1. Attached is the draft resolution regarding the Community Covenant Program that was discussed during the February 1st announcements.
B. For Your Information
1. Attached are the documents regarding the Community Covenant Program that was discussed during the February 1, 2011 announcements.
Does the Council approve the DRAFT resolution or have any suggested changes? Ms. Gust-Jenson said staff had received positive feedback from four Council Members. She said the resolution would be scheduled on a Council evening and some families would be invited to be recognized by the Council and then at a later date there would be a large public event where we would have a nice celebration with a military band, etc. but that would not occur at the Council meeting. Councilmember Christensen said the Gallivan was looking at a couple of opportunities in working with them.
2. County Council Member Jani Iwamoto is requesting the Council’s support of a resolution regarding continuing the Office of Ethnic Affairs at the State. Staff has confirmed that the Mayor’s Office and legislative staff are supportive. This would be added to the Council’s February 15th agenda.
Does the Council approve of the resolution and language? Ms. Gust-Jenson said the Administration was supportive and asked Council Members to give feedback to staff over the next couple of days and if there was enough Council support, it would be scheduled on February 15th. Councilmember Garrott said the resolution should be based on what the office did regarding services and what kind of burden would the City/County experience if those services went away.
