A. REPORTS/ACTION ITEMS

1. CalPERS Israel and Israel-Palestine Conflict Investments

The Eureka City Council is discussing whether or not to request that CalPERS, a retirement system, consider divesting from investments related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. This has raised ethical concerns in the community. The City of Eureka does not control CalPERS investments, but they are stakeholders. The Council is discussing sending a formal letter to CalPERS requesting a review and potential divestment.
