Equity, and Inclusion Committee and Library Board of Trustees.

BACKGROUND:
The Capital Improvement Program Advisory Committee assists in the development
of the 5-year Capital Improvement Program ("CIPAC"). Each year staff proposes CIP
projects for a 5-year period. The committee reviews these projects and makes
recommendations to the City Council for funding consideration in conjunction with the
City's annual budget process. In addition to the projects proposed by staff, the committee
holds a community workshop each year to receive project requests from the general
public.
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 Library Board of Trustees act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all
matters pertaining to the Library and cooperates with other governmental agencies and
civic groups in the advancement of sound planning and programming. The board
considers, reviews, edits, and issues policy recommendations on library service,
recommends the adoption of standards pertaining to library services and programs and
makes recommendations for the provision of adequate library services consistent with
community needs. The board may administer any trust declared or created for the Library
and approves the Library's Annual Report to the State Librarian.
