<br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, June 3, 2024 <br />Page 3 <br />Mayor Roe indicated the only thing he was concerned about with combining the way <br />suggested, is that it seems to lose the specific activities, skills, and experiences related to <br />the work of the Commission and talking about lived experiences. <br />Councilmember Strahan agreed there is a possibility of having both and she thought there <br />is a space in all of the Commission applications for that equity and inclusion. She thought <br />this was a valid extra question and agreed there is a possibility of combining them but they <br />could lose something of real value. <br />Councilmember Etten appreciated the feedback. He suggested question 8 be kept but <br /> question 9 be shortened to get rid of the first clause and state “How could your life <br /> experiences contribute to the City’s equity and inclusion initiatives”, getting back into that <br />lived experience. <br />The Council concurred. <br />Mayor Roe thought the Council could discuss the application questions at a later time. The <br />key action for tonight is to try to get the Ordinance and the process going and provide <br />feedback and suggestions later. <br />The Council discussed addresses and demographics of Commissions with staff, deciding <br />not to exclude addresses from the applications. <br />Ms. Olson reviewed check-ins for success with the City Council. <br />Mayor Roe stated from his point of view about terms, because the Council is appointing <br />amid a normal term period, it seems to follow along with the vacancy filling. In this case, <br />the first term might be only one year. He did not know if there needed to be a check-in for <br />that if it was made clear upfront. <br />The Council discussed the check-in process. <br />Ms. Olson reviewed a tentative timeline with the Council. <br /> Schroeder moved, Etten seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1676 entitled, “An <br /> Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Title 2, Chapter 205 “Human Rights, Inclusion, and <br /> Engagement Commission” and Replacing it in its Entirety with Chapter 205 “Equity and <br /> Inclusion Commission”, with the removal of “Advisory” in three places. <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Strahan, Etten, Schroeder, Groff, and Roe. <br />Nays: None <br />Qbhf!217!pg!354 <br /> <br />
