Below are the formal motions and outcomes recorded on the public record.

Consent calendar and related changes
- Motion to approve the consent calendar and add Item 13 (real property at 1135 East Santa Clara Street) to consent was made and seconded during the meeting. Supervisor Ellenberg registered an abstention on Item 38. The motion passed unanimously with the abstention noted.
- Item 14 (adoption of ordinance related to the District Attorney’s military equipment use policy) was requested by the District Attorney to be held to a date uncertain and was removed from today's calendar.
- A correction to Item 38 clarified that the county would sponsor Together We Vote Coalition via fiscal agent Beyond the Village Inc. for $500 from a Supervisorial District 3 allocation; Supervisor Ellenberg noted her abstention on that item when the consent calendar passed.
- Item 44c (announcement of travel for the interim assessor) was deleted at the assessor’s request.
- Vice President Arenas requested deletion of a repeated commendation (Item 70e for La Raza Historical Society) and the board approved removal of that item.

Pulled items and report-back requests
- Supervisor Abakova pulled Item 55 (agreement with Unisolutions Inc. on budget formulation and management software, not to exceed $6,500,000) for discussion. She requested that staff return to the board by August 2026 with a report describing how the new budget management system will improve public transparency (including an easier-to-understand public budget booklet). The board approved the item with that added direction.

Other recorded votes
- Multiple procedural votes (motions to amend the consent calendar, deletions of items, and confirmations of roll-call votes) were taken throughout the meeting; where a specific abstention or hold was recorded it has been noted above.

How the votes were recorded

Vice President Sylvia Arenas and Supervisor Young co‑authored the referral. Arenas said the county must organize prevention, preparedness and rapid‑response systems so families do not face sudden disruptions and can access legal assistance and emergency supports. The referral directs county staff to develop an implementation work plan, coordinate with community partners and legal service providers, and return to the board with a draft.

Why it matters: community speakers described increasing fear among immigrant families amid federal enforcement actions and urged the county to provide legal resources, rapid-response coordination, data protections and outreach. Supporters included Community Health Partnership, First 5 Santa Clara County, Asia Law Alliance, Sacred Heart Community Service, the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley and others; a smaller number of public speakers opposed the referral and questioned county authority over federal immigration enforcement.

Public-comment themes and requests to the board:
- Community groups urged the county to fund and coordinate legal defense and emergency representation so families facing detention have counsel quickly available.
- Speakers asked the county to prepare family‑stability resources, rapid‑response protocols, and training for county staff and partners on constitutional and privacy protections.
- Disability advocates asked for explicit inclusion of people with disabilities and mixed‑status households, and for outreach that addresses language and accessibility.
- Several nonprofits offered to partner on implementation, information campaigns and rapid‑response networks already operating locally.

During the board exchange, Supervisor Abakova and others sought clarity on timing and fiscal impacts. Vice President Arenas and Supervisor Young emphasized urgency given recent federal raids elsewhere and requested interim briefings. County Executive James Williams said administration would coordinate with county counsel and provide updates; staff noted that any additional funding needs would be brought back at midyear (February) as part of the county’s budget process.

The board approved the referral by unanimous vote. The motion asks administration to return with a draft work plan and to provide interim briefings to board offices; the motion also directed county counsel to participate in plan development to avoid unintended legal exposure.

