The Rules and Open Government Committee met on June 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. to review upcoming council agendas, approve consent items, and discuss two action items: the development of data center standards and a memo opposing a state ballot measure that would restrict local revenue-raising authority. The committee heard public testimony on multiple items and voted unanimously on all agenda items.
Okay, it's two o'clock, and we're going to call our um meeting of the rules and open government committee to order. Let's start with roll call, please. Candela. Here, one fully. Pierre Cohen. We have a quorum. Thank you. The first item of business is to do our final review of the council agenda for Tuesday, June 16th, with a 9 30 morning closed session, 1 30 open session, and canceled evening session. And so we start with consent on page 5. And I'm not going to count it out this time because I remember last time it was a lot of pages. So we're going to make our way through these pages to page 21. Whoa. And we have an item, the final approval of the various budget actions will be heard before consent. That's item 3.3. And in addition, also 3.4, the appropriation ordinance will be heard before consent. Then we have several contracts with our labor groups, SJ uh PDA, ABMEI, ALP, and also the compensation and benefits changes for Unit 99 and unrepresented employees. Section 8, we have some business improvement district public hearings. Alumrock, downtown, Japan Town, the Alameda. Also a grant agreement for multiple interim housing sites. And if I remember correctly, yes, there's one item on land use consent, which would be heard immediately after regular consent. Do we have any public comment? No public comment. Okay, back to the committee. All right. We have motion and a second, so let's vote. Oh, my mind got turned off. Sorry. My motion carries five zero. I'm waiting for a vote, and it was my vote we were waiting for. All right. Now we're moving on to the review of the agenda for our last council meeting of the fiscal year on Tuesday, June 23rd. And consent starts on page five. Continues on pages six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. In section three, we have a discussion of potential ballot measure for ranked choice voting for council vacancies. Section five, an award for large format advertising signs at SJC, and Willow Keys Corridor Improvement Project. Item six, a long-term power purchase agreement with Shell Energy and the San Jose Clean Energy Integrated Resource Plan. Section seven, an amendment to the agreement between the City of Milpitas and San Jose for animal care services. Section eight grant agreements for multiple homelessness projects. And three items on land use consent to be heard immediately after regular consent. Is there any public comment? No public comment. Okay, motion and a second. I don't see any hands, so let's vote on that one. All right, that motion carries 5-0. And we are now on to our consent calendar. And today we have seven items on consent, including many of our committee work plans. Do we have any public comment? Yes, we do have one speaker, but before I call the name, as a reminder, speakers must comply with the city's code of conduct for public meetings. Please direct comments to the body, limit remarks of the agenda item and observe the time limit. Conduct that materially disrupts the meeting or interferes with others' ability to participate may result in meeting or removal as authorized by law.
