Commission approves $1,800 from contingency to print Human Relations Diversity Board brochure
Summary
The Ocoee City Commission unanimously approved $1,800 from the city’s contingency fund to print and distribute a brochure for the Human Relations Diversity Board as requested by the board chair.
The Ocoee City Commission unanimously approved $1,800 from the city’s contingency fund on Jan. 7 to pay for printing and distribution of a brochure produced by the Human Relations Diversity Board.
The request came from Kelly Beck, chair of the Human Relations Diversity Board, who told commissioners the brochure explains the board's role, includes a survey via QR code hosted on the city server, and was intended for insertion in water bills and use at city events. "We are a group of citizens of Ocoee that volunteer our time to promote diversity within the city of Ocoee," Beck said.
Commissioner Kennedy moved to allocate $1,800 from contingency to cover the printing and mailing cost. Commissioner Wilson seconded the motion. After brief discussion about where the amount would come from, the commission voted unanimously to approve the funding.
The board said the brochure will include updated membership and a short infographic drawn from 2020 Census data to show demographic and generational diversity. Beck told the commission extra copies would be made available for outreach at celebrations such as the Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade.
No additional conditions or reporting requirements were attached to the funding in the meeting record. Staff indicated contingency has sufficient funds and will process the allocation through the city’s regular purchasing and printing procedures.
The allocation was handled during the public-comments and citizen-advisory-board portion of the agenda; commissioners moved on to subsequent items after the vote.
