Los Gatos

Los Gatos is a town of 34,000 at Silicon Valley's southern foothills — picturesque, historic, and famously the birthplace of Netflix. Incorporated 1887, governed by a five-member Council, with a Victorian downtown that prizes charm and small-town character above all else.

CivicCause organizes issues, meetings, elections, and public activity around Los Gatos so you can see what is happening locally and how it connects to broader county decisions.

The Los Gatos Town Council held a regular meeting on September 16, 2026, where they addressed several key items including adopting a resolution to rescind Resolution 2024-046 and amending the appendices to the Town Conflict of Interest Code. The council also approved minutes from the September 1 meeting, reviewed a law enforcement services agreement, and considered a second amendment to the agreement with Frank and Grossman Landscape, Inc.

Separately, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council met recently and finalized important actions relevant to Santa Clara County, which may indirectly affect regional public safety policies. Residents should also watch the Board Policy and Monitoring Committee meeting happening today, as it could influence broader regional governance. While Los Gatos continues to navigate housing and general plan challenges, these county and regional meetings provide additional context for local governance and community safety.
