McKinney mayor considering forming diversity council, community task force

Fuller said his goal is to adopt a similar council structure for the mayor’s advisory council. The criteria for his council is to select people whose goal would be to have a unified, diverse community and who are community-centered, he said. This group would provide a perspective from the minority communities in the city, Fuller said.

“My criteria will be, ‘Who's engaged in the community, and who do I feel has got the community as their No. 1 priority?’” Fuller said.

The community diversity task force is an initiative that will have to be council-driven, Fuller said. City Council should be engaged in the process of selecting members of the task force, as they are elected by the community and can reflect their selection, he said.

Discussions are still taking place regarding both of these groups, Fuller said. He encouraged people to come to City Council meetings and be involved to learn more about how the city is working to engage all members of the community.
