At a recent Santa Clara City Council meeting, City Manager Julio Fuentes spoke about the need connecting citizens to the city's long-term planning at an early stage. It's a challenge as many know. The minute that city officials say "maybe we should" or "what if," the rumor mill goes into overdrive and by day's end slogan-bearing tee shirts are being printed.
However, in the hope that more early discussion will help build public trust, this Wednesday at 4:30 the City Council's goal-setting sub-committee is holding a
study session about the ways residents can participate in the research and recommendations for a new Santa Clara sports park complex. Find the agenda here. The meeting is at the Council conference room, adjacent to the Council Chamber.
The discussion was triggered by the brouhaha created when the
Council began talking, at a September study session,
about moving the 10 year-old Santa Clara Youth Soccer Park from its present location
side-by-side with Santa Clara's new Levi's Stadium. The Council has said that
no decisions have been made. You an watch the Council meeting here and selecting agenda item 5.c.
