Fargo City Commissioner Kolpack seeks return on diversity, equity, and inclusion investment

(Fargo, ND) -- Fargo City Commissioner Denise Kolpack says she wants to make sure the city is getting a return on investments made in diversity, equity and inclusion.

"When you look at the makeup of our staff, we have a ways to go to reflect the diversity of our community. Having said that there is a robust practice in hiring where it's based on the qualifications of the candidate coming in," said Kolpack. 

While appearing on the Flag's "What's on Your Mind", Kolpack acknowledged frustration in getting her questions answered by the city's DEI Director, Dr. Terry Hogan, when it comes to performance.   

Hogan has recently expressed a desire for additional staffing for his office.
