Roseville Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement <br />Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />April 17, 2019 ITEM: 7 <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION:Strategic Racial Equity Action Plan Update <br />Background <br />The City became part of the 2018 Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) Cohort in <br />January 2018. The Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) is a national network of <br />governments working to achieve racial equity and advance opportunities for all. The GARE <br />Leadership team uses curriculum, expertise of practitioners and academia to share a field of <br />practice to approach complex race issues and help governments take effective action toward <br />racial equity. <br />The City of Roseville identified 14 employees across all departments and levels to participate in <br />the yearlong cohort. The Roseville GARE team attended several hours of training and education, <br />learned how to utilize a Racial Equity Toolkit <br />project regarding snowplowing. In addition, the team developed a Racial Equity Narrative that <br />was presented to the City Council in May 2018, which outlines how the organization can make a <br />commitment to racial equity. <br />The GARE team has also been working to develop a strategic Racial Equity Action Plan that will <br />build staff capacity, and outline meaningful and measurable results that will move the <br />organization toward racial equity. The goal of this Racial Equity Action Plan is institutional and <br />structural change. Staff will review the key components of the Action Plan. <br />Recommendation <br />Attachments <br />Racial Equity Narrative <br />Powerpoint <br />Draft Action Plan <br /> <br />
