AUG 24, 2026 | Community & Economic Development Committee

The City of San Jose's Community and Economic Development Committee convened on August 24, 2026, to review reports primarily from the Office of Economic Development and Cultural Affairs (OEDCA). The meeting focused on the audit of OEDCA's performance measures, which found most metrics reliable but recommended improvements for clarity and alignment with long-term goals. The committee unanimously approved the audit report and discussed opportunities for better data sharing with community partners. Additionally, the committee received a semiannual economic development activities report highlighting significant business grants totaling approximately $490,000 distributed to 49 small businesses, new business openings, and international business engagement events. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussions on grant funding and economic initiatives may influence future procurement and contracting opportunities.
