Equity Commission
This Commission advises the Council on matters concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion and will focus on city policy conversations and governance decisions with equity in mind. (Equity is defined as freedom from systemic bias or favoritism. Parity across differences. Product and service access, opportunity, quality, and outcomes that do not vary by race, ethnicity, language, age, gender, or other meaningful differences.) This commission meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm at City Hall. All Equity Commission meetings are open to the public and are streamed live on the City website. Meeting materials and video recordings of meetings are available for download free of charge. Information about the City's diversity, equity, and inclusion journey can be found on the Diversity Equity and Inclusion page.
