Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,May 22, 2023 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Assistant City Manager Olson reviewed the Administration Department external <br /> community engagement and internal human resources along with external <br /> volunteer programs, internal learning and development and internal administration <br /> processes. She noted the City website is currently being updated to include <br /> diversity and inclusion. <br /> City Manager Trudgeon reviewed the Finance Department update including the <br /> License Center updates and grant fund management. <br /> Mayor Roe thanked all of the Department Heads for participating as well as the <br /> administration for the update. He was glad the City is looking at things such as <br /> people who are hearing impaired, vision impaired and other ability challenges <br /> because that is important and often something that gets overlooked in terms of how <br /> to serve people. <br /> Councilmember Etten thanked everyone for all of the work and felt amazed at all <br /> the work that has been done so far and are setting examples for the rest of the State <br /> and region in the work being done. <br /> Councilmember Groff explained a lot of this is in the details and it is the little things <br /> that make all the difference. He thought this was really great work and was really <br /> proud. <br /> Councilmember Strahan indicated when she sought office three years ago, she did <br /> not know that any of these things were happening, and she felt like this was a <br /> landslide since that time. She felt the City has moved so far ahead and it is really <br /> exciting and an honor to represent all of this work. She wanted to echo in the <br /> disability community the phrase "Nothing for us without us", and she really <br /> appreciated how many of the items across the departments have knowingly or <br /> unknowingly taken that into consideration and made sure that the people who are <br /> deeply impacted are a part of the process of making decisions. <br /> Mayor Roe appreciated everything that is being done in the community and stated <br /> he continually hears from people about what is being done and should be done. <br /> Recess <br /> Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 6:58 p.m., and reconvened at approximately <br /> 7:02 p.m. <br /> b.
