SUBJECT: HRC STRATEGIC VISIONING AND WORKPLAN DEVELOPMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Commissioners should review strategic vision for HRC development and potential
corresponding workplan items and provide commission recommendation for forward
action.
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.
