Summary
The commission approved minutes from Feb. 20, discussed skipping the June meeting amid vacancies, coordinated outreach for heritage-month proclamations, and received updates on Pride participation, Juneteenth events and library working-group projects including a 'book ecosystem' pilot.
The Commission on Diversity Awareness approved minutes from its Feb. 20 meeting by voice vote after a motion to approve was made and seconded.
Members discussed skipping the June meeting unless new applications fill current vacancies. On proclamations, commissioners agreed to create a shared spreadsheet of community contacts to identify groups that could accept proclamations on Jewish Heritage Month and Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month; staff noted city council deadlines and a staff-summary due date tied to May agenda scheduling.
The commission also discussed participating in community events: members proposed walking or decorating a truck for the Pride parade on June 20 and noted Juneteenth celebrations at Heritage Square and the Southside Murdoch Center that same weekend. Commissioners agreed to keep participation plans as a standing discussion item and to coordinate through staff (Georgiana).
Working-group reports included the Rainbow Crosswalk group’s effort to remobilize after volunteer fatigue, and the Library working group’s report on an ASL bilingual storytime series, a planned drag story hour, an LGBTQ+ oral-history grant submission to the Arizona Community Foundation, and a proposed book-access pilot aimed at ages 4–9 in areas such as Tuba City.
No further formal actions were taken at the meeting, and the chair adjourned at 2:48 p.m.
