Tacoma City Council Tuesday confirmed the appointment and re-appointments of three local residents to serve on the 15-member Tacoma Human Rights Commission.
The commission is tasked with studying, investigating, and mediating community issues that may result from prejudice, bigotry, and discrimination. Commission members serve three-year appointments and include representatives of the general public and the employer, labor, religious, racial, ethnic, handicapped, and women’s groups in the city. The commission meets every third Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Tacoma City Hall.
Action taken Tuesday by councilmembers re-appoints Fred Schuneman, and appoints Vazaskia Caldwell and Christina Zinkgraf to three-year terms to expire on Dec. 31, 2016.
