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. Similar to last year, Dublin Pride Week
will begin the last Saturday in April (April 25th) and will continue through the first Saturday in
May (May 2).

Traditionally, two City Councilmembers have been appointed to serve on the Dublin Pride Week
Committee. In 2014, former Mayor Tim Sbranti and Vice Mayor Abe Gupta served as the City
Council's representatives. As such, Staff requests that the appointment of two Councilmembers
to this committee be discussed and confirmed for a limited term beginning January 2015 and
ending December 2015.
At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur once
per month with a meeting start time of 2:00 pm. 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:
