  • Assisting, advising and consulting with the City Manager, City Council and other city officials on LGBTQ+ issues
  • In coordination with the Talent Development and Training Manager, provide training or arrange for training with an expert for City employees on LGBTQ+ topics, including creating an inclusive workplace for LGBTQ+ employees, and delivering services in an inclusive way, etc.
  • Developing and implementing strategies to address the needs of vulnerable groups within the LGBTQ+ community (e.g. youth, homeless individuals, elders, people living with HIV, transgender or bisexual persons, people of color, etc.)
  • Meeting with business owners, community groups and individuals of the LGBTQ+ community to identify unique needs and solicit feedback on relevant laws, policies and services
  • Serving as a representative of the City government at LGBTQ+ community events

Public Records Request Overview

In order to support faster response and better tracking of requests, the City of Dublin uses JustFOIA to collect, respond to and manage public information requests.

Why JustFOIA?

JustFOIA is a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) online application that helps streamline the open records request process for the community and improve efficiencies in getting requested information quickly and accurately.

The application lets community members submit requests for all city records, including police reports. Commonly requested information includes accident reports, copies of resolutions and body-camera video.

  • Teamwork. We create a climate in which all employees work together and support the individual talents and contributions of team members. We celebrate successes and see mistakes as opportunities for growth; we will never willingly let a member of our team fail.
  • Accountability. We are responsible to our community and each other for our personal and organizational decisions, actions and performance results. We are committed stewards of our City’s assets and resources.
  • Positive Attitude. We focus our efforts on constructive behavior, attitudes and solutions. We promote an environment that people love going to every day – a place where each individual can find a sense of belonging, inspiration, enjoyment and meaning.
