Co-chairs: Vice Mayor Munro and Council Member Carling (on Jan. 25, 2021, Mayor Woerner, former co-chair of this Subcommittee, appointed Council Member Carling to serve in his place)

Read the Subcommittee's 12/13/2020 letter to the Livermore Community about equity and inclusion. Mayor Woerner and Vice Mayor Munro each issued community letters on 12/17/2020.

Enable equity and inclusion in Livermore through diverse community engagement that will result in a welcoming city, exemplified by equity of opportunity and just treatment for all.

1. Develop our vision for the future that will ensure equitable public safety and next steps for quickly and efficiently closing the gaps compared to our current state.
2. Develop and implement short-, mid-, and long-range plans, focusing on completing high priority action items in a timely manner by leveraging the current momentum to act.
3. Measure and report on progress regularly and transparently (publicly available and easily accessible) and validate through internal and external auditing.

Purpose: The Equity and Inclusion working group will provide information to the City Council Equity and Inclusion Subcommittee to help it refine its scope of work and to define objectives and measures of success as outlined in the Subcommittee's framework. No prior experience is required.

Membership: The working group will be comprised of community members 16 years of age or older who reside or work in Livermore.

Time Commitment: The working group will meet approximately two to three times per month for up to one year. The working group will meet more frequently as they begin their work and will then be expected to perform outreach to gain additional community input.
