City Council — August 11, 2026
The Council formally responded to two county grand jury reports. Sunnyvale partially disagreed with findings on pothole claim rejections but will publish a list of non-city roads, and it rejected grand jury suggestions that VTA appointments require transportation backgrounds or outside-agency approval.

City Council — April 7, 2026
VTA pitched a potential November 2026 half-cent regional sales tax that could return about $264 million a year to Santa Clara County for faster, more frequent bus and light rail service. Councilmembers pushed for guarantees the money won't fund BART and raised pedestrian safety concerns about signal prioritization.
