Where the data comes from
- City website: https://www.sanjoseca.gov
- Agendas and meeting calendar: https://sanjose.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx
- Meeting minutes: posted through the same Legistar calendar (View.ashx minutes links)
- Meeting video: https://sanjose.granicus.com/ (unverified); official YouTube channel not located
- Officials, agendas and video lists were collected from these official sources on 2026-10-22.
- Issue and People pages were rebuilt on 2026-10-24 from the full text of City Council minutes for September 22, September 29 and October 6, 2026, the October 2, 2026 study session, and the draft October 13, 2026 joint meeting with the Santa Clara Valley Water District Board.
Data quality notes
- No video found; issue detail comes from posted minutes, so discussion minutes are not recorded.
- Minutes list public speakers mostly by first name or by call-in label, and do not record their positions; only speakers with full names are linked.
- October 13 minutes are marked draft. October 20 and later meetings, committee meetings and Planning Commission meetings are not yet processed; the Race Street, appropriations, turf irrigation, solid waste and labor agreement pages come from agendas only.
- The minutes for the downtown parking resolution mix staff and memorandum wording, so the later-year rate steps (2028 hours, 2030 rates) should be checked against the resolution.
- The October 2 study session minutes are titled "Tuesday" but dated Friday, October 2.
- Closed session minutes list case names; private parties are omitted from the Issue pages.
- sanjoseca.gov returned 403 earlier, so the clerk-confirmed roster comes from the minutes themselves.
