V.Unfinished Business
Budget Update (5 minutes)
The Mayor’s budget was presented to Council on Monday 10/1, and included the full
$6,000 for the Equity and Social Justice Commission that we requested.
Equity Policy Implementation Plan Update (10 minutes)
Mia walked through the draft plan. The group recommends that the cross-
departmental equity policy team members go through an interactive training
together in order to have a common understanding of equity before beginning the
2
work of the committee. The group agreed that all City staff must have mandatory
equity training including unconscious bias, and that equity be part of the annual
performance evaluation for all staff.
Fall Training (10 minutes)
Nichelle met with Melia today. We need to give Melia some date options for us to
receive a follow-up to our training from March. Mia will send out some date options.
Avoid Wednesdays, last Saturday in October, avoid Council and Committee meeting
nights. Use our December meeting to debrief the training. Some place with a private
meeting room, like Billy Baroo’s. No tree nuts, gluten.
Council Presentation
The idea is to present the Equity and Social Justice Commission Work Plan. Let Council
know we will be making recommendations throughout the year via letter to the
Mayor and the City Administrator, CCing the Council. All recommendations will be
summarized in the ESJC annual report to Mayor/Council. Mikkell, Aaron, and Bridgette
are working on the presentation, and will meet on Monday to begin working on it.
Plan on a 20 minute presentation including Q&A.
A future recommendation may address viewing increases to the water bill through an
equity lens. Another future recommendation would be computer literacy for all staff.
VI.New Business
2019 Work Plan (45 minutes)
The group went through the work plan items in the minutes from the last meeting,
and gave status updates, and made adjustments. Bridgette recommended that
whoever is passionate about any item or items on the list can be point (1-3 people)
on those items and report back on progress.
Mia w
ill put the work plan items into a work plan format and email to the group
before the next meeting.
