue to evaluate standards for the design, development, and siting of future facilities. Currently, aside from a 25-foot rear or side yard setback, there are no distance requirements separating data centers from residential uses. Staff’s work program includes evaluating distance separation standards between data centers and residential uses.

Previously, planning application requirements to the City were amended to include a robust data center-specific application checklist to ensure all required information is submitted and thoroughly evaluated by all City departments during the Project Completeness Committee process. The checklist now includes items such as acoustic report, cooling technology description, water demand analysis, community benefits, and substation details. This supplemental information and any additional changes will enable staff to apply a more consistent and comprehensive approach when reviewing projects.

Community Benefits Program
Santa Clara provides a unique physical and business environment, which has benefited data center City of Santa Clara Page 6 of 8 Printed on 10/2/2026

development. The City-owned electric utility, SVP, has reliable and competitive electrical rates, which are among the lowest in the State and consistently lower than other Bay Area electric utilities. The City of Santa Clara also has extensive fiber infrastructure, proximity to major technology companies, and proximity to other data centers within the City, which reduces latency, maximizing data center responsiveness speed and efficacy.

Recently, data center companies have been supporting Santa Clara events and programs and have built stronger community connections with the City, school districts, and nonprofits. This increased participation has been valuable.

In addition to the current economic benefits data centers provide, staff will evaluate additional ways that data centers can provide benefits to the Santa Clara community.

Formalizing Coordination of City Review Processes
Staff will evaluate strategies to formalize coordination between City planning reviews and SVP power allocation processes. A more coordinated process would ensure that applicants receive early and consistent information regarding land use requirements, anticipated electric load, power availability and timing, infrastructure requirements, water demand, and other City standards based on the information available at each stage of review.

Demand Side Grid Support
Councilmember Jain’s 030 requested information on Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) Program.

DSGS is a State California Energy Commission (CEC) administered program that offers incentives to electric customers providing load reduction and backup generation to support the state’s electrical grid during extreme events. The program’s purpose is to reduce the risk of blackouts. Previously, the CEC did not allow data centers or any large load using backup generators to participate. Under the new DSGS guidelines, data centers were allowed to participate to help the grid by using their backup generators. However, in the most recent legislative session, funding for the program was not approved, so its future is uncertain. Staff will continue to monitor this issue.

Innovations in Sustainability
Santa Clara’s Climate Action Plan includes aggressive targets for GHG reductions, and data center operations are part of the City’s GHG footprint. Staff will investigate emerging technologies and approaches to construct and operate data centers more sustainably. Specifically, it would be helpful to explore technologies that reduce dependence on diesel emergency backup generators, as well as approaches to data center heat capture, whereby excess heat is delivered to nearby buildings for space heating, domestic hot water, or industrial processes. Staff will provide updates on these and possibly other technologies to assess applicability to Santa Clara.

As noted above, the comprehensive work program to analyze all aspects of existing City standards and practices regarding data center development and operations is anticipated to be completed towards the end of 2027, inclusive of community engagement and the final policy determinations by the City Council.

WRITTEN REQUEST
I, , hereby request that the following item
be placed on the City of Santa Clara Council and Authorities Concurrent meeting agenda:

Reference: Council Policy 030 – Adding an Item on the Agenda Resolution No. 23-9278
The City of Santa Clara is home to 58 data centers which is only limited by the lack of transmission to supply power current and future data centers. SVP is investing heavily to expand the transmission and distribution to support almost double the data center load.

Recently there has been a lot of opposition Nationwide to building data centers primarily because of Climate impacts and water usage. Some cities have even passed moratoriums on the construction of data centers (Seattle, Denver, Madison, Oklahoma City) In the last update of Santa Clara's Climate Action Plan, the Council mandated that all new data centers be carbon neutral with the ability to purchase offsets or RECs. There was little or no opposition by the data centers and it addressed the climate change impacts from CO2 emissions for the electricity being consumed.

Many of the cities that passed moratoriums were deeply concerned about water usage by data centers for cooling. Many of the newer data centers in Santa Clara have minimal water consumption and serve as models for data centers nationwide. However, Santa Clara does not have an official policy limiting water use by data centers.

I hereby request that Santa Clara create a policy which limits the type of water used by data centers and the quantity of water used by future data centers. There should also be a discussion regarding participation in any future DSGS (Demand Side Grid Support) program by the CAISO or State of California.

