The SVO urges our members to advocate to the Mayor and City Council by:
- Showing up at the Council meeting and speaking during public comment on Item (we estimate sometime after 3pm, check the comments below for live updates)
- Emailing the Mayor at mayoremail@sanjoseca.gov
- CC all of the Councilmembers at district_@sanjoseca.gov (fill in the numbers 1 through 10)
Here is a template email for you to use:
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers,
I write to you today to advocate in support of Mayor Sam Liccardo’s memo on Item 4.5: Private Development Workforce Standards.
Specifically, I urge you to not delay the downtown high-rise fee feasibility study. If the study is delayed, over 3,500 homes could be placed at risk of not being built. We desperately need these housing units to address our lack of supply and in turn our affordability of housing units within the region.
I urge you to support Mayor Sam Liccardo’s memo on Item 4.5. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
[Signature]
