Santa Clara City Council · City Council and Authorities Concurrent on 2025-12-16 5:30 PM - Dec 16, 2025 · 16 Dec 2025 meeting

Our meetings have gone so late that I did not we have not given our report from when we went to the National League of Cities and the week before Thanksgiving. podcast-host

So um both Councilmember Park and I were there and a lot of the discussions centered around uh cities concerned about data centers and in speaking with many of them. podcast-host

They were really confused and didn't realize that you could put an impact fee for the infrastructure. podcast-host

And this is what these cities were not doing that or even considering it. podcast-host

And podcast-host

I explained to a bunch of them that they should and must. podcast-host

So in that way I think we were helpful. podcast-host

Also, there was a lot of talk about water usage, um, electric usage, and uh cities making decisions for housing uh podcast-host

Ten series. podcast-host

Which was very interesting. podcast-host

And um and then we got I got to take a few people on a tour of podcast-host

Temple Square, because that's where I was married. podcast-host

So I got to do that on the Friday night, and that was uh individuals from Sunnyvale and from Mountain View that I took around. podcast-host

But for the most part, the most important thing I did was to take the tour up to the Olympic village. podcast-host

And they took us up there and explained a lot of why they were able to make the winter Olympics profitable and continuous. podcast-host

And it really came down to being careful about the infrastructure and making it something that could last, and then having a plan for how it was to be used afterwards, and using that surplus very carefully to keep the children's programs going, and mostly most of their cost is for transportation to get. podcast-host

them up to that area. podcast-host

I also got to sit in a bobsled and there is no way I'm m getting in one if it's moving. podcast-host

That is was terrifying. podcast-host

But it was very interesting to see what they had done and it it helped me to un and they talked about the security as well. podcast-host
