oh okay, this is more questions, okay.
2:08:49
Can the agency supply the counsel with a copy of their preliminary racial equity plan?
2:08:54
I don't know if you all had to submit a racial equity plan.
2:08:57
We have not submitted a racial equity plan.
2:08:59
Were you asked to submit a racial equity plan?
2:09:01
No.
2:09:01
We weren't.
2:09:02
Oh, interesting.
2:09:03
Can the agency describe how their work and budget for fiscal year twenty twenty six reduces, perpetuates, or exacerbates racial inequity and service delivery and the criminalization of communities of color and poverty?
Jeanne Victor
2:09:18
I'm not sure I understand the question.
2:09:20
Did you?
2:09:21
Could you repeat the question?
Nantasha Williams
2:09:22
Like essentially like based off of your knowledge and the work and, you know, the budget of your agency, can you share how your agency works to either reduce, continue to perpetuate, or even exacerbate, in some cases, racial inequity in service delivery?
2:09:40
In this case, it would be the internal issues that we have as a city and our workforce and how that that works to disadvantage communities of color.
Jeanne Victor
2:09:57
I I don't know if that's directly on point to what we do because when we what we do is we work with the agencies and our work is to increase diversity and and ensure that there's equal employment opportunities for all.
2:10:16
So I don't believe that anything that we would do would exacerbate or exacerbate or or you know hinder you know that that the discrimination.
