The Los Gatos Town Council voted to establish a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission at its Sept. 19 meeting that will be responsible for enacting policies and procedures to make Los Gatos a more welcoming place.Discussions about establishing the 11-member commission went late into the night Tuesday as councilmembers tried to define the scope and purpose of the new commission’s work.“We have heard from our community members that this is how we get started,” Councilmember Rob Moore said. “Los Gatos currently has a reputation–an indisputable reputation in some parts of the Bay Area–for being a place that is not inclusive, and voting against the creation of this commission will only further that reputation.”“I think the way we’re going to get tangible results is through establishing this committee,” Mayor Maria Ristow said.Los Gatos has taken steps to make the town a more welcoming place following incidents over the past few years like a far-right group whose members harassed cou...
