Purpose

The Dublin Veterans Advisory Committee was established to ensure those who served our country and reside within the City of Dublin have a platform to provide City Council and Staff insight regarding the needs of the veteran community. The Veterans Advisory Committee provides City Staff invaluable input regarding annual veteran-related community events, the management and design of the Grounds of Remembrance, and the maintenance of Dublin cemeteries relative to honoring veterans. Additionally, the City of Dublin leverages the perspectives of the Veterans Advisory Committee to inform its strategies regarding veteran engagement efforts and opportunities to uplift the service of our local veterans.

Members

The Veterans Advisory Committee consists of as many community members as Council deems necessary to ensure that all veteran branches and local stakeholders are represented,. Council will strive to appoint one member representing the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. The Chair and Vice Chair can represent any military branch.

Terms of Office

The Veterans Advisory Committee members shall serve staggered two-year terms for a maximum of two consecutive terms.

Organization

The Veterans Advisory Committee elects from its appointed membership a Chair and Vice Chair whose duties include: coordinating meeting agendas and committee support with the assistance of the Staff Liaison, presiding over meetings and serving as the spokesperson of the Veterans Advisory Committee. The Vice Chair serves in the absence of the Chair.

The City Manager or their designee serves as the primary staff liaison and will coordinate any needs of the Committee.  The Clerk of Council or their designee will provide all necessary administrative support. Additional City of Dublin staff members will attend regular meetings to inform the committee and participate in discussions as necessary.

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.

  • Communication. We maintain an environment in which employees feel free to share ideas and information. We promote open interaction throughout the organization to ensure knowledge and understanding among all employees and our community.
  • 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.
  • Dedication to Service. We pursue innovation and continuous improvement in all we do. We are committed to efficient, effective and responsive service delivery that makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.
