C. FORMATION OF AN AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE TO EXPLORE POLICIES AND\nPROGRAMS TO SUPPORT THE SAN GABRIEL LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY\nDuring the City Council meeting on April 16, 2024, the City Council directed\nstaff to schedule an agenda item for the creation of an ad hoc subcommittee\nto discuss matters related to the San Gabriel LGBTQ+ community. The topics\nfor discussion could include items such as how to recognize Pride Month in San\nGabriel and to explore any programs or policies that the City could implement\nto support the San Gabriel LGBTQ+ community. This agenda item describes the\nparameters that guide an ad hoc subcommittee, considers the appointment of\ntwo City Councilmembers to a new ad hoc subcommittee, and proposes the\nfocus of the new Ad Hoc Subcommittee. There is no fiscal impact associated\nwith a discussion and creation of a City Council subcommittee, other than the\nstaff time involved in supporting the subcommittee. Any future\nrecommendations made to the City Council by the subcommittee will be\nanalyzed for fiscal impact at the time they are considered by the City Council.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the Mayor appoint two Councilmembers to serve on a\nCouncil ad hoc subcommittee until recommendations are forwarded to the full\nCouncil or December 31, 2024, whichever comes first, to make\nrecommendations to the full Council on potential programs and policies to\nsupport the City’s LGBTQ+ community.\nIn addition to the recommended actions, the City Council has the following\noptions:\n1. Decide to create a standing subcommittee instead of an ad hoc\nsubcommittee and appoint two members to review all future items\nrelated to the City’s LGBTQ+ community.\n2. Decide not to create a subcommittee at this time.\n3. Some other action that the City Council decides based upon discussion\nat the meeting.
