The special meeting of the Santa Clara City Council and the Stadium Authority Board convened on June 17, 2025, to address several critical issues. The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the presence of most council members, while Council Member Gonzales was noted to be participating remotely but faced connectivity issues.

The council moved into a closed session to discuss four key items. The first item involved a consultation regarding threats to public services and facilities, which included a presentation from a protective security advisor from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This discussion highlights ongoing concerns about public safety and infrastructure security.

The second item on the agenda focused on labor negotiations with city representatives and employee organizations, specifically the Police Officers Association and the Public Safety Nonsworn Employees Association. This indicates ongoing efforts to address labor relations within the city.

The third item addressed existing litigation related to the fire victims trust and the PG&E Chapter 11 bankruptcy, emphasizing the city's involvement in significant legal matters affecting its residents.

Lastly, the council discussed the performance evaluation of the city attorney, specifically regarding the review process for compensation, although no substantive discussions on compensation were anticipated during this meeting.

The meeting concluded with plans to report any outcomes from the closed session at the next council meeting scheduled for June 24, 2025. The change in location for the closed session discussions to the Sparacino Conference Room was also noted, ensuring that all members were informed of logistical adjustments.