For reference, the 2024 EIR for the 2805 Bowers Data Center states: "The BDC could require water when outside air temperatures approach design (89 degrees Fahrenheit) to augment its adiabatic cooling system using evaporative pads on the rooftop air-cooled chillers. The data center would be designed to use up to 0.5 acre-feet per year (AFY) of recycled water via the proposed recycled water pipeline extension, and a potable water connection would be provided as a back-up source to the recycled water system in the interim period." By comparison, A typical single family residence uses 0.3 to 0.5 acre feet of water per year so this 72 MW data center uses less than 2 families of water for cooling.

Memo: All Developers
Subject: Silicon Valley Power (SVP) Capacity Constraints for New Data Center Projects The City of Santa Clara currently has 13 data centers that are entitled or under construction, seven data centers that have completed System Impact Studies, and additional data centers that have expressed interest in developing. With the currently entitled and under construction projects, SVP will need to almost double in size to provide enough power capacity. Due to near-term limitations on both the SVP city-wide electric system and the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) controlled transmission electric grid, SVP cannot accommodate new data center project capacity requests or existing data center expansion requests. This means SVP will not process any additional System Impact Studies or any connection requests for new data center projects or request to expand at existing data centers As you know, data centers require a considerable amount of energy to operate which requires significant capacity from the SVP and CAISO infrastructure. As noted above, the City of Santa Clara has multiple data center projects with entitlements and under construction. Per our current modeling, these existing projects have reserved all the upgraded capacity that is being created through the construction of the CAISO High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission line project and SVP’s internal system expansion projects. These projects are slated to come on-line in 2028/2029 timeframe. Until these projects are further along, and their construction schedules better defined, it is unknown when SVP will be able to serve additional unentitled data center projects or expansion of existing data centers. However, SVP can continue to serve any other land use proposals for these properties that are not as energy intensive, and these should follow the standard City of Santa Clara Development process.

SVP and the CAISO have been working to identify additional electric and transmission system improvements to accommodate future growth. SVP has identified approximately half a billion dollars of local projects to accommodate future growth and continues to work with the CAISO to facilitate additional transmission capacity. SVP pledges to keep communication open with our customers about further developments and schedules as discussions with our City Council and CAISO move forward. SVP continues to evaluate historical parcel usage for load requests. Any projects that require a 12kV service connection will still need to be studied for deliverability.

The Silicon Valley Power Quarterly Report presented to Council on October 10th, 2023, provides additional information, and we encourage you to watch the meeting and review the presentation for more details. In addition, SVP continues to explore creative ideas to manage this constraint and continues to be open to partner with customers on creative solutions.

Thank you,

REPORT TO COUNCIL

SUBJECT
Action on a Council Written Request (Council Policy 030) Submitted by Councilmember Hardy to Place an Item on a Future Agenda for Staff to Provide an Update to Council and the Public on the Entitlement and Power Allocation Processes for New Large Electrical Load Uses, Including Data Centers, within 30 Days, with Option of Moratorium on New Stand Alone Data Centers

BACKGROUND
Council Policy 030 (Adding an Item on the Agenda) sets forth the procedure for written petitions. A member of the Council may submit a written request for inclusion of an item on a future City Council agenda. Prior to submitting a Council Item Request form, the Member shall discuss the proposed request with the City Manager (and/or the City Attorney, as appropriate), If City staff’s response does not satisfy the Member’s request, the Member may submit the Council Item Request form for placement on a future City Council agenda. Once the City Clerk’s Office receives the Council Item Request form, it should immediately be forwarded to the City Manager for placement on an agenda, if possible, within two (2) Council meetings after original receipt of the original request by the City Clerk’s Office.

DISCUSSION
On September 15, 2026, the City Clerk’s Office received a Council Written Request submitted by Councilmember Hardy requesting that an item be placed on a future meeting agenda requesting that staff provide City Council and the public with a status update on the entitlement and power allocation processes for new large electrical load uses, within 30 days.

As the community that owns and operates its own electrical utility, Santa Clara is uniquely affected by the growth of these large loads. It’s important that the community understand how large electrical load users and date centers impact our local community.

As a reminder, this item is for purposes of discussing whether the Council wishes to agendize this matter on a future Council agenda for a report or action. It is not for the purpose 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 City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 2 Printed on 10/2/2026
