SUBJECT: HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSIONER LIAISON REASSIGNMENT
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the transfer of liaison duties from Commissioner Souza and Commissioner
Grothaus to Commissioner DeTurris and Commissioner Smith for the 2022-23 Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion High Impact Grant.
BACKGROUND
In November 2022, Council approved the HRC’s 22-23 DEI High Impact Grant Funding
Recommendations. In December 2022, the HRC delegated all grant recipients, so each
has a liaison to communicate with, particularly when midyear and end of year reports are
due. On March 31, 2023, the terms for Commissioner Souza and Commissioner Grothaus
will expire, leaving their DEI High Impact Grant assignments without a liaison. On March
21, 2023, the City Council approved the appointment of Vincent DeTurris and Sierra
Smith to the Human Relations Commission, with 4-year terms commencing on April 1,
2023.
NEXT STEPS
Approve the transfer of Commissioner Souza’s liaison assignments to Commissioner
DeTurris and the transfer of Commissioner Grothaus’ liaison assignments to
Commissioner Smith.
