Recommendation to to request City Manager to work with Office of Equity to schedule a future presentation before the City Council on the Equity Toolkit, including an overview of case studies and examples on how to apply it.
Great. Thank you. I've also had a request to move up item 27. So, Madam Quirk, please read that item. Communication from Council Member Pearce. Council Member Urunga. Council Member Richardson. Recommendation to request City Manager to work with Office of Equity to schedule a future presentation on the Equity Toolkit. Councilmember Pearce, you obviously. Thank you, everyone. And I want to thank Councilmember Richardson for the other item related to the Office of Equity Toolkit and COVID. I figured I'd save my comments for this part. We actually drafted this item before the COVID crisis hit us, really to try to highlight the work that the city has done over the last several years around Equity. Our Office of Equity and our Health Department have done a lot of work in the community and with city staff already. They released a equity toolkit a couple of months back that the council has not yet had an opportunity to look at. And it really highlights the fact that Councilmember Richardson just mentioned, which is equity is when everyone has what they need to be successful. Well, equity is treating while equality is treating everyone the same. We want to make sure that we promote fairness and it can only work if everyone starts from the same place and receives the resources that they particularly need. And so I think the COVID situation definitely highlights the fact that not only is it race age, and we know that some of our nursing homes have been the location where we've had the biggest outbreaks. And so these are examples for us to take to heart and really demonstrate that we as a city, as we are coming back and doing recovery, needs to have a full understanding of the toolkit, which really is fantastic. If you guys haven't had a chance to look at it yet, it really talks about what burden and benefits there are. How do we understand the data, community engagement, decision making and implementation? Accountability in a ways out of several questions. And they give examples for policymaking, how we do our budget priorities. And so my request today is that as staff come back and do a full presentation on this toolkit so that when we have other items come forward, WHITE Councilmember Richardson has brought forward we all already have a shared understanding of what that toolkit is and how we can use it to ask questions as we are drafting policy and giving staff direction as well as how we are crossing our budget. And I think it's a particularly important time to do that. So I thank my colleagues for signing on. I know that there was a lot of support for this item previously, and I know we move quickly to get it on the agenda. So I appreciate everybody's effort and look forward to coming back with a full presentation for. And I urge your support. Thank you. Thank you, Governor Pearce. You didn't. You also just sent a Q in on the motion, please. We have a recorded and then camera angle. Very glad to look at the motion on this side of this. And it's very much needed at this point that we know what we're getting into in this presentation and what we mean by this issue. So thank you. Thank you. We have a motion and a second and we're going to do a roll call vote, please. District one. And. District two. I District three. District four. All right. District five. District six. II. District seven. I. District eight. I. District nine. All right. Motion carries. Thank you. I'm going to go for items 21 through 25. I'm going to ask if people can just queue in for the motions. I'm going to do. I'm going to take unanimous consent on the votes for these. And so I'll just go through these and let them and watch their presentation. We'll start and do the presentation like we typically do in the council meetings. So item 28 and 20. Can I get a motion in a second motion by Councilor Richardson, seconded by Councilwoman Zendaya's? Unless there's any objection, we'll take that as unanimous consent.
