DEI Task Force adopts its work plan and forms a youth subcommittee.
The official August 10 recording documents two unanimous actions. It also captures a request for timely voter information, while the written action record for this meeting remains pending.
The five-member Pacific Grove Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force unanimously approved a 2026–27 work plan Monday and then unanimously appointed two members to a Youth Advisory Group subcommittee. The official recording became available Tuesday afternoon; MyPG.news reviewed its platform transcript against the city's amended agenda packet.
The adopted plan continues work on identifying groups serving underrepresented residents, building metrics to monitor change, developing a land and ancestral peoples acknowledgment and scheduling presentations from relevant organizations. It also adds work toward a possible youth advisory group. The Task Force is advisory: the work plan does not itself enact a city law, create a youth board or authorize spending.
