Agenda
Pursuant to the City Council Meeting Rules adopted by Resolution No. 23976, the Members of the Committee and the public are reminded that they must preserve order and decorum throughout the Meeting. In that regard, Members of the Committee and the public are advised that any delay or disruption in the proceedings or a refusal to obey the orders of the Committee or the presiding officer constitutes a violation of these rules.
The City of Riverside is committed to fostering a respectful workplace that requires all employees and external stakeholders to embrace a culture of transparency and inclusivity. This includes acceptable behavior from everyone; a workplace that provides dignity, respect, and civility to our employees, customers, and the public they serve. City meetings should be a place where all members of our community feel safe and comfortable to participate. While there could be a high level of emotion associated with topics on this agenda, the City would like to set the expectation that all members of the public use language appropriate to a collaborative, professional, and respectful public environment.
The City is resolute in its commitment to eliminate any form of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation in the workplace. The City maintains a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in compliance with new harassment and discrimination laws.
