Attachment 3 IMPORTANT NOTES TO CONSIDER 1.The Racial Equity Toolkit (RET) is a reflective tool or guide to assist decision makers in evaluating ideas and proposed solutions with a perspective inclusive of equity. 2.The RET is NOT a test of competence in equity and inclusion, but each question should be thoroughly considered and answered appropriately based on available data, professional expertise, and lived experience. 3.This is a public document. Decision makers should be able to see the rationale from subject matter experts on the best decision with an equitable outcome. The public should know city leaders are diligent in considering underrepresented voices and potential adverse outcomes of decisions. 4.A separate document is available to aide in stakeholder analysis for purposes of community engagement or outreach, as needed. Please see the Equity and Inclusion Manager or Community Relations Manager for assistance. 5.Please seek diverse perspectives on the completion of this document, including your colleagues. The Equity and Inclusion Manager and your Department Head are additional resources that should review this document upon completion. 6.As lessons are learned and/or outcomes are achieved, the RET is a working document that should be updated.
