<br />Racial Equity Tool Kit via e-mail for the Commission to fill out prior to next month’s Commission <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The six areas that are reviewed as part of the GARE Racial Equity Tool Kit include: <br /> Objective: What is the desired result of what is being proposed? <br /> Data: What data is relevant? Who does the data tell us in the impacted group? <br /> Engagement: How are you most affected communities targeted? Must be a planned and thorough <br />approach. <br /> Analysis: How will the proposal increase or decrease racial equity? What are the potential <br />unintended consequences? Does the objective, impacts and engagement plan align? <br /> Implementation: What is the plan? Is it realistic? Adequately resourced including personnel? <br /> Accountability: How will actual impacts be evaluated/addressed? What is the communication <br />strategy? How can we leverage inroads made in the process into the future? <br /> <br />The Human Rights Inclusion and Engagement Commission (HRIEC) has also put together an <br />Engagement Best Practices (draft) document that has been presented to the City Council. This <br />document has valuable points on community engagement that should be remembered during this <br />project: <br /> <br />Quality Engagement… <br /> Ensures quality decision making <br /> Engages community members who are impacted <br /> Creates broader diversity of opinions/views prior to decision making <br /> Increases public understanding/support of the process <br /> <br />Engagement Best Practice: <br /> Be intentional about engagement and outreach (utilize planning tools) <br /> Identify existing assets and leverage them for effective engagement <br /> Go where the people are (will need to be creative with this during Covid-19) <br /> <br />The staff proposed process for this project could potentially include the following steps: <br /> Process conversation – Oct. 6 <br />o Commissioner input (due by Oct. 13) <br /> Process developed/presented based on feedback – Nov. 3 <br /> City Council input – Nov. 30 <br /> Process revision and/or finalization – TBD (based on the City Council’s input) <br /> Implementation and assessment <br /> <br />The Commission discussed the origin of the current name and the request to change the name. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
