The Chandler City Council will have a work session Sept. 22 where results from a monthslong diversity, equity and inclusion assessment will be presented.
The assessment comes after Chandler City Council issued a unity proclamation this summer and council directed staff to get more feedback from the community on diversity, equity and inclusion in Chandler. The conversation was sparked as nearly every other Valley city issued an ordinance offering further protection to often marginalized communities. The Chandler City Council opted to issue a proclamation—which serves more as a statement, whereas an ordinance that would provide residents protection from discrimination and create some sort of legal repercussions to defying the ordinance.
The council will discuss the findings at the Sept. 22 work session. Work sessions are largely to provide a place for discussion among the City Council and to ask questions of the outside firm that conducted the assessment. No action will be taken during the work session.
