MAY 5, 2026 | City Council

The City Council meeting of San Jose, CA, held on May 5, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. A significant agenda item was the approval of amendments to the lease agreement with Clear Channel for digital billboards, which involved increasing billboard sizes and heights while ensuring compliance with city policies and guaranteeing a minimum annual revenue of $6.8 million over ten years. The council approved this amendment despite public opposition and concerns about traffic safety and environmental impacts. Another key procurement discussion involved the approval of two new city parks in the Communications Hill development, including the amended turnkey parkland agreement with the developer for dedication and construction of the parks, payment of design review fees, and park naming. The council unanimously approved the park master plans and related agreements. Additionally, the council adopted the San Jose Public Library Facilities and Customer Experience Plan, which outlines a strategic framework for future library renovations, expansions, and co-location opportunities to meet community needs and support city growth. The meeting also featured proclamations and community recognitions but no other direct procurement actions.
