CEDAR FALLS — The city can move forward with the hiring process for a diversity, equity and inclusion specialist, now that City Council approved the job classification for the brand-new position Monday night.The full-time position had been a recommendation of the Racial Equity Task Force late last year. The person who fills the job will serve as the paid expert requested by the Human Rights Commission so that it can better carry out its mission. Berte beat out two other finalists for the top position, and was recommended as the number one choice by Mayor Rob Green, Administrator Ron Gaines and a selection committee.
