Renton
OVERVIEW
From Preeti Shridhar, Deputy Public Affairs Administrator, City of Renton
The City of Renton began their Inclusion work several years ago around Community Outreach. Since
then, they have accomplished several things:
• Adding Inclusion as part of their Business Plan's mission statement and goals
• While the program is coordinated by the Mayor's office, it is really integrated into every
department and all of their services
• They have a strong community partnership with members representing various
communities that are part of the Mayors Inclusion Task Force. (This is similar to but not
quite the same as the community liaison model that Tukwila has used in the past.)
• They have also established a strong relationship with the African-American community
working through the local clergy, with an emphasis on law enforcement. Recently this
partnership has expanded to working with African-American youth and they are
currently looking at building a similar partnership with the Latino community
• They recently had the first Renton Multicultural Festival, which was a big success. They
hope to build on this.
• They have added a significant emphasis on looking at their internal systems, policies
and procedures, and training. They are also looking at working with regional partners
to leverage their opportunities and expand their capabilities.
MAYOR'S INCLUSION TASK FORCE
http://rentonwa.gov/government/default.aspx?id=42758
As one of the most diverse cities in the greater Seattle/Puget Sound area, the City of Renton
is committed to being an inclusive city with opportunities for all and building connections
with ALL communities, especially limited or non-English speaking residents and ethnic
groups. The city has created a network of community leaders representing various ethnic,
cultural and diverse groups, and has integrated the importance of diversity into all its
programs and services.
Renton's leaders and elected officials have made it a priority to embrace the diversity in the
city and have taken a number of steps to implement this plan into action. The program is
managed by the Deputy Public Affairs Administrator, Mayor's Office, who is of East -Indian
4
origin; has the voluntary support of the community liaisons representing 10 different ethnic
groups; and is also integrated into every department with a range of staff.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT PAGE OF THE CITY'S WEBSITE
(http://rentonwa.gov/government/default.aspx?id=1100):
"Renton is focused on prioritizing and Implementing citywide programs and services in order to build
an inclusive city with opportunities for everyone. Areas of emphasis include:

inclusion.

liaisons and continuing to work with them to provide city programs, services, outreach,
and enhance civic engagement.
• Conducting a comprehensive analysis of city systems by using an inclusion and equity
lens, and identified specific actions and policies to move towards a more inclusive city.
• Facilitating ongoing training and workshops on inclusion and equity, and built capacity
within the city to co facilitate the workshops through a "train -the -trainer" curriculum.
• Working with stakeholders and community leaders for community -wide events
promoting inclusion such as a Job Fair and Diversity Festival."

The Renton Business Plan dedicates one of its goals to inclusion, and identifies supporting objectives and
strategies to accomplish it.

of opportunities to be involved with their community

diversity in our city
• Promote understanding and appreciation of our diversity through celebrations and
festivals
• Provide critical and relevant information on a timely basis and facilitate two-way
dialogue between city government and the community

Equity and Empowerment Framework
http://www.cityoftacoma.org/government/city departments/equity and human rights/equity and e
mpowerment framework/
The Equity and Empowerment framework, adopted by the City Council in 2014, makes equity a
consistent guiding principle across the entire organization and will help the City of Tacoma change the
way we do business. The framework calls out five goals:
1. The City of Tacoma Workforce Reflects the Community it Serves
We will actively work to eliminate racial and other disparities and provide
accommodations for people with disabilities in hiring, promotion, and retention
2. Purposeful Community Outreach and Engagement
We will work with community partners and businesses to promote equity and
inclusion within Tacoma and throughout the region, producing measurable
improvements and disparity reductions
3. Equitable Service Delivery to Residents and Visitors
We will provide guidance, education and assistance to all departments as they
develop sustainable methods to build capacity in achieving equitable outcomes and
services
4. Commitment to Equity in Local Government Decision Making
We will be transparent and collaborative with internal and external individuals and
groups, holding ourselves and our partners accountable for measurable improvements
and outcomes
5. Support Human Rights and Opportunities for Everyone to Achieve their Full
Potential
Promote, support and build capacity for compliance with civil rights laws, ordinances
and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, within the City of
Tacoma
Eliminating inequity in the City of Tacoma means changing the policies and practices that create and
sustain them. Using a strategy of "targeted universalism", which recognizes that we all need different
strategies to achieve our full potential, our goal is to improve outcomes for all communities. In other
words, the Office of Equity and Human Rights is working for all residents and visitors of Tacoma in an
effort to make it a place people want to live, work and play.
