February 25, 2022 — Members of Ukiah’s Diversity and Equity Committee learned about state and federal programs to pay down utility bills for customers whose accounts fell into arrears during the pandemic. They also heard about existing practices to communicate with people who don’t speak English, and made suggestions for improving communications in general.

Committee members also examined a posting for a job advertised by the city, and mulled over ways to make it more inviting to racial minorities and people with disabilities.
