Concern
What I don't see in any of these goals is the mention of collaboration. We need to recognize the need for and the willingness to collaborate. Pacific University offers all sorts of free events that focus on EDI, but we don't seem to be able to get the community involved. How can we change that?

Suggestion
capacity and training may not be enough. Personal (made public) goal setting might encourage more investment

this was supposed to be down in item 3.4!

Suggestion
Data can be “sanitized” depending on your N. Finding ways to collect emotive experiences and reducing barriers will be important

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:22PM on page 3

This sounds like (and maybe it's the intention) every This sounds like (and maybe it's the intention) every policy and practice in these areas is attached to a way to analyze the effects on equity and inclusion. Perhaps there will be a rubric or tool that departments can use to assess these impacts?

Nikol Roubidoux Oct 25 2022 at 10:20PM on page 2

Suggestion
I would suggest adding "of Forest Grove staff and business owners."

I like the idea of this one for sure, but it sounds a little vague - I'm wondering what data will be used and how (and maybe that's just because this is the only item I've seen so far without a little bit of further explanation)

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:17PM on page 3

Question
The goals below I think represent the data and informing part, but this goals says improve services to diverse communities. Not sure that is represented in the action steps.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:12PM on page 2

Question
Possible to add somewhere in Goal #2? Policies that empower the people to hold those with authority accountable

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:12PM on page 2

Here too, it's not just getting candidates of diverse backgrounds to boards and commissions, but helping each board and commission operate in a way that is inclusive.

add retention (as per other comment) - retaining staff says as much about the city's practices as hiring in the first place

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:10PM on page 2

Suggestion
City leaders to go to the people vs the people coming to them. Ex - non profits, migrant camps etc.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:10PM on page 2

Agreement
Agreed. This is probably the most important feature fo your goals.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:09PM on page 2

Agreement
I agree with this. We need to recruit candidates, and then support them.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:09PM on page 2

I am not sure if the first sentence of this statement is the right one for an item around cultural competence. I do think a place to acknowledge history and perspectives is good, but I am not sure that an unknown/future thing (DEI efforts and their effect) will build cultural competence or responsiveness.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:08PM on page 2

Question
Simply making the process less biased wont bring more diverse candidates. We need to grow our own diverse candidates, and then make their work environments supportive of their cultures.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:08PM on page 1

Suggestion
I would suggest leaving continuous improvement out so it focuses more on inclusivity

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:06PM on page 2

Agreement
I think educating the community is critical. Moving the city leaders forward without also bringing along the community will be counterproductive.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:04PM on page 2

Including historical and contemporary narratives of survival, resilience, hope, joy, excellence.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:04PM on page 1

Definitely ongoing -- will take a lot more than a year or a "one and done" approach...

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:04PM on page 1

Suggestion
I like this, but really DEI should get funded holistically in every department. And their team should have the resources they need to continue to grow the system.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:03PM on page 1

Suggestion
feedback in the language in which they are most comfortable (i.e. the burden is on the city to create inclusive mechanisms for feedback)

Marci Ramiro-Jenkins Oct 25 2022 at 10:03PM on page 1

Suggestion
Establish cultural competence at the hiring level. Include cultural competence interviews questions at City's job interviews

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 10:02PM on page 1

Suggestion
This might be a good area also to include some accountability - i.e. not just updating staff, but more of a two-way interaction in which both community members and staff can also provide feedback about progress to date.

System for delivering this information to community members.

Anonymous Oct 25 2022 at 9:54PM on page 1

Ensuring that feedback systems/processes are accessible to all populations.

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:23PM on page 3

Agreement
3.4 - Awesome goal - good to keep the CC informed on progress.

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:21PM on page 3

Agreement
3.3 - Great goal

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:21PM on page 3

Suggestion
Great goal - maybe extend timeline

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:19PM on page 3

Suggestion
3.1 the word ongoing is used - just a thought that maybe the timeline should say ongoing as well?

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:17PM on page 2

Agreement
Great

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:17PM on page 2

Agreement
Great

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:16PM on page 2

Suggestion
Maybe extend the timeline? What are the mini goals here and was there a reason for this timeline?

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:14PM on page 2

Agreement
Sounds good

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:12PM on page 1

Suggestion
This is great. Will staff get to complete surveys and give their input on policies that are updated or are new? Something to consider if not already

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:09PM on page 1

Agreement
This is good

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:09PM on page 1

Suggestion
Maybe this should be an ongoing timeline as well to provide room for other options

Susan Aguilar Oct 25 2022 at 8:07PM on page 1

Suggestion
Comment on 1.1 - possibly this timeline should also say ongoing?
