Consider Adopting an Ordinance Establishing an Equity and Inclusion Commission Assistant City Manager Rebecca Olson briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated June 3, 2024. Ms. Olson asked if the Council is comfortable with the name"Equity and Inclusion Commission"or would something else be preferred. Councilmember Etten thought the name was fine and wondered if"advisory" was necessary in the Code. Ms. Olson explained there was discussion internally about the word"advisory"and since this Commission is reviewing and providing feedback it can be an advisory commission but would not necessarily have to provide advice or recommendations. The Commission could provide review and feedback. Councilmember Etten thought that would be a reason to get rid of the word "advisory"in the title. The Council concurred. Councilmember Strahan indicated she was comfortable with the name and it may be a place of empowerment for the Commission. She thought to begin with it might be best to make it clear and direct.
