Submitted By Reviewed By Assistant to the City Manager Assistant City Manager DESCRIPTION: Dublin Pride Week is an annual event that seeks to promote a positive image for the City of Dublin. The primary objective for Dublin Pride Week is to seek ways to engage individuals and/or groups in action-based activities to help improve the community. At the forefront of this effort is the Dublin Pride Week Committee. The Committee is made up of Councilmembers, City Staff and various community members and community organizations and comes together to plan and prepare the event. Councilmember participation is a key component of this committee and the ultimate success of Dublin Pride Week activities. Last year, Dublin Pride Week was held starting on the last Saturday in April and continuing through the first Saturday in May, in conjunction with the kickoff of the Dublin Farmers’ Market. The committee will decide whether to continue this schedule during its meetings. ITEM NO. 8.5 Page 1 of 2 Traditionally, two City Councilmembers have been appointed to serve on the Dublin Pride Week Committee. In 2012, Mayor Tim Sbrantiand Councilmember Don Biddle served as the City Council’s representatives; however, their terms of service on the Committee expire as of December 2012. As such, Staff requests that the appointment of two Councilmembers to this committee be deliberated and confirmed for a limited term beginning January 2013 and ending December 2013. At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur once a month with each meeting starting at 2:00 p.m. Generally, this meeting schedule continues through the month of February. As Pride Week approaches, more frequent meetings often become necessary. As a result, the Pride Week Committee may meet on a bi-weekly basis beginning in March and continue in such a manner until Pride Week activities begin. Other meetings schedules can be set to meet the needs of committee members. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None. ATTACHMENTS: None Page 2 of 2
