mayor Gilmore And then I'll read the statement of Behavioral Standards I 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 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.

How does the council welcome participants and open the meeting?

Ellen Kamei 0:49
Welcome and thank you for your participation.
Lisa Gillmor 0:52
Thank you. Now we're down to public comment. Do we have any member of the public that would like to comment on our closed session item?

Can the public comment on the closed‑session item?

Lisa Gillmor 1:01
I don't see anyone here in chambers. Do we have anyone online? Assistant city clerk? We have one person on line, but there's no hand up.

What closed‑session item is being reviewed for the city manager’s performance?

Lisa Gillmor 1:08
No hand up. OK. City attorney, would you like to read the item?
Suds Jain 1:12
Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor.

When and how does the council adjourn to closed session?

Suds Jain 1:14
Tonight, one item for closed session, public employee performance evaluation for the city manager. As you know, I will not be attending the body of that meeting to allow for personnel confidential discussions, but am available, Madam Mayor, if the group needs me on any legal issues that might arise.
Lisa Gillmor 1:32
Thank you very much. We are now going to adjourn to closed session. We're assuming there's gonna be no reportable action tonight, so you won't see us back, thank you.
