The South Euclid Community Relations Advisory Commission is hereby established to serve in an advisory capacity for the purpose of educating, informing and making recommendations to City officials, departments, boards and commissions on matters relating to community relations within the City of South Euclid in an effort to advance:
(a) Respect for Diversity: Acknowledge we live in a dynamic community with an ever-changing variety of group and individual experiences, and affirm values derived from the understanding of our differences (whether based on age, race, creed, color, religious belief, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, disability, familial status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, recipient of public assistance, ethnic group, military status, or physical characteristic).
(b) Bonds of Mutuality: Recognize the interdependence of our different interests as we work toward serving the common good, and ensure community relations have substantive meaning by acknowledging, as Martin Luther King Jr. stated, "Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly."
(c) Equity: Affirm our commitment to social justice, and assure all groups and individuals have the opportunity to participate fully in civic affairs with equal access to employment, community resources, and decision-making processes.
(Ord. 12-17. Passed 4-9-18.)
