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 February 28, 2023, special meeting, the Diversity Awareness Projects Ad Hoc Subcommittee provided a verbal update to the EHRAC about how the proposed project could look moving forward, taking into consideration input from the Ad Hoc Equity Subcommittee and recommendations about staff about the EHRAC workplan and budget or FY 23-24.
The Subcommittee requested to discuss this item again at the following meeting and the committee achieved consensus to agendize this item for the March 28, 2023, regular meeting to discuss how the project can move forward.
During this time, the EHRAC has submitted their workplan and budget request for FY 23-24 to be considered as part of the citywide Budget review process for FY 23-24.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There are no fiscal impacts associated with discussion of this item.
