Commissioner Connor, who chairs the committee, said members brainstormed existing reporting mechanisms and the confusion that sometimes prevents people from reporting incidents. \"Part of the issue...is resources that already exist but not everyone knows about because they're in various places and aren't all linked together,\" Connor said.

The committee reviewed city police reporting options, the California Civil Rights Department reporting form and other university and nonprofit reporting channels, noting that community members sometimes prefer non-police reporting pathways. The committee discussed trade-offs, including privacy, confidentiality and what, if any, aggregate reporting or public summaries exist from each outlet. Connor said the committee’s recommended first step is to post an organized list of reporting options on the HRC webpage that distinguishes police-affiliated forms from non-police options and explains, where known, how reports are used.

Commissioners and public commenters also raised concerns about what records and public data might result from compiling reports; one commenter cautioned about potential reputational impacts if unvetted allegations became publicly accessible. The committee said it will include notes about confidentiality and what complainants should expect, and will coordinate with city staff and partner agencies to clarify follow-up procedures.

The subcommittee also discussed coordination with local schools and student outreach, including links that would be useful for Davis Joint Unified School District students. Committee members proposed future steps that could include creating a local reporting form or improving feedback loops so reporters learn how their submissions were handled.

Staff will work with the committee to prepare suggested webpage text for commission review at a future meeting.","A subcommittee recommended compiling police and non-police reporting options on the Human Relations Commission webpage and clarifying what happens to reports to encourage reporting and guide complainants.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6359692,"Human Relations Commission sets timeline and nomination rules for Tomáh‑Kái Winn awards",107,1534000,1641000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2176183-9c2c5223f424c8a3fe1453c565b2d789&start=1534&end=1641","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2176183-9c2c5223f424c8a3fe1453c565b2d789/thumbnail_1534000.jpg","/articles/6359692/Davis/Yolo-County/California/Human-Relations-Commission-sets-timeline-and-nomination-rules-for-TomáhKái-Winn-awards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6359692-3425245e3a024fd22ca32a762a559367/orig.mp4?Expires=1775392048&Signature=AJ2E~3hhBwJseiglZ2mkY0gXalk34V7NYy1kxeT-0Ze-kHtkN-XE4tDN4Zg1djaHj8gaxaa6Xkyi4jgkwRVa7dNHAXqHTP1U2ouQ5jblERIIo7rrfZv8ffzZEOGYrngcuVMSJYwuzLS0jGlKVFF8iZM6YsjKDxzoPVtIT6Qx5mb7HcsxiZ3Py2nwc6UWIZFpBFbXg-RSAVOo-mtRs3sU44sswRmo51MmkRagxH89D9gQ94YxgwvpOwDhlmZr5Ct8StWYJXwe4pp-5ocErylqnT6priBju-AP7txoQ3qBu7Smz0u-otmO92AcErBIRrHU3J7vdSGxbwm5u2JET3dIjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis Human Relations Commission on Jan. 23 approved the nomination categories, guidelines and timeline for the annual Tomáh‑Kái Winn awards and authorized staff to open the nomination period and begin community outreach.

City staff presented the proposed schedule and nomination materials, and commissioners discussed minor wording and process questions before voting to move forward. Under the approved plan, nominations will open in early February, remain open through March 17 and the awards will be presented at a city-council meeting in May.

Carrie, the staff liaison, said the process used in 2023 and 2024 reduced the number of categories to three (under-18, over-18 and community/organization) to increase the likelihood of a strong pool of nominees per category. \"Part of the update was purposely to make fewer broad categories precisely because there were some questions and concerns around getting enough nominees for each of the several very specific categories,\" Carrie said.

Commissioners asked procedural questions about how nominations are distributed to subcommittee reviewers and what the full commission sees. Carrie said the subcommittee will review nominations and the commission will receive a summary in its meeting packet about a week before the March 27 meeting; full nomination materials will be summarized rather than included in entirety.

Several commissioners offered drafting suggestions to clarify pronouns and conflict-of-interest language in the form; the commission directed staff to update language to use gender-neutral pronouns and to add city-council members to the list of officials who should not nominate family members or close partners. Commissioner Kevin Baker moved to approve the materials; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

The commission also agreed to form a nomination-review subcommittee. Commissioners discussed membership and noted that an absent returning member, Edgar, had offered to serve; the commission deferred finalizing the subcommittee roster until the February meeting to give Edgar a chance to confirm. Staff will publish a press release and post nomination information on city channels when the application period opens.

Commissioners and staff emphasized outreach to broaden nominations and asked staff to share a feedback email after the event to gather suggestions for next year.","The commission approved categories, timeline and a nomination-review process for the annual Tomáh‑Kái Winn awards and authorized staff to begin outreach; a subcommittee will review nominations.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6359697,"Human Relations Commission forms committee on sanctuary-city protections and immigrant safety",0,6399000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2176183-9c2c5223f424c8a3fe1453c565b2d789&start=6399&end=6399","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2176183-9c2c5223f424c8a3fe1453c565b2d789/thumbnail_6399000.jpg","/articles/6359697/Davis/Yolo-County/California/Human-Relations-Commission-forms-committee-on-sanctuary-city-protections-and-immigrant-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6359697-ca3e6c7defd65841a0c89a96d5bab95e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775392048&Signature=hy9L7bw7NY4nQDDju7ylR~rJ0Rc3Hfgb678CBK9TbL2kCwb9Xu-uKrVDwnD4oxBhJ4UIEAvTHr6DwAXbyGGgSdNVB~dtRgWwKy7n998qdfmj4hdQtU4ZuI8XI7PWV-uqkSDycfiHcxzrpX63Ku9770x98og06L50kz7yKnzYVEaRc6IDFUS1IPkKcqyfsn0m-zR4Kofrbjaf-kcliqyckcCbHGkOB~N12E6bkDkORY00U8fNek6Btcxw3K37tAGGameY-c8lMbdtmDKDTRK9yZGjQHtJAvKjRxK0zZZ0XnP0zC~x2kH2HOxmwS7ROLi3szEbBKZngdwgqh0dyNAqoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis Human Relations Commission on Jan. 23 approved creation of a subcommittee to review the city’s sanctuary policy and related measures to protect immigrant residents.

