Research creating law requiring translation services in 3 languages
Police & Community Safety
In Plain English
Richmond currently provides translation inconsistently across city meetings and events. City staff will research costs and logistics for standardizing translation services in the 3 most common non-English languages. If approved later, translation would be required at council meetings, community forums, and city event materials.
