COMMISSIONER REPORTS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT ADJOURNMENT At 7:26 PM, the Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commission meeting was formally adjourned to Thursday, February 10, 2022, at 6:00 PM, City Council Chambers, 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California. Denyse Wilson, Chair ATTEST: Randi Johl, Executive Director RACE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION (REDI) COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Commission FROM: Luke Watson, Deputy City Manager DATE: February 10, 2022 SUBJECT: Consider the Equity Core Value and Quality of Life Master Plan PREPARED BY: Matt Peters, Senior Planner RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission consider the equity core value and Quality of Life Master Plan and provide general direction regarding the same. BACKGROUND: The Quality of Life Master Plan (QLMP) was adopted during the Fall of 2011 and identified six Core Values including: 1. Healthy and Livable City; 2. Economic Prosperity; 3. A Safe and Prepared Community; 4. A Sustainable City; 5. Transportation Mobility and Connectivity; and 6. Accountable and Responsive City Government The plan includes specific goals; key accomplishments; key findings; metrics of progress; and strategic priorities. The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Annual Operating Budget (AOB) are reviewed annually for conformance with the City's Core Values identified in the QLMP. Given the substantial progress on the current QLMP during the last several years, the General Plan Update Subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Maryann Edwards and Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn, determined that an update to the QLMP should be the first step in the General Plan update project. In addition, at the direction of the City Council in Summer 2020, the update will include a seventh core value, currently referred to as "Equity." The Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) Commission will provide significant input on the development of this section of the plan. At its June 10, 2021 meeting, the REDI Commission approved the following Draft Equity Value for consideration: DRAFT EOUITY VALUE The City of Temecula supports the fair and equitable treatment of all human beings in a just society. The City recognizes the role it plays in fostering a healthy and prosperous environment for all residents of Temecula and commits to the meaningful advancement of equity, diversity and inclusion in its community dialogue, services, programs and policies. (City Council Resolution 2020-56) An equitable community is one that listens with empathy, and understands with compassion, that different barriers impact the lives of its residents in a variety of ways. To minimize these impacts and remove barriers, specifically tailored tools and resources are provided to residents and businesses, ensuring that social and economic opportunity is achievable for all members of the community. Social opportunity includes the ability to acknowledge and heal the struggles of individuals and families that have been historically or presently underrepresented in the community. Support is provided through accessible educational pathways and need -based assessments created with the full and inclusive participation of the diverse community. Once identified, inequity gaps are closed through appropriate resource allocation, enhanced programs, and service delivery. Policies are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure community satisfaction and a high quality of life remain at the forefront. An equitable environment fosters a sense of belonging through various cultural experiences, where all individuals feel welcomed, engaged, and part of the community. Equity is measured through and by the people. Inclusion is the measurable goal. An equitable community reflects a high level of community engagement and participation. The key to accountability and the equitable delivery of programs and services lies in the specific and direct qualitative and quantitative data. An equitable community consistently collects and shares data with the community it serves in a manner that is accessible and understandable. In all that it does, Temecula continuously strives to be an equitable community for all. The Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC), consisting of stakeholders including representatives from each of the City's boards and commissions and community leaders with diverse interests, is responsible for guiding the development of the QLMP by attending meetings, reviewing data and reports, and providing input at meetings facilitated by the Consultant. Members serving on the BRC have the additional responsibility of reporting back to their assigned Board/Commission to provide updates and solicit further input. The QLMP will set the foundation for a comprehensive update to the City's General Plan using the seven Core Values as the organizing principles. Staff will present additional details regarding the QLMP update process and a four -phase work program to update the General Plan by 2025. It is recommended that the Commission engage in dialogue facilitated by staff and consultants in regards to the draft equity core value and provide general direction regarding the same.
