city staff time and resources on the issue.
Anna Siqueira da Silva, another mem-
ber of the group requesting the resolution,
countered that immigration was only one
piece of the proposal that includes ethnic,
religious, sexual and ability diversity.
“(The resolution) is inclusive of lots of
different groups that are consistently ex-
cluded. There are many different types of
diversity and we want them to be includ-
ed,” Siqueira da Silva said.
The one idea that gained some traction
during the meeting was the possibility of
the city adopting an equity and empower-
ment lens for decision making. An equity
and empowerment lens is a decision-mak-
ing tool that serves as a reminder to policy-
setters to consider the impacts of decisions
on frequently underrepresented groups (see
illustration Page A1).
“It helps remind us to ask the right
questions,” said Clark. “There are other
levels of government that have done it and
it's not changing policies or practices at this
time, but an opportunity to take it to the
next level.”
Councilor Bruce Anderson said that
idea sat well with him, “I kind of like
that (equity lens) and not reinventing the
wheel.I think what I like is that it will serve
as a guidepost to the city staff and put into
action what we are contemplating.”
While the meeting ended without plot-
ting specifi c next steps, Councilor Roland
Herrera said he was hopeful.
“I really believe that something tangible
and actionable will come out of this. The
goal is to include everybody and they de-
serve to be included,” Herrera said.
Knowing the city has their back is a
