Equity, Inclusion & Belonging RFP

Urged that the consultant have specific ADA compliance experience, that workforce demographic data include all groups, and that accountability and the word 'accessibility' be built into the program.

Questioned hiring a consultant at all, arguing the city has the Tribesi report, residents with lived experience, and MML staff — and that Council can deliberate and act publicly without one.

Said the RFP should require review of Phase 2 and a post-mortem of the city's past DEI efforts, arguing that the departure of Tyra Smith and the DEI office's story must be understood or the same dynamics will defeat future efforts.
