Direct the City Manager’s Office, in coordination with the City Attorney’s Office and City Clerk, to evaluate and return to the City Council with policy options that would: 1. Prohibit members of the San Jose City Council from entering into nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements concerning projects, contracts, developments, or other matters subject to City approval, funding, regulation, oversight, or legislative action, including data centers and other large energy-use projects and related infrastructure and agreements. 2. Prohibit persons or entities seeking City action or approvals from conditioning access to project-related information upon a Councilmember signing a nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement. 3. Preserve legally protected confidentiality, including attorney-client privilege, lawful closed sessions, personnel matters, labor and real property negotiations, litigation, cybersecurity information, trade secrets, and other confidentiality required or authorized by law. 4. Establish an appropriate City process to review confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or commercially sensitive information from persons or entities seeking City action or approvals without requiring individual Councilmembers to enter into NDAs and return to the Rules and Open Government Committee with the City Manager’s and City Attorney’s analysis, recommended framework, exceptions, and any necessary legislative or policy changes.
