Inclusivity is one of the core values outlined in the City’s Strategic Plan.
The City’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy focuses on three key commitment areas:
- awareness and education
- employment and recruitment
- systemic and structural equity
An internal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, made up of staff from a variety of departments, meets regularly and has identified specific actions it will be implementing, including:
- reviewing internal and public-facing City documents for inclusive language
- promoting efforts to be representative of our community both internally and on City boards and committees
- increasing training for City employees on DEI and anti-racism
