Re: Amend the By -Laws of the Iowa City Human Rights Commission
I ntrod uction/Backa round
The Human Rights Ordinance was given a comprehensive update in December, 2015.
At that time, reference to "housing accommodation" was removed, as the term had no
counterpart in the Fair Housing Act. The phrase was replaced with "dwelling." However,
we were notified by the codifier that a few stray references to "housing accommodation"
remained in the Ordinance.
Because these references needed to be removed and replaced with "dwelling," we also
had the opportunity to address another issue. The phrase "men and women" was used
in describing desired appointments to the Commission. Given Iowa City's commitment
to human rights for all, including those of all gender identities, we felt that replacing
"men and women" with "persons" was more inclusive and better reflected the spirit of
the City.
Recommendation:
Amend the by-laws of the Iowa City Human Rights Commission to replace the phrase
"men and women" with "persons" to be consistent with the §2-2-3 Human Rights
Ordinance.

To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
From: Stefanie Bowers, Equity Director
Re: Racial and Socioeconomic Review Toolkit
Introduction:
City staff are advancing social justice and racial equity through several projects that are a part of
the City Council's Strategic Plan for 2016-2017 to foster a more inclusive, just and sustainable
Iowa City.
Background:
In November 2015, members of the City Council and City staff attended a one -day training led
by Julie Nelson, the Executive Director for the Government Alliance on Racial Equity. The
training focused on how local governments can work towards racial equity. Since that time, the
Council's Strategic Plan for 2016 and 2017 has prioritized City work plans and organizational
infrastructures. One such item is to implement a racial and socioeconomic equity review toolkit
to advance social justice and racial equity.
Discussion:
In July of this year, City staff from Neighborhood and Development Services, Transportation and
Resource Management, Police, Human Resources, Human Rights and Finance began work on
a one-year pilot use of a racial and socioeconomic review toolkit.
A toolkit is a process that Involves using a series of questions to review and evaluate programs,
policies or initiatives. A racial and socioeconomic equity review toolkit will assist City staff and
the City Council in working towards racial equity by providing a process that identifies when the
City's policies or practices are causing different outcomes for certain populations. Other cities
that currently use similar toolkits include Seattle, Washington and Madison, Wisconsin.
The review tool being used by City staff has three stages:
I. What is the impact of the proposal on determinants of equity?
II. Who is affected?
III. Any opportunities for action?
During the pilot, the toolkit will be used to evaluate two current procedures, policies, programs
or services and one new procedure, policy, program or service for each of the above listed
departments. Interdepartmental teams will further assist in implementing and using the toolkit for
the departments. The interdepartmental teams will include staff from all levels of the
organization. A year after the pilot implementation, the selected departments, with feedback and
input from the interdepartmental teams, will review its progress in a memo to Council. The
memo will evaluate the toolkit, outline any recommendations for future use, and determine what
departments should be further included in using a toolkit.
The following provides the items each department will be reviewing
September 15, 2016

impact on equity or not.

Iowa City Police Chief Search
Llp,c(4 ( 10--11-1(e
The City of Iowa City is actively considering candidates to serve our community as the

This webpage is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on the search process
and an opportunity for the public to submit comments to the City Manager's Office

The first step in the search process was to develop a recruitment profile that expresses
the values of the community, as well as the characteristics and qualifications we are

narrowed the list of applicants to a smaller group of semi-finalist candidates. An
interview committee consisting of various stakeholder representatives will meet to
interview selected candidates. Interviews will be completed by the end of October.
Following the interview process, a small group of finalists for the position will be publicly
named in November with background information on each finalist being made available
to the public. Final interviews and a public meet and greet forum will be held prior to the
City Manager making an appointment and requesting Civil Service Commission and
City Council approval of the hire.
