BoardCity of Waverly Human Equity and Diversity Commission Minutes
The commission reviewed the success of the Sunset PRIDE Glow Float event and coordinated plans for the upcoming Juneteenth celebration. Updates were provided on the Social Loneliness and Isolation Project and a recent book club review. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the implications of House File 856, which restricts diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in public entities. Consequently, the commission deliberated on various strategies for its future viability, including potential restructuring, renaming, or partnering with the Chamber of Commerce. Other topics included the distribution of 'Black Iowa News' and considerations for revamping a public survey.
