• Engage communities of color in decision-making, understand the root causes of existingdisparities and how the City’s actions can make these better (or worse)
• Use data to identify current racial disparities and those most impacted by our actions
• Identify inequitable consequences or burdens on communities most impacted,
• Identify needed strategies and resources to ensure equity in our actions and decision making.
• Identify how progress on racial equity will be tracked and measured over time, and how to report back to stakeholders
