BACKGROUND:
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee was established July 21, 2020,
for the purpose of advising the City Council on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Initially, the DEI Committee studied four topics and presented recommendations to the
City Council. The four initial study topics were as follows: 1) Public Safety (including a
review of Police Department policies, practices, training, and future directions), 2)
Citywide Organization (including a review of City government policies, practices, training,
etc.) 3) Community At -large (including a review of City demographic data, history, trends,
etc.) 4) Local Economy (including a review of private sector diversity policies, training,
etc.).
The Senior Citizen Housing Corporation Board was established to actively oversee
the management, operation, maintenance, and finances of Park Vista. The Board enters
into an operating agreement with the City Council and enlists a management company to
operate the facility.
DISCUSSION:
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is a 9-member committee, comprised of
community members who live, work, or attend high school in El Segundo and two
members of the El Segundo Unified School District.
The Senior Citizen Housing Corporation Board, comprised of five (5) directors, all El