What comes next: staff will develop a draft work plan with community input and return to the board for review. The board requested interim, off‑agenda briefings on implementation progress; county staff indicated they would work with board offices on cadence. If the work plan identifies budgetary needs, those would be considered at midyear budget review.","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted Sept. 16 to refer a staff work plan to expand the county’s role in coordinating a regional response to federal immigration enforcement actions, directing administration to develop a draft plan with community input and to return with implementation details and interim briefings.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6470141,"County declares Latino health a \"public health crisis,\" asks for outcome-based follow-ups",2817,4486000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780043-25d06ba8b791b8871c958dfeb2106fad&start=4486&end=7303","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780043-25d06ba8b791b8871c958dfeb2106fad/thumbnail_4486000.jpg","/articles/6470141/Santa-Clara-County/California/County-declares-Latino-health-a-public-health-crisis-asks-for-outcome-based-follow-ups","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6470141-b2d5e48a7d6c9dc399468565dc4a0e18/orig.mp4?Expires=1775578725&Signature=WIzguqj9yVy3JvoZdBrtcmpEzuFgBLFH3zE9S43F92PgO6NH81-21PBTMAYmFeDQznSCruxckFMoWQcKamXu7oeKbogMBOVXxc0Kf9~-DP10fbcmBsQvAUuzPTDdDF5GY9vpAa5E7~nRsCxcHafTSoRAk6Xb8J64btdffNrEWZ~OkoooowfFBRctSruL00hK3uXF-XgYZGyAOB~S4Bo2pvtMWXrxIayYFXT0WJNOrAil-BK6iW3625mACkFL6A9AzABDIvK11iRiFgv6IE-n2xX9Jv2mOVkLDBOiio9lRpov2RUeUzwyYwRt-yD8GdpMJU~mjZ9n1xXKsPGpZch9fQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 16 adopted a resolution declaring Latino health and well‑being a public health crisis, citing the county’s Latino Health Assessment and directing county administration to return with outcome-oriented updates and follow-up actions.

Vice President Sylvia Arenas introduced the resolution as a formal recognition of “stark and troubling” disparities documented in the Latino Health Assessment. Dr. Redmond, speaking for county public-health leadership, said the findings are “deeply alarming and heartbreaking” and called the declaration a vital first step toward sustained action.

Why it matters: county staff and community speakers told the board the assessment documents pervasive gaps in access and outcomes for Latino residents that cut across income, housing, disability and health-care access. The declaration commits the board to elevated attention and directs county staff to produce measurable follow-up reporting.

Key findings and concerns cited in the meeting included:
- Nearly half of Latino residents delayed medical treatment last year because of inability to pay.
- Latino life expectancy in the county is, on average, about two years shorter than non-Latino counterparts, according to speakers referencing the assessment.
- The number of unhoused Latino residents more than doubled over a 10‑year span to about 4,700 people, representing roughly 41% of the county's unhoused population.
- A large share of the county’s Latino population is young: speakers noted that about 40% of local Latinos are under 25 years old.

Public comment was strongly supportive. Several speakers — including parents, nonprofit leaders and disability‑rights advocates — urged the board to ensure the Latino disability community is explicitly included in any next steps. Multiple speakers asked the board to direct the public‑health department to return with revised directives within three months to better reflect Latino disability needs and to engage disability leaders in the planning.

Supervisor Arenas made the motion to adopt the resolution; President Lee seconded after proposing additional “whereas” clauses that acknowledge Latino residents’ deep historical contributions to the county (those clauses were accepted into the resolution). The board also asked county administration to provide regular, outcome‑focused updates; County Executive James Williams said administration would work with the board on reporting cadence.

The motion passed unanimously.

What the board directed next: the resolution itself is a declaration; board members and staff discussed practical next steps, including meeting with disability leaders, centering Latino disability data in future work, and returning to the board with measurable, outcome‑oriented progress reports. County staff committed to working with board offices and community partners to identify reporting frequency and metrics.

