Votes at a glance: DEI Commission approves minutes, excuses member and reschedules June meeting
Summary
The Mountlake Terrace DEI Commission approved the April 17 meeting minutes, moved to excuse Commissioner Matsuda and voted to reschedule the June meeting to June 24; council also unanimously amended DEI commission rules to add a high-school seat.
At the start of the meeting the commission handled several procedural actions.
- The commission moved to excuse Commissioner Matsuda; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. - The April 17 meeting minutes were moved, seconded and approved by the commission. - Commissioners discussed the June meeting date and on motion moved and seconded to reschedule the June meeting to June 24; the motion was approved.
Separately, the commission’s city liaison reported that the City Council unanimously approved an amendment to the DEI commission language to specifically call out a high-school student as one of the commissioners. That council action was reported to the commission by the liaison; the council vote itself occurred at a council meeting and was described as unanimous in the liaison’s report.
Why it matters: these procedural votes establish the commission’s meeting schedule and quorum expectations and notify members of a council-level change affecting the commission’s membership and recruitment.
