RFP for City of Roseville Recycling Services • 3 2 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion The City strongly values racial equity and inclusion. All proposals should reflect this in how services are proposed to be performed.

The City’s DEI policy statement states: The City of Roseville is committed to taking tangible steps to normalize, organize, and operationalize racial equity principles and tools, with an eye toward impactful and sustainable outcomes that create a more equitable community. 2.1 Racial Equity Racial equity is when race can no longer be used to predict success and outcomes for all groups are improved. 2.1.1 Background In 2018, a team of 14 Roseville staff members representing every department at the City participated in a year-long racial equity training. The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) and the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) facilitated the program. Race is consistently a primary indicator of a person’s success and wellness in society and government has historically played a role in creating barriers and inequities. These actions have created racial disparities that continue to harm our community. Rectifying these disparities is critical to the development of a vibrant community and a high quality of life for all residents. 2.1.2 Goals The City of Roseville is dedicated to creating an inclusive community where the predictability of success is not based on race or ethnicity. To accomplish this goal, all City departments will prioritize racial equity in their planning, delivery, and evaluation of programs, policies, and services. The City of Roseville is committed to taking tangible steps to normalize, organize, and implement racial equity principles and tools, with an eye toward impactful and sustainable outcomes that create a more equitable community. The City’s Racial Equity Action Plan is included as part of this RFP packet as Attachment E. The goal in this Action Plan is that “All people of Roseville are welcomed, included and The City of Roseville strives to be a welcoming and inclusive place for all.
