Purpose and Policy Guidance
Recommendation
This Council Item of Special Interest is a request to bring back to the Council revisions to the Diversity Commission Ordinance previously presented in the November 22, 2016 voting session for further Council discussion and direction. The changes that have been requested to the Diversity Commission Ordinance are as follows:
- Require that all Diversity Commission members be Glendale residents
- Require that only Diversity Commission members may sit on the Diversity Commission’s sub-committees
Background
During the November 22, 2016 voting session, Council reviewed and discussed the proposed Diversity Commission Ordinance. The item was tabled and in a later Council meeting, it was brought back as a Council Item of Special Interest.
Analysis
Should the Council choose to revise the November 22, 2016 Diversity Commission Ordinance with the requested changes and have it brought back to Council for further discussion or vote, it would take minimal staff time to update the existing ordinance with those changes.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
An Ordinance that creates a Diversity Commission benefits the public by helping the community to become more inclusive, harmonious, respectful, and cohesive.
