Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 13, 2024 Page 3 Councilmember Schroeder indicated she was going to say something very similar to that where it is very clear but still broad at the same time. She thought that was one thing the Council was hearing very clearly from the different people. They wanted it to be much clearer as to what they were going to be working on. She also liked what was said about making sure this is something that is going to be, will be some passion around it, but then also get a lot of work done, which she thought was another piece. She noted this would help to show the direction better but broad enough for when things come up it will still be under this umbrella. She noted she has been working with the group on this for a while, so she has had an opportunity to look at it a number of times and she does like it. Mayor Roe felt this was very reflective of what the Council heard back through this process. Mr. Montez indicated to the Council’s point of where the specifics will come, he thought that looking at some of the scope and duties, at least on the beginning piece, will be something that continues to evolve as their work grows. He thought regarding the initial piece, the recommendation is that this team focus on supporting the equity and inclusion work plans talked about. There will be one for the entire organization and one that will be a little more specific to the departmental level. Staff is going to continue to pull the SREAP through as equity and inclusion is talked about across this organization. That is where the initial focus would be for this group, to work in those two areas. He noted this is going to be a big project. Mr. Montez indicated there was also discussion about the Equity and Inclusion Action Team, which is going to be a learning and development place for many levels of the organization across every area. He noted staff would like to bring a couple of members along on the journey and embed them in the process in terms of how the City looks at it, how does the City advance, and how does the City focus and lead with an equity and inclusion lens in the City of Roseville. Staff wants the community to be along side them on that journey. At the beginning, those are the three things that he thinks this group should be focused on, how they will embed in the organization. Ms. Olson noted that staff was pretty intentional with the wording used on reviewing and providing feedback. Depending on what group format the Council takes, there may have some legal implications in making sure they understand what that role is. They are to review and provide some feedback. Mayor Roe asked if the departmental equity and inclusion plans that were on top of the arrow diagram are something that either eventually gets into this as well or is one of the things that is an equity and inclusion action team piece. Ms. Olson agreed and explained it is actually the equity and inclusion work plan that was mentioned in the presentation. Qbhf!:2!pg!354
