Question 4: Equity & Inclusion

Official ballot wording

Should a nine-member LGBTQIA+ Commission be established to advise the Mayor, City Council, and City agencies on matters affecting the LGBTQIA+ community and recommend policies, programs, and legislation promoting social, economic, and political equality?

Official explanation

Present situation: The Charter establishes several advisory boards and commissions to provide recommendations on specific public policy issues but does not establish a commission dedicated to advising the City on matters affecting the LGBTQIA+ community. If proposal passes: The Charter would establish a nine-member LGBTQIA+ Commission to advise the Mayor, City Council, and City agencies on issues affecting LGBTQIA+ residents. The Commission would be authorized to recommend policies, legislation, programs, and administrative actions, serve as a liaison between the community and City government, and employ staff as necessary to carry out its responsibilities.
