Dublin Pride Week is an annual event that seeks to promote a
positive image for the City of Dublin. The primary objective for Dublin Pride Week is to seek ways to
engage individuals and/or groups in action-based activities to help improve the community. At the
forefront of this effort is the Dublin Pride Week Committee. The Committee is made up of
Councilmembers, City Staff and various community members and community organizations and comes
together to plan and prepare the event. Councilmember participation is a key component of this committee
and the ultimate success of Dublin Pride Week activities. Over the past few years, Dublin Pride Week has
been held starting on the last Saturday in April and continuing through the first Saturday in May. The
committee will decide whether to continue this schedule during its .meetings.
Traditionally, Dublin Pride Week has had two Councilmembers appointed to its committee. In 2008,
Mayor Tim Sbranti and Councilmember Kate Ann Scholz served as the City Council's representatives;
however, their terms of service expire as of December 2008. As such, Staff requests that the appointment
of two Councilmembers to this committee be deliberated and confirmed for a limited term beginning
January 2009 and ending December 2009.
At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur once a month on
a Wednesday, and each meeting starts at 2:00 in the afternoon. Generally, this meeting schedule continues
through the month of February. As Pride Week approaches, more frequent meetings become necessary. As
a result, the Pride Week Committee meets on a bi-weekly basis beginning in March and continues in such
a manner until Pride Week activities begin. Other meetings schedules can be set to meet the needs of
committee members. The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 2:00
p.m.
