  • Santa Clara Fairgrounds RFP Resolution

    The attached RFP is 156 pages long. No need to read every page. See below.

    The document shows a lot…
    1. History of Santa Clara County Fairground, started in 1941.
    2. Company proposals to operate (RFPs). Great ideas to revitalize the 150 acres.

    If you scan the document you will see these things. No need to read every page.

    It’s exciting that after many years the county may be able to revitalize the fairgrounds into a destination worth going to with many activities including new farmers market, several major sport complexes, San Jose Giants stadium, and much more.

  • STBNA November monthly meeting

    You’re probably wondering why we see so much information flowing over from STBNA? Well, simply put, it never hurts to learn from other neighborhood associations what issues they have to solve. However, in particular, Rolund LeBrun serving as President for the STBNA group also works tirelessly on traffic issues that impact our area. In particular, he devotes a great deal of his time advocating on our behalf to ensure High Speed Rail implementation is handled properly without destroying our neighborhoods. To that end, 11/28 is the November monthly meeting for STBNA, details follow:

    Date: 11/28
    Location: Santa Teresa Public Library Community room

  • Public Safety – Disaster Preparedness

    With the recent fire outbreak in the Santa Cruz mountains near Loma Prieta, this topic strikes really close to home, literally and figuratively. Do you wonder…

    Are you prepared for an emergency?

    Whether that emergency be a fire, a flood, an earthquake, or other type of disaster, you should think about building a go bag that includes minimally the following:

    • Food and water supplies to last you 3 days/person (minimum)
    • Clothing
    • First aid kit (and any necessary medications afflicting members of your party)
    • battery powered radio
    • cellphone
    • flashlight (and/or matches)
    • batteries
    • copies of important family documents (medical records, insurance policies, etc.) stored in a waterproof container
    • If you have pets, build a go bag for them, too (water, food bowl, food, meds, etc.) – cannot stress the importance of maintaining shot records for your pets in the event they must be boarded during a crisis. *Chip them if you haven’t already so they can be reunited with their owner after the disaster*
    • Contacts outside the immediate affected area to notify of your situation

    It always takes a disaster to remind us, we cannot and should not procrastinate when it comes to disaster preparedness! We need to prepare for these eventualities!

  • D2 Participatory Budget – Help get the vote out

    On October 8, the city will hold an Expo at the Los Paseos Elementary All Purpose Meeting room from 10:30am-1:00pm.

    Come meet the budget delegates driving projects to help improve your neighborhoods. Learn what each project has to offer so you as a voter can make an informed decision as to how to best spend the $1M dollars available from the Calpine grant settlement. Learn more about the process via the City of San Jose web page dedicated to this process:
