RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Equity and Human Relations Advisory Committee (EHRAC): 1) receive a verbal update from the Diversity Awareness Projects Ad Hoc Subcommittee; 2) determine next steps; and 3) provide direction to staff as deemed appropriate.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the December 13, 2022, regular meeting, the subcommittee provided an update to the committee about their work. The subcommittee shared information regarding several project kiosks that bring awareness to different locations in Culver City that have historical and cultural significance. Staff advised that this effort be discussed in conjunction with the Cultural Affairs Commission and Cultural Affairs staff. The installation of kiosks requires more discussion and consideration before moving forward.
At the January 24, 2023, regular meeting, the committee achieved consensus to agendize this item to receive an update from the Diversity Awareness Ad Hoc Subcommittee. At the February 28, 2023 special meeting, in consideration of the input from the Ad Hoc Equity Subcommittee of the City Council and recommendations from staff, the Diversity Awareness Projects Subcommittee will provide a verbal update to the EHRAC about how the proposed project could look moving forward. At this time, while drafting the workplan for Fiscal Year 23-24, the next steps for the project are up for discussion. Staff can answer questions and share information about next steps.
