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. Last year, Dublin Pride Week was held
starting on the first Saturday in May and continuing through the second Saturday, in conjunction
with the kickoff of the Dublin Farmers' Market. The committee will decide whether to continue
this schedule during its meetings.

Traditionally, two City Councilmembers have been appointed to serve on the Dublin Pride Week
Committee. In 2011, Mayor Tim Sbranti and Councilmember Don Biddle served as the City
Council's representatives; however, their terms of service on the Committee expire as of
December 2011. As such, Staff requests that the appointment of two Councilmembers to this
committee be deliberated and confirmed for a limited term beginning January 2012 and ending
December 2012.
At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur once a
month on a Thursday, 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 often become necessary. As a result, the Pride Week Committee may meet 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 Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
