RACE & EQUITY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
City Manager Neal explained that since the Race && Equity Team's final check-in June 18, 2018 city staff has
been reviewing the recommendation and providing feedback to the City Manager. Each recommendation
and its sub-recommendations was evaluated by designated City staff. The Racial Equity Advancement Team
(REAT) led the evaluation process and compiled the information into reports for City Manager review. The
Impact Effort Matrix Score was part of the evaluation process. Staff used the twenty-one recommendations
as the framework to receive staff feedback. As staff reviewed the plan the effort and impact of each
recommendation was measured. Each staff response included the Matrix Score.
The Impact Effort Matrix consists of a 2 x 2 grid that helps assess solutions for the recommendations'
relative impact given the effort required. It provides a quick way to filter out solutions that might not be
worth the effort. Numerically the matrix included: 1: High Impact/Low Effort; 2: High Impact/High Effort; 3:—
Low Impact/Low Effort; and 4: Low Impact/High Effort
Staff and the City Council reviewed 19 measures and sub-measures in the proposed implementation plan.
The Council offered comments and insights during the review. The plan will be on the Council's regular
agenda on September 5, 2018.
