RE. Amendment to 2020 Operations Budget for Human Resources
BACKGROUND
As part of the 2020 operating budget process, Human Resources submitted a budget enhancement
request to Council with the intent to fund city membership in the Government Alliance on Race and
Equity (GARE) and organizational assessment, diversity planning and diversity & inclusion training.
Although the request was favorably received by Council, the decision was made to postpone funding
this request until residual funds could be identified from the 2019 Operating Budget.
ANALYSIS
As a result of the recent adoption of Ordinance 20-255 on June 9th, 2020 establishing a Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion Committee, the desire to extend membership resources from the city membership in
GARE to members of the newly formed committee, and the availability of 2019 Operating Budget
funds, reintroduction of this request is being introduced to implement activities consistent with the
ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact is projected as a one-time cost of approximately $20, 000 to provide for organizational
assessment, diversity planning and diversity & inclusion training. The remaining approximate $5,000
would be an annually budgeted item available for GARE membership and future training as needed.
RECOMMENDATION
I believe this budget amendment will provide important resources for our collective improvement, and
as such, I am respectfully requesting your approval. Please let me know if you may have any additional
questions in regard to this subject, and thank you as always for your consideration and support.
