Mayor Gilmour 12:33

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Santa Clara City Council Stadium Authority Concurrent Meeting. Could you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and remain standing for our Statement of Values? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. As we gather, we humbly seek blessings upon this meeting. May we act with strength, courage and will to perform our obligations and duties to our people with justice to all. Let us seek wisdom so that we may act in the best interest of our people, our neighbors and our country. All this we ask so we may serve our community with fairness and respect, putting their needs before all.

The AB 23 announcement, members of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, Sports and Open Space Authority, and Housing Authority are entitled to receive $30 for each attended meeting. Statement of behavioral standards. The City of Santa Clara has adopted a code of ethics and values and behavioral standards for public meetings to promote and maintain the highest levels of conduct. This includes mutual respect, robust discussion, and allowing city business to be done in an efficient and consistent manner. Please note that as a presiding officer, the mayor's and chair's direction in matters of process and decorum should be followed and that use of the gavel indicates all conversations must conclude and everyone in attendance should come to order and attention.

City Clerk / Meeting Procedure Staff (Emily?) 15:22

Welcome and thank you for your participation. For those attending this evening in the capacity of a registered lobbyist, we ask you to please identify yourself as such and disclose clients and organizations that you represent. This is pursuant to City Code Section 2.155.110. Thank you.

Mayor Gilmour 15:41

Thank you, so good evening everyone. For today's meeting, the council's back in session in person and is conducting its meeting in a hybrid manner. The public is welcome to attend in person and the city continues to use the Zoom feature to allow participation from your home or office. Members of the public can still join via the link and or call into the Zoom meeting phone number shown on the screen now. If you would like to speak on an agenda item or during public presentations, please raise your hand on the Zoom application or press star nine on your phone. Please only raise your hand while the item you're seeking to speak on is presented. Staff will enter your name or the last four digits of your phone number and I will call on you to speak.

Mayor Gilmour 16:28

As a friendly reminder, members of the public have two minutes to speak on an agenda item and three minutes on public presentations, and those are reserved for topics not on the agenda. Prior to each agenda item, staff will lower your hand to ensure that members of the public are seeking to speak on the appropriate agenda item, so we'll now move on to the council agenda. But before we move any further, I have a statement I would like to make because of all the events that were happening in Santa Clara over this last week, and I think maybe some of you heard about them.
