Presentation of a proclamation declaring November 8, 2026, as Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and celebrating the holiday’s traditions, cultural significance, and message of compassion, harmony, and inclusiveness in the City of San José. (Candelas)

This item is a proclamation from the San José City Council declaring November 8, 2026, as Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and recognizing the holiday's traditions, cultural significance, and message of compassion, harmony, and inclusiveness. It is a ceremonial recognition and does not appear to involve funding or new rules. Because it concerns San José, not Los Alamos County, it may not directly affect Los Alamos residents.

Notice to the public: There will be no separate discussion of Consent Calendar items as they are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be adopted by one motion. If a member of the City Council requests discussion on a particular item, that item may be removed from the Consent Calendar and considered separately.

This meeting notice explains that the Council will consider Consent Calendar items together in one motion, without separate discussion, because they are treated as routine. A council member can ask to pull any item off the Consent Calendar so it can be discussed on its own. The notice does not list the specific items or describe what they would do.

Approval of City Council Minutes.

Approval of Council Committee Minutes.

The City Council is asked to approve the official written records (minutes) of two committee meetings: the Rules and Open Government Committee on October 14, 2026, and the Public Safety, Finance and Strategic Support Committee on October 15, 2026. Approving minutes makes the written record of those meetings official, and the item does not approve any new spending, project, or policy.

Mayor and Council Excused Absence Requests.

This agenda item asks the council to excuse the absences of the mayor and council members who could not attend the November 3, 2026 meeting. The agenda does not list the names of the members involved or the reasons for their absences. The item does not involve spending, policy changes, or new rules.

Report from the Council Liaison to the Retirement Boards.

The City Council will hear a report from its liaison to the retirement boards, which oversee retirement plans. The agenda lists no action to vote on, dollar amounts, or specific details, so the report's content is not known from this item alone. Residents who want details can check the meeting packet or minutes.

City Attorney’s Travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Settlement of Kao, et al v. City of San José, et al.

First Amendment to the Master Consultant Agreement with SCI Consulting Group.

Torch Relay Agreement with Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2028.

Boards and Commissions Appointment.

The City Council is asked to appoint Julia Cooper as the Retiree Representative on the Board of Administration for the Federated City Employees' Retirement System. She would fill an unexpired term ending November 30, 2028. The item is on the consent agenda, which groups routine items for a single vote, and the source text does not list any cost.

Deferred Compensation Advisory Committee Appointment.

Retroactive Approval of Various Special Events Sponsored by Council District 8 as City Council Sponsored Special Events to Expend City Funds and Accept Donations of Materials and Services for the Events.

The City Council would retroactively approve eight community events sponsored by Council District 8 that took place or were scheduled between August 14 and October 31, 2026. The events include school backpack and coffee events, a music event, fall festivals, and Halloween events. The item also approves spending city funds for the events and accepting donations of materials and services from individuals, businesses, and community groups. The source text does not list the dollar amounts.

Report of the City Manager, Jennifer Maguire (Verbal Report).

This is a verbal report from City Manager Jennifer Maguire to the City Council at its November 3, 2026 meeting. The agenda does not list a specific subject or action, so the materials provided do not say what the report covers, whether any vote is required, or how residents would be affected.

Acceptance of Retirement Plans’ Comprehensive Annual Investment Fee Reports for Calendar Year 2025.

The City Council is asked to accept two annual reports on the investment fees paid by the Federated City Employees' Retirement System and the Police and Fire Department Retirement Plan for calendar year 2025. Accepting the reports means the council receives and files them. The staff report does not list fee amounts, and the city says this action is not a project requiring environmental review.

Interim Ordinance for Temporary Moratorium on Detention and Custodial Facilities.

The City Council will consider a temporary pause on new applications to start, expand, or change the use of detention and custodial facilities on both private and public land. The pause would apply while staff reviews the impacts of these facilities and develops land use rules to address them, to the extent state and federal law allows, with certain exemptions. The council will also be asked to accept a status report on the review's scope and timeline.

Boards and Commissions Appointment.

The City Council will interview and vote on appointing Sharon Hightower to the attorney-at-law seat on the Civil Service Commission. If approved, her four-year term would run from December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2030. The staff report says the appointment is an administrative action with no effect on the physical environment.

Retirement Board Public Member Interviews.

Notice to the public: There will be no separate discussion of Land Use Consent Calendar (Item 10.1) as they are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be adopted by one motion. If a member of the City Council requests discussion on a particular item, that item will be removed from the Land Use Consent Calendar (Item 10.1) and considered separately.

This notice explains how the City Council will handle Item 10.1, the Land Use Consent Calendar. Items on this list are routine, so the Council will approve them all with one motion unless a council member asks to discuss a specific item, which will then be pulled off the list and considered separately. The notice does not name the land use items on the calendar or give any dollar amounts or dates for them.
