Related Santa Clara, the developer of the massive residential-commercial project near Levi’s Stadium, this week contributed $100,000 to Mayor Lisa Gillmor’s reelection campaign through a newly established independent committee according to campaign documents filed Thursday.

The settlement ends five years of legal battles between the city and the National Football League team over management of the stadium, and requires the Forty Niners SC Stadium Company and its stadium management firm to pay the city $1,675,000.

As the 2022 election season enters its final quarter, the San Francisco 49ers – whose money boosted prior campaigns in both San Jose this spring and Santa Clara in 2020 – may be staying on the sidelines.

The vote was preceded by warnings from Doyle and his own attorney that the termination was unfair and illegal.

City staff will discuss Doyle’s “discipline/dismissal/release" behind closed doors in a special meeting Wednesday evening.

The settlement requires the Santa Clara City Council to formally call for a vote by residents on accepting six districts by June 1.

Former mayoral candidate Anthony Becker said he is embarrassed that Santa Clara failed to comply with basic transparency standards.

Santa Clara has called off its long-running candidate forums in one of the most consequential election years in the city’s history.
