Mayor and Members of Council and Members of the Human Rights Commission,
A number of you have received emails in recent days regarding a request for a ceasefire resolution to be placed on an upcoming City Council and/or HRC meeting agenda. Staff has been responding to these requests as we've received them or are being informed of them. We are letting individuals know that the City has a practice of not considering items that do not directly impact the City and/or are outside the governance jurisdiction of the City Council. If you have received any of these requests, please forward them on to me (and Claudia if it's an HRC request) and we will respond to the individuals if we have not yet done so. Please also be aware that at least one of the individuals who requested this resolution has inquired about speaking during the Open Public Comments portion of the City Council and/or HRC meetings.
o The Communications department is continuously working towards updating all of our websites and other communications tools.
