Description
Title: Approval of City Council Minutes.
Summary
On February 10, 2026, the San José City Council convened to address various legislative items impacting the city. Key actions included the adoption of several ordinances aimed at incentivizing housing development by waiving certain construction taxes for up to 7,000 residential units. These measures seek to promote affordable housing in response to pressing community needs. Additionally, a resolution was passed to place a measure on the June 2026 ballot to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax from 4% to 6%, which is projected to generate approximately $10 million annually for city services, including homelessness support and public safety. The council also recognized important cultural observances, such as Vietnamese New Year and Black History Month, and approved funding for community events.
