Members of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority, Sports 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 the 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.
Welcome and thank you for your participation. For those folks... joining us this evening in a capacity as a registered lobbyist, we ask you to please identify yourself as such and disclose the clients and or organizations that you represent. This is pursuant to city code section 2.155.110. Thank you.
Thank you, so good evening everyone and welcome to today's meeting. The Council's back in person and we're conducting our meeting in a hybrid manner. The public is welcome to attend in person and the Council continues to use the Zoom feature to allow participation from the safety of 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'd like to speak on an agenda item, 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.
As a friendly reminder, members of the public have two minutes to speak on an agenda item. Prior to each agenda item, staff will lower your hand to ensure that members of the public are seeking to speak on the appropriate item. So we'll move now to the special meeting agenda. We're gonna take one item out of order this evening because we want our public hearing on the proposed Stadium Authority budget to start at 7 p.m. So we're going to move up. Drum roll, please. We're moving up Silicon Valley Power by annual update. And we'll do that after the consent calendar. So the consent calendar is approved with one motion unless someone pulls an item for discussion. Is there any discussion on the consent calendar, Stadium Authority consent calendar items?
If not, a motion, please.
I'd like to make a motion to approve the consent calendar. Second.
So we have a motion and a second on that. Any discussion on that? Any member of the public want to pull an item on the consent calendar for discussion? Seeing none, city clerk, stadium authority clerk, when you're ready, please register your vote. And that passes unanimously, thank you. All right, we're gonna move on to our update. Silicon Valley Power biannual update. City Manager.
Thank you, Mayor Gilmour, members of the council, members of the public. We have our biannual update from Silicon Valley Power. As a reminder, we are making a slight adjustment this year. Instead of having quarterly updates during your regular meetings, we are planning two biannual updates at a special meeting to allow you and the public a little bit more time to delve in to the Silicon Valley Power update. As you know, Silicon Valley Power is our electric utility that is 127 years old. and has operating sales of over $557 million a year. And we will have the update provided by Manuel Pineda, our Chief Electric Utility Officer.
