The City of Santa Clara's Stadium Neighborhood Relations Ad Hoc Subcommittee met on June 1, 2026, to discuss preparations and community impacts related to the upcoming FIFA World Cup matches at Levi's Stadium. Key procurement-related topics included the proposed stadium event parking program, which is pending community feedback and may require procurement of equipment or services and city code updates for implementation. The committee also reviewed extensive traffic and street closure plans, public safety coordination involving multiple agencies, and communication strategies to inform residents and businesses. Concerns were raised by a local business owner about private property cleanup after stadium events, prompting staff to consider potential adjustments to existing agreements with the stadium management.

Overall, the meeting focused on operational planning, community outreach, and potential procurement actions to support event management and neighborhood relations during the multi-week FIFA event.
