January 5, 2026 - City Council Meeting

The City Council meeting of San Leandro on January 5, 2026, primarily focused on internal governance and transparency issues rather than direct procurement activities. Key discussions centered on the potential release of a confidential HR investigative report related to a complaint filed by Vice Mayor Bowen against other council members. The council debated waiving attorney-client privilege to make the report public, with public comments strongly urging transparency to restore trust. The council ultimately voted to release the full unredacted report and related workplace investigation summaries, and to agendaize a future discussion on restorative justice mediation. The meeting also included procedural motions such as the appointment of the vice mayor for 2026. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or budget allocations were discussed during this session.
