Title

Staffreport
BACKGROUND
At the November 3, 2025 regular City Council meeting, per San Leandro Administrative Code (SLAC) Sec. 1.13.115, the subject of Vice-Mayor Bowen’s request for discipline was submitted for the Council’s initial consideration.
SLAC Sec. 1.13.115 provides as follows: The City Clerk shall place the matter on a Council regular or special meeting agenda for the Council to determine whether further investigation is required, or whether discipline short of censure is warranted, or to move towards censure. Discipline short of censure may be one or a combination of the items in subsections (a) through (d) below. This discussion is a matter of public record and must take place during an open, noticed, and public meeting of the City Council.
However, because the motion that was made at the November 3, 2025 regular City Council meeting contained an action that was not properly agendized, the entire motion was rendered null and void. To correct the issue, the agenda item before the Council this evening is for the Council to discuss and decide whether and how to move forward under SLAC 1.13.115 pursuant to Vice-Mayor Bowen’s current request for discipline.
