Item 9
Dear Council,
While it is very nice that the city has set up a diversity, equity and inclusion focus, the city has defined these terms
narrowly to deal with preconceived political superstitions about who should be the subject of DEI.
For example, persons with disabilities are EXcluded from your definition of INclusion.
It would be nice if the city staff and council were to become more aware of their ableist attitudes and assumptions and
included persons with disabilities, and their needs, in its DEI program. How about adding this to the purview of the HRC?
Thank you.
Richard Schmidt
