Human Resources The budget of $218,982 is $17,277 more than the previous year and is attributed to salary increases. Ward 1 Councilor Helen Moon asked the Director of Huma Resources Michael Taylor why there is a line item for Diversity and Inclusion when the city is implementing a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department. Taylor said there will still be an element of DEI that falls under his department despite the new office. We re still going to work very collaboratively with this new office, whether it s on recruitment and retention efforts, or it s on professional development, he explained. And instituting the recommendations on that DEI group had a pretty heavy professional development component and training requirement, not just for city employees, also city boards, commissions, elected officials and so forth.
Another Garden Club member, Chris Barkdoll, suggests Caladium and Coleus, a shade loving, multi-colored, leafy ornamental plant that is planted in ground planters in front of the York County Judicial Center. Surrounding these plantings are sweet potato vine that will cover the soil in the big pots and shower over the edges, growing bushy as the summer evolves.
The plantings can be seen on Market, George and Beaver streets. The hanging baskets stretch from Royal Square to the WeCo district, west of the Codorus Creek.
While Downtown Inc. owns the planters, the Garden Club of York pays for the plantings and even contracts for them all to be watered early each morning before the city wakes up. Care will be provided all summer.
