Legislative Public Meetings

User Guide

Welcome to the City of Santa Clara's Public Meeting Information Center. This site provides quick and easy online access to City Council and Authorities, Stadium Authority, Committees, Board and Commissions meeting agendas, minutes and video/audio recordings from March 2018 to present.

Santa Clara is a Charter City and has a seven-member City Council, currently Councilmembers are elected by Council District and the Mayor is elected at-large.

City Council meetings are generally held twice a month on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm and Stadium Authority Meetings are held monthly at 7:00 pm in Council Chambers located in City Hall at 1500 Warburton Ave. Meetings are live-streamed via the City's Facebook and YouTube channels and on the City's website, as well as broadcast on the City's Local Government Access Channel.  Public participation and input is encouraged. To stay informed on meetings and agendas, please subscribe to the City's e-Notify category Council and Authorities Concurrent meeting on the e-Notify Sign Up page at www.santaclaraca.gov/enotify

In an attempt to provide a draft schedule of upcoming policy issues, a Tentative Meeting Agenda Calendar (TMAC) is available for review. However, please note that the items listed on the TMAC change frequently and are not absolute dates for consideration. To view the current edition, please visit the TMAC webpage at www.santaclaraca.gov/TMAC. The TMAC will be published twice a month on this city webpage. Again, we encourage members of the public to subscribe to eNotify to receive alerts when the final agendas have been published to the website.
