The biggest action was changing the name of the Commission’s second signature event to make it more inclusive. Staff said the old word choice could be seen as ableist, so the Commission voted to use “Stories of Sunnyvale” instead. The Commission also heard that the community needs assessment is still moving through procurement, so there were no new updates yet. On the study-issue about excused absences for religious holidays, members discussed next steps but did not adopt a policy at this meeting.
