3. Establish 2021-2023 Personnel Board Advisory Body Goals for Council Consideration
Human Resources Director Irons introduced Finance Director Brigitte Elke who presented an
overview of the City’s financial planning process and fiscal climate. Board deliberated on
potential major city goals to submit to Council and requested an additional meeting to further
discuss and finalize the following:
Background:
The Personnel Board requests the City Council consider the following goals for the 2021-23
Financial Plan.
Goals:
1. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
The city is committed to policies, practices and structures that support the well-being
and empowerment of all residents, marginalized communities, and its employees.
a) More fully utilize the expertise of the Personnel Board in providing input and
oversight into organizational DEI policies, programs, and practices.
b) Ensure sufficient resources (staff, consultant, and budgetary) are provided to
support best practices in DEI in hiring, training, and promotional policies,
practices, programs.
2. Fiscal Sustainability
Engaged employees result in reduced turnover, avoid costs, and provide high level
programs and services to the community. COVID 19 has impacted employees, their
families, and work practices in many ways.
a) Support employee engagement, wellness, and resiliency through various
avenues including employee surveys, adaptation of work polices established
during the COVID 19 pandemic, and resources that support employee mental
health.
b) Ensure appropriate resources are allocated for the above in the 2021-23
Financial Plan.
Board agreed by consensus to reconvene within the next three weeks to finalize goal input to
Council.
Chair Dunlop directed Human Resources Director to direct staff to poll the Board members and
find a mutually agreeable date and time.
