Members of the City’s new Community Inclusion and Engagement Commission (CIEC), along with City and consulting staff, presented the CIEC’s Strategic Plan at Monday’s joint City Council/CIEC work session.   

Crafted over the past several months with guidance from the City Council and Ramsee Consulting Group, the plan includes a mission, vision, role, goals and strategies that will help the nine-member Commission move forward with its work.  

The CIEC “provides diverse perspectives and meaningful input to the City Council on initiatives that promote inclusivity, strengthen community connections and enhance stakeholder engagement, while also fulfilling additional duties as directed to ensure every voice in our diverse community is valued and heard.”   

Goal strategies identified in the draft plan include:  

  • Improve communications messaging and channels  
  • Improve overall accessibility to the City 
  • Foster an increased sense of community  
  • Build knowledge and trust in City services  
  • Identify and/or create opportunities for sharing, engaging and connecting 
  • Establish commission standard operating procedures and success metrics