Supporters and community groups at the hearing included Parents Helping Parents, First 5 Santa Clara County, Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits, the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley and other Latino-serving organizations; many reiterated the request that Latino residents with disabilities be included in any revised directives.","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to declare the health and well-being of Latino residents a public health crisis, adopting a resolution tied to findings from the county’s Latino Health Assessment and directing administration to provide regular outcome-focused updates and next steps.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6470145,"Board approves FY24–25 CAPER, highlights $1M in HOME funds and new affordable units",418,3849000,4267000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780043-25d06ba8b791b8871c958dfeb2106fad&start=3849&end=4267","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780043-25d06ba8b791b8871c958dfeb2106fad/thumbnail_3849000.jpg","/articles/6470145/Santa-Clara-County/California/Board-approves-FY2425-CAPER-highlights-1M-in-HOME-funds-and-new-affordable-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6470145-6450e93b22f2862228882a8200828da4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775578725&Signature=CyPO65Mh2r~M1Xf4TcnHxgpFR5B2iZsYyIuBEkAgpyMKMWuo-Y03rgvraaeq9c797KJ56kxUU8RYr1Ey13QmsCOAapCM2T7ez5kKJzZm9fyXJEnvZqe~V9SuaGas1OEwqZnlTPb3Nv7e7x-Tmo8AjwOIlD36PIR4thv51127WQb4g~COCSeuu176u2NuP~V7rPIRY-gMgjXv4SaUQaAVJmyWyrUsdvtgeowQEN~G6u~B0-R9xhlJZdKRlu3gQsTFDTXNAJ~PSTrQ5bqOsjVc4WQaz1pLZwF7UTRWKTU08s0Y6EqbJJDMYuMXf1Jv9h5kjsAhIdmepF2avB439NiH2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 16 approved the county's Fiscal Year 2024–25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, the HUD-required CAPER that documents use of CDBG and HOME funds and summarizes the county’s housing and public-service accomplishments.

KJ Kaminski, director of the Office of Supportive Housing, described the CAPER as a HUD-format report that “reflects the great work of not only the county team, but also our partners,” and said staff would submit the draft to HUD by the Sept. 28 deadline.

Why it matters: the CAPER is the primary accountability document to HUD that records how federal CDBG and HOME funds were spent. Approval clears the way for continued entitlement funding and signals the county’s recent progress on affordable housing, shelter, home repair and fair-housing services.

County staff reported that the FY25 annual action plan approved in May allocated roughly $4,000,000 in CDBG and HOME funds for a mix of public services, housing rehabilitation and housing development. For FY25, about $1,000,000 of program funds were expended on public services, housing rehab and fair-housing services; a $300,000 city capital project in Morgan Hill experienced construction delays and is now expected to finish in FY26.

The report lists program accomplishments in FY25 and the five-year 2020–2025 consolidated planning period. Highlights in staff presentations and the draft CAPER include:
- Assisted 40 low-income homeowners with deferred maintenance or emergency repairs.
- Provided shelter, legal services, counseling and other supports to 2,148 low-income people during FY25.
- Handled 88 fair-housing inquiries for low-income residents during the year.
- The Meridian (formerly Sunnyvale Block 15) completed construction and has leased all 89 affordable units.
- Mitchell Park Place (Palo Alto) received $1,000,000 in HOME funds and is under construction; together the Meridian and Mitchell Park Place will provide roughly 140 affordable units, including 48 units set aside for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

Over the five-year consolidated plan cycle, county staff reported that CDBG funds supported 86 public-service agreements serving 11,217 low-income individuals for services such as legal aid, shelter and senior programs; 230 low-income homeowners received repairs; 607 individuals received overnight shelter; and roughly $7.1 million of CDBG funds were leveraged to acquire three affordable housing properties (Hillview Court in Milpitas, Royal Oak Village in Morgan Hill, and Distal Court in Los Altos).

Natalie Monk, housing and community development division manager, told the board the full list of FY25 expenditures and program accomplishments is included in the draft CAPER that staff submitted for the board’s approval.

The board took one procedural vote to accept the report. Supervisor Abakova moved approval; Supervisor Ellenberg seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Looking ahead: staff said the delayed Morgan Hill capital improvement will be completed in FY26 and that the full CAPER will be transmitted to HUD by the Sept. 28 submission deadline. The draft CAPER is posted as Attachment A to the staff report for detailed line‑item expenditures and program narratives.","The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors voted Sept. 16 to approve the county’s Fiscal Year 2024–25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), the HUD-mandated report that summarizes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME program activities, including recent affordable-housing completions and upcoming projects.","actionData","errors"]
