Monte Sereno

Monte Sereno is a city of 3,500 — Santa Clara County's smallest, with no shops, no stoplights, and no police department of its own. Incorporated 1957 after breaking from Los Gatos, governed by a five-member Council, Silicon Valley's most secluded and overlooked enclave.

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

Monte Sereno residents should note that the Measure A (2016 Housing Bond) Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee will meet tomorrow to review housing-related issues and major funding decisions tied to the bond. This committee plays a key role in overseeing how housing funds are allocated across Santa Clara County, which affects regional housing development including areas impacting Monte Sereno.

Separately, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Board of Directors met yesterday and finalized important actions related to regional transit and housing projects. While these decisions are regional, they influence transportation and housing infrastructure that Monte Sereno depends on. Residents following housing and infrastructure topics should watch the upcoming Measure A committee meeting for updates on funding priorities and any new developments that could affect local housing pressures and the city’s rural character.
