DESCRIPTION:
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 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, two City Councilmembers have been appointed to serve on the Dublin Pride Week
Committee. In 2013, Vice Mayor Don Biddle and Councilmember David Haubert served as the
City Council’s representatives; however, their terms of service on the Committee expire as of
December 2013. As such, Staff requests that the appointment of two Councilmembers to this
committee be deliberated and confirmed for a limited term beginning January 2014 and ending
December 2014.
At the current time, Pride Week Committee Meetings are tentatively scheduled to occur once a
month on a Tuesday with each meeting starting 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 continue in such a manner until Pride Week activities
begin. Other meetings schedules can be set to meet the needs of committee members.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
None.
ATTACHMENTS:
