Regular City Council Meeting Monday,February 10, 2014 Page 35 Councilmember Laliberte advised that she had struck the language after the last meeting; noting that it the City Council didn't support annual training, the item could go away, as it was offered later on in the proposed Item 2 under tools. By consensus, the body approved removal of Item "I"in its entirety. Item K Councilmember McGehee opined that this item was too long; and if the point was to facilitate effective two-way communication with all residents, that should be the language. Councilmember McGehee noted that this proposed language (green type) talked about a variety of languages and opined that if the commission re- viewed it and found it important, they needed to define how many languages and how many people were affected before making a recommendation to the City Council. Mayor Roe opined that the proposed green language on Item "K" got rid of the language notion and provided broader direction, making it almost a new item. Councilmember Laliberte advised that her intent was to make it about communi- cation; and proposed adding"understandable"before"communication. Mayor Roe noted that Item "C" talked about that as well, and addressed the lan- guage issue; opining that this was a communication issue. Councilmember Etten opined that other government organizations have transla- tion tools on their websites, and further opined that getting specific about lan- guage was the key thing currently missing. Mayor Roe noted that those residents unable to speak English were an under- represented group; and opined that the City Council had frequently talked about wanting to address hat. Councilmember McGehee opined that "understandable" wasn't addressing that intent and didn't get to the heart of other languages. Councilmember Willmus opined that he was fine with stating specifically multi- ple languages as proposed by Councilmember McGehee (blue type). By consensus, the body approved the following language for Item "K:" "Review and recommend ways to improve the City's communication efforts, both printed and electronic, so as to facilitate effective two-way communication between the City and all its residents, businesses, community and neighborhood organizations, including making that information available in multiple lan- guages"
