SUBJECT: DEI STRATEGIC PLAN DATA ANALYSIS PRESENTATION
RECOMMENDATION
Commissioners will receive a presentation on the results of the DEI Strategic Plan
Community Wide Vision Survey.
BACKGROUND
In fiscal year 2021-2023 the DEI Major City Goal (MCG) included the development and
adoption of the DEI Strategic Plan. Due to work plan prioritization and staff turnover, there
were delays in the development of the DEI Strategic Plan. In fisca l year 2023-2025, the
same DEI MCG work plan item was carried over for development and implementation.
The DEI Strategic Plan Framework was presented before Council on May 2, 2023, as a
study session item to gather feedback and direction on body of the framework. The Office
of DEI executed a contract to hire a consultant, Dr. Beya Makekau, to assist in the
community outreach component and pieces of the development of the plan. One of the
key tasks of the Office of DEI was the development and release of the DEI Strategic Plan
Community Wide Vision Survey. The survey was made available from Sept. 18, 2023 to
October 31, 2023.
NEXT STEPS
HRC is to receive an informational presentation on the results of the DEI Strategic Plan
Community Wide Vision Survey.
