The City of Elk Grove’s commission materials say the Diversity and Inclusion Commission “welcomes, appreciates, and encourages participation” in its meetings. A prior city agenda for the commission says speakers are asked to limit presentations to three minutes per person so all attendees have time to participate. (elkgrovecity.org) The same prior agenda says public records related to an open-session agenda item and distributed fewer than 72 hours before a regular meeting are available for public inspection at the Office of the City Clerk, 8401 Laguna Palms Way, Elk Grove. That language is standard in the commission’s posted meeting documents and indicates the meetings are conducted as public city business. (dev.elkgrovecity.org) ### What does the commission do? The City of Elk Grove has used the Diversity and Inclusion Commission name for a standing advisory body, and city records show the commission reports to the City Council on its work. A December 2024 city council staff report says Chair Tina Lee-Vogt provided the commission’s annual update to council with a visual presentation.
