Jun 23, 2026 Joint meeting of the Council, Shoreline Regional Park, & Capital Improvements Authority

The joint meeting covered closed session actions (including authorizing the city to join an amicus brief opposing a proposed ICE detention facility near Gilroy), three proclamations (Immigrant Heritage Month, the Kiwanis Club's 100th anniversary, and honoring departing City Attorney Jennifer Lo's judicial appointment), and a 34-item consent calendar. The council unanimously adopted the Biodiversity and Urban Forest Plan after refining species definitions (replacing 'near native' with 'functional species'), and began discussion of the Community Ownership Action Plan for tenant displacement response. Public comment focused heavily on immigration enforcement concerns, RV parking issues on Gemini Avenue, and native plant advocacy.
