What is discussed at the start of the meeting, including the call to order and quorum confirmation?
Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the joint meeting of the Santa Clara City Council and Stadium Authority Board. I'd like to call the meeting to order. Confirmation of a quorum, assistant city clerk?
Confirm a quorum, Madam Mayor.
All right, we have one item on the agenda, which is public employee performance evaluation pursuant to government code 54957B1, title city attorney. And I know I'm supposed to say something else, city attorney? Madam Mayor, yeah, I just wanted to note for the record that we'll be joined in that by Dan Keene, the city's contract performance facilitator. That's what it was. Thank you. And also wanted to note that should any legal assistance be needed, Sue Reuter is on standby to be summoned in and to assist you. Thank you very much.
How does the council handle the closed‑session item and public comments before adjourning the closed session?
Is there any member of the public that would like to make a comment on this closed session item? Do we have anyone on line, Ben?
Madam Mayor, there are no requests to speak.
Thank you very much. We will adjourn the closed session. We will be back at 7 p.m. for open session. Thank you.
Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Santa Clara City Council Stadium Authority. Can you turn that off, please? Board, I'd like to call this meeting to order. Could you please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and remain standing for a 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 we may act in the best interest of our people, our neighbours, and our country.
All this we ask so we may serve our community with fairness and respect, putting their needs before all. Thank you, please be seated. Roll call, Assistant City Clerk.
