body
DEPARTMENT: Executive's Office
ORIGINATOR: Ty Trenary
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Lacey Harper 6/26/23
PURPOSE: In the adopted 2023 Budget, the County Council set a condition that OSJ's goals associated with the 5-year strategic plan be provided to release the funds for the 1.0 Executive Analyst/Program Management FTE (NEW0102R). At the same time, Council approved by Motion 22-525, an RFP for the office to work with MGT Consulting to conduct an internal readiness assessment and reach out to our external community to gain their input as to their perceptions of the County and its interaction with excluded and/or under included communities. This information, along with a number of other data points, will be used to create a strategic work plan to set the direction of OSJ's work.
BACKGROUND: OSJ is charged with leading the County's DEI efforts to create an environment of inclusion. One way of accomplishing this is through supporting departments by working with them to review their outreach efforts to diverse communities. OSJ has worked with departments to review plans, outreach to communities, met and provided input to external consultants hired by departments, and other critical steps. In addition, OSJ has brought together a countywide group that meets monthly to discuss equity efforts and provide input as necessary to leadership.
