January 20, 2026 - City Council Meeting

The City Council of San Leandro held a meeting on January 20, 2026, which included extensive discussions on internal disciplinary matters involving council members. The council reviewed an independent investigation report concerning allegations of misconduct, retaliation, and gender bias among council members Aguilar and Simon. After public comments and deliberations, the council voted to accept the findings of the report and proceeded to consider disciplinary actions. A motion to impose discipline on Council Member Aguilar passed, resulting in a letter of reprimand, a statement of disapproval, and an admonition with expectations for behavioral correction and training. A similar motion for discipline on Council Member Simon was also discussed, with votes reflecting division among council members. The meeting also included consent calendar approvals, public comments on infrastructure repair funding, and council member reports on community events and priorities. No new procurement contracts or budget allocations were directly addressed during this session, but the council discussed the need for fiscal responsibility and potential revenue measures.
