BACKGROUND Staff will guide commissioners through a session on strategic visioning and workplan development. The goal of this session will be to gain direction for future HRC functions and guiding principles. Historically the HRC was housed in the Community Development Department and has primarily provided grant review support for Grants in Aid and the Community Development Block Grants. In June, the HRC transitioned out of CDD and into the Administration department with the City’s DEI manager as the primary staff liaison. This shift in staff support also came with an effort to have a greater alignment with the City’s DEI initiatives which has prompted the need for a focused discussion regarding commission direction. NEXT STEPS Staff will use Commissioner feedback to develop action items to move forward with HRC workplan and strategic vision. Page 9 of 9