Commissioners said the topic is \"multifaceted\" and urged the new working group to consider both policy language and practical planning, including coordination with community organizations, schools, houses of worship and UC Davis.

\"This involves the threats that immigration officials and the administration have made, not only with respect to places that have been off limits for raids, schools, places of worship, etc.,\" Chair Kevin Baker said in opening remarks, calling for broad consideration of policy and community response.

Commissioners discussed specific tasks the subcommittee could pursue, such as: reviewing current city sanctuary language, examining whether city practices (for example, recordkeeping or staff procedures) should be adjusted, exploring coordination with local institutions, and identifying outreach and education steps. Commissioner Felix and others raised operational ideas, including helping institutions develop plans should enforcement appear in public spaces and facilitating cross-institutional planning.

Several commissioners volunteered to serve on the subcommittee. The commission appointed Lainie Felix, Connor and Kate (last name not specified in transcript) and Edgar (absent but expected to participate) to the working group and recorded the motion to create the committee as carried.

The commission said the subcommittee should consult community organizers and existing local groups already engaged on immigrant-rights work and return recommendations to the commission for potential referral to city council.

No budget or council action is required to create the working group; however, the commission noted that formal endorsements or city-sponsored events emerging from the group would require council review and approval.","The commission created a subcommittee to review Davis policy and to develop actions to protect immigrants and coordinate community response should enforcement activity increase.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6359702,"Davis Human Relations Commission approves draft civil-rights ordinance for city review",828,2303000,3131000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2176183-9c2c5223f424c8a3fe1453c565b2d789&start=2303&end=3131","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2176183-9c2c5223f424c8a3fe1453c565b2d789/thumbnail_2303000.jpg","/articles/6359702/Davis/Yolo-County/California/Davis-Human-Relations-Commission-approves-draft-civil-rights-ordinance-for-city-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6359702-302e8fc82beef4831065bd2f2e3fed8d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775392048&Signature=XAbj0WbhmPcrscFwYYa4xIdOrG~6IJGmLpq~rdFVBQYP3-EB0q8lVZxZzL8SMU5fKK1ixrzoQYzzNWY54C9uryPZb6zfFqNA7XmqpbBDEVJ-hIhCl0DZFKYMsm96TzNZBakbsTkiRna2qkrTAeXkpRmFbVDD-~hV6djpWGUsWTBEe7wbFikaIvuJnWrq~nr5RLPWvU~zP2tEqBpe-faXpuMm5JxivXNWRl1hcDwaH7ci3itBIqVZ1wBEp1t32svlQkCpcnDyeCMYpDhxt4v0NahLsvD4PahKHnW-TIGqXrQrZs8GsjrSh-35TIYSTeqjDp1GgsNCFoRMAn3K8d1HKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Davis Human Relations Commission voted Jan. 23 to forward a proposed update to the city’s civil-rights ordinance to the city clerk and city council for review.

Commissioners said the draft is intended to bring the city ordinance into alignment with current state civil-rights protections and to avoid the appearance that the city’s code lags behind state law. The commission discussed the proposal at length before voting to transmit the draft.

The commission’s memo and draft ordinance replace an enumerated list of protected classes with a cross-reference to protections recognized under state law, language commission members said is meant to keep the city ordinance current without repeatedly revising municipal code. \"The intention was to change the fewest number of words that would accomplish the goal of making the city's ordinance harmonious with the state civil-rights laws,\" Carrie (city staff) told commissioners. \"We took the minimalist approach because anything more than that might be controversial,\" she said.

Commissioners debated whether the draft should instead list protected categories explicitly so protections would remain clear if federal law changes. \"I might feel better if it really did list all the groups we know we want to protect here in Davis rather than just saying the groups the state and federal government says are protected classes,\" Commissioner Connor said during discussion. Other commissioners responded that listing state protections, and omitting a federal reference if desired, would be a practical way to keep the ordinance current.

The draft includes the proposed ordinance text and explanatory footnotes prepared by the subcommittee that reviewed the code. Commission members thanked Edgar Wang Chen and Ellie for drafting and reviewing the language.

During public comment, Sawyer Baugh, a Davis high school student, urged the commission to ensure students are educated about their rights in light of recent federal action affecting gender-identity policies. \"At a time like this, it's super important that we educate people and provide reassurances to our student body that we will protect them... in California and in Davis regardless of what is happening at a federal level,\" Sawyer said.

After discussion, Commissioner Dima moved and Commissioner Amir seconded that the commission forward the proposed ordinance text to the city clerk and city council. The commission recorded the motion as carried.

The commission noted the submission is an early step in a longer municipal process: the draft will be routed through the city clerk’s office and then placed on a city-council agenda for consideration, with further edits possible during that process.

Commission staff said the approach taken was deliberately modest — to equalize local code with state protections — while preserving the commission’s ability to recommend future additions if the council desires.

The commission requested that staff coordinate with the city clerk about the best procedural path and return with any clerks’ guidance on how the city council will receive the draft.

If the council directs edits or requests more detail, the commission will consider follow-up recommendations at a later meeting.","The Human Relations Commission voted to forward a revised civil-rights ordinance aligning the city code with California state law to the city clerk and city council for review and potential adoption.","actionData","errors"]
