The commission finalized and sent a revised comment letter with its suggestions about City Council-appointed advisory bodies to the Council committee that handles community livability and public safety. That means the commission’s recommendations will be reviewed by the City Council committee, but no city policy changes occur until the Council acts. The meeting also included routine approvals and brief reports from commissioners who attended a local diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) summit.
