The group continues to be forward <br />thinking in its work strategies and responsive to issues facing our community. The projects detailed in <br />this work plan are designed to ensure a thorough, deliberative review of important issues in our <br />community that require the attention of the Human Rights Commission and organization. New <br />projects, including integrating a human rights framework, working with the community to build <br />relationships and address needs, and helping the council and City organization address the human <br />rights concerns in our community, are all fundamental parts of this work plan. These new and ongoing <br />projects make for a full and ambitious work plan. However, the commission will accommodate work <br />plan changes as directed by the City Council or as necessary to respond to emerging community <br />concerns. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />February 28, 2009 draft - 8 - <br />
