Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sunnyvale public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Boards and commissions policy update
The council quietly dissolved the Human Relations Commission on the consent calendar; the city manager plans a staff advisory committee with a similar scope, and HRC applicants will be redirected to other commissions.
Category F executive benefits update
About a dozen top city executives get a new 40-hour annual leave bank plus bigger car and phone allowances — but no raise this year. The city says it's cheaper than the old compensation formula.
New labor agreements with city employee unions
The council approved four-year contracts with the city's largest union (about 560 SEA/IFPTE workers) and SEIU's 42 part-time employees, including raises and new parental leave benefits. Both unions ratified the deals overwhelmingly.
