Traditionally, two City Councilmembers have been appointed to serve on the Dublin Pride Week
Committee. In 2015, Councilmembers Don Biddle and Doreen Wehrenberg served as the City
Council's representatives. As such, Staff requests that the appointment of two Councilmembers
to this committee be discussed and confirmed for a limited term beginning January 2016 and
ending December 2016. At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively
scheduled to occur once per month with a meeting start time of 2:00 pm. Generally, this meeting
schedule continues through the month of March. 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 continue in such a manner until Pride Week activities
begin. Other meetings schedules can be set to meet the needs of committee members.
