Adopt formal decision to use racial equity analysis in city decisions
In Plain English
The city council wants to formally commit to analyzing how city policies and spending affect different racial groups. This means staff would review new proposals through a racial equity framework before bringing them to council. If approved, the city joins other municipalities that have adopted similar approaches to address disparities in city services and outcomes.
