Discussion of Social Service Human Relations Board Work Plan
Body
To: Honorable President Sarah Lewis and Members of the Social Service Human Relations Board
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the September 22, 2022 of the Social Service Human Relations Board (SSHRB), Board members agreed to begin a discussion of its 2023 Work Plan at its October and December meetings. At the December 1 SSHRB meeting, Board President Lewis will lead a discussion for the creation of a 2023 Work Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City of Alameda's Municipal Code (AMC) describes that one of the duties of SSHRB is to adopt a plan for the performance of its delineated functions "with advice and consent of the City Council."
The 2022 Work Plan focused on developing a Community Needs Assessment (CNA) and addressing human relations concerns relevant to creating a welcoming community for all residents, as well as continuing to oversee existing City of Alameda (City) initiatives. SSHRB approved the 2022 Work Plan at its March 24, 2022 meeting. The City Council subsequently reviewed and approved the Work Plan on April 19, 2022.
DISCUSSION
At the September 22, 2022 SSHRB meeting, Board members agreed to begin a discussion of its 2023 Work Plan at its October and December meetings. However, at the October 27 meeting due to limited time, the Board agreed to table the discussion of the new Work Plan to its December meeting. The discussion among the Board members may cover:
* What interested them in joining SSHRB and what priorities they wish to address;
* The SSHRB's various community roles and responsibilities, such as: overseeing and commenting on City programs, as requested; and sponsoring community events and engagement initiatives to raise awareness and bring community members together; and
* The next steps to complete the Community Needs Assessment.
