Submi ed By Administrative Analyst anager Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. g •'3 ~/ 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. Over the past few years, Dublin Pride Week has been held starting on the last Saturday in April and continuing through the first Saturday in May. The committee will decide whether to continue this schedule during its meetings. Traditionally, Dublin Pride Week has had two Councilmembers appointed to its committee. In 2009, Vice Mayor Kasie Hildenbrand and Councilmember Kate Ann Scholz served as the City Council's representatives; however, their terms of service expire as of December 2009. As such, Staff requests that the appointment of two Councilmembers to this committee be deliberated and confirmed for a limited term beginning January 2010 and ending December 2010. At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur once a month on a Thursday, and each meeting starts at 2:00 in the afternoon. 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 continues in such a manner until Pride Week activities begin. Other meetings schedules can be set to meet the needs of committee members. The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None ATTACHMENTS: None Page 2 of 2
