Hello, I received your "DEI Strategic Plan Community Workshop" email, but when I followed the link for info on how to
submit a public comment even though I am unable to attend, all I found was info about submitting comments to the City
Council. When I clicked on advisory committee information, I did not see the DEI committee listed, so I am sending my
video comment and accompanying spreadsheet to you. If I need to submit this to a different email address, please let
me know where I can direct it.

The attached video and spreadsheet outline the rates of PoC in the City of SLO compared to State and national rates,
highlighting the need for a DEI metric for the city of increasing rates of non-white and Latinx residents. The
accompanying spreadsheet provides notes on strengths/resources as well as challenges.
Thank you,
Forrest Eastham
