Santa Clara Boards and Commissions · 03-30-2026 Governance and Ethics Committee Meeting - Mar 30, 2026 · 31 Mar 2026 meeting

We always say, commissions are our ears and eyes, and we don't even, we used to have meetings with them, we stopped doing that anymore, and so

that would be really beneficial.

As a focus point, we tell them, hey, give us your two priorities or three or one priority, whatever we want to decide, give us those priorities, depending on irrespective of budget, irrespective, at least if they give a priority, which is lot of budgetary constraints, at least we know that what the community needs and we can plan it long-term, that yes, this is a priority, but we can't do in next one year or two year because of budgetary constraints.

But in the back of the head,

Council knows that this was a priority and how we can make it happen down the line.

And I know it's a long process.

I remember in 2019,

retreat priority session, I brought forward two items, like one was the business license tax and free shuttle.

I know it came to fruition way later and somebody else took credit for those things who opposed that thing at that time, but it can take some time, but it will happen.

Like if we have a priority set or a discussion of the priority on those matters.

Those are my comments.

Thank you.

I prefer the same thing, hybrid method.

Majority can be there, but one priority from there.

Yeah, it's a good idea.

And I would like to learn more like, you know, Fremont, Sunnyvale and Palo Alto, I think they're doing the retreat.

So I have a little bit more idea of what they do, how they, how their process of retreats.

Thank you.

So my comments on the surveys is,

when we pick up a consultant, like whatever concerns we have today, like resident raised some concerns, like we have to be very specific with our consultant that we need to pick up demographics of our city basically.
