Title
Discussion on Municipal Identification Ordinance Amendment Request.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield Human Rights Commission is asked to recommend action to City Council on the format of names on the Municipal ID.
Summary Report:
HRC Chair Valdecantos is requesting that the name format on the Municipal ID be changed from “preferred name” to “name” and that it be moved to the top line of the ID (see sample attached). The line that includes “legal name” will stay the same. As the term “preferred name” is used in the ordinance (Ord No 994 Sec 2-18, definitions) a change to ordinance language will be required.
