Harvat Hall 7:00 PM Formal Meeting 07-05-18 � CITY OF IOWA CITY 1P2 r,1/2 MEMORANDUM Date: July 5, 2018 To: Simon Andrew, Assistant to the City Manager From: Stefanie Bowers, Equity Director& Human Rights Coordinator Re: Racial and Socioeconomic Equity Review Toolkit In August 2016 through August 2017, the following City Departments: Neighborhood and Development Services, Police, Human Resources, Finance, and Human Rights evaluated a current procedure, policy, program or service, and a new and/or potentially new procedure, policy, program or service using a racial and socioeconomic equity review toolkit. Toolkits provide a mechanism for institutionalizing the consideration of race/ethnicity, income, national origin, ESL, sex, disability, youth, and many other indicators that may influence outcomes for persons. These departments were intentionally selected because they have one or all of the following: 1) the services provided are heavily relied upon by persons of color or immigrant populations; 2) the community has expressed concern on how the services are delivered; or 3) the services provided impact large groups or persons in the community. With the goal of continuing to advance social justice and racial equity within City procedures, policies, programs, and services, several City departments, including Parks and Recreation, the Housing Authority, the Fire Department and the Library are currently using an equity review toolkit. These Departments are using a three-step process to gather information that will be used to inform planning and decision making about public policies and programs. Each step is enumerated below. Step 1: What is the impact of the proposal on determinants of equity? The aim of the first step is to determine whether the proposal will have an impact on equity or not. Step 2: Who is affected by the proposal? This step identifies who is likely affected by the proposal. Step 3: Opportunities for action? The third step involves identifying the impacts of the proposal from an equity perspective. The goal is to develop a list of likely impacts and actions to ensure that negative impacts are mitigated and positive impacts are enhanced. Proposals by Department: Parks & Recreation • Using recent Tree Inventory data, compare the tree canopy coverage of a variety of neighborhoods and compare with data of income levels and race to prioritize future tree planting projects to provide equity throughout the community. • Map and evaluate home address locations of recreation summer camp participants to determine if all neighborhoods are represented in the children we serve. • Map and evaluate home address locations of Group Swim and Private Swim lessons. Compare data with progression through the first four levels of swim lessons to determine if all neighborhoods are represented and having similar success in learning to swim. July 5, 2018 Page 2 • Map and evaluate home address locations of individuals who rent garden plots. Compare with garden locations to determine future locations and outreach to expand community gardens. Fire • Emergency Services Youth Summer Camp—look at participant addresses to determine if all neighborhoods/schools are being represented. Consider transportation alternatives to increase participation. • Unattended Cooking Fires—take a deeper look at our data to evaluate factors tied to incidences of fire. Target neighborhood groups/schools in areas determined to be at higher risk. • Ride Along Program—evaluate participant demographics to determine if all neighborhoods/schools are being represented. Housing Authority • Survey current participants and new voucher holders to determine if our Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandated briefings are creating participation barriers to working families. • Review HUD mandated briefing materials to determine the impact of Limited English Proficiency on Housing Choice Voucher program (HCVP) participants' understanding of family obligations and reporting procedures. • Review and analyze the impact of periods of ineligibility for families terminated or denied housing assistance. Library • Determine if any populations are adversely affected and denied library services due to fines and fees. • Monitor conduct reports regarding teens to determine if racial minorities are disproportionately affected. Identify ways to ensure fair and equal treatment. • Study the ways that racially diverse groups obtain information about library services with a goal to improve information delivery to identified populations. After each Department has completed its toolkits, the results and findings will be shared with Council and the community. In the near future, staff will report out on the progress of those departments that participated in the first toolkit reviews to get an update from each of them and learn more about recent outcomes. onsvir- 1P3 City of Iowa City 2018 Building Statistics Value/type of Construction January February March April May June July August September October November December TOTAL NON-TAXABLE Single Family-$ 1,940,000 1,094.952 5,066,123 2,439.690 1,903,500 2,722,849 15.167,114 Number of Permits 6 4 20 9 6 10 55 Duplex-$ 650.000 1,219,917 1,869,917 Number of Permits 2 2 4 Sororities 8 Fraternities-$ Number of Permits Multiple Units 1,500,000 3,800,000 5,300,000 53,000.000 Number of Permits 1 2 3 Number of Buildings 1 2 3 Number of Dwenng Units 18 30 48 Mix-Commerdal/Residential 645,000 25,677,956 4,000,000 4,020,830 34,343,786 Number of Permits 181(founda 1 1(foundatio 1 5 Number of Buildings 1 1 1 3 Number of Dwelling units 3 130 36 169 Motels,Hotels-$ Number of Permits Churches-$ Number of Permits Industrial-$ 450,000 156,500 606,500 Number of Permits 1 1 2 Service Stations-$ Number of Permits Hospitals B Institutions-$ Number of Permits Offices,Banks,Prof.-$ 24,000 24,000 Number of Permits 1 1 Public Works 8 Unities-$ 1,188,084 1,188,084 1,188,084 Number of Permits 1 1 Schools-$ Number of Permits Stores 8 Customer Svc.-$ 915,000 915,00D Number of Permits 1 1 Misc.Structures/Fences-$ 63,000 87,733 16,79D 8,000 175,523 Number of Permits 2 3 3 1 9 Remodel.Residential-$ 590,260 398,993 824,201 970,961 761,082 1,535,247 5,080,744 Number of Permits 17 15 30 27 23 33 145 Remodel,Commerdal-$ 6,721,600 916,600 2,865.083 9,398,786 485,952 13,047.842 33,435,863 18,783,509 Number of Permits 7 12 11 13 9 14 66 Remodel,Public Works-$ 183,000 68,140 20,000 460,000 256,900 988,040 988,040 Number of Permits 1 1 1 1 1 5 Accessory Structures 35,000 45,000 70,000 89,000 15,000 254,000 Number of Permits 1 2 1 3 1 8 Condo Conversion-No Value TOTAL VALUE 12,064,860 28,156,641 17.493,907 17,008,000 3,716,324 20,908,839 99,348,571 23,959,633 TOTAL PERMITS 36 33 72 55 45 64 305 Demolition:Residential units lost 2 07-05-18 r 1 1P4 CITY OF IOWA CITY 410 East Washington Street Iowa City.

CED projects are expected to actively recruit individuals with low income to fill the positions created by CED-funded development activities, to assist those individuals to successfully hold those jobs and to ensure that the businesses and jobs created remain viable for at least one year after the end of the grant period. CED-funded projects can be non-construction or construction projects, however, short-term construction jobs associated with preparing for business startup or expansion are not counted when determining the number of jobs created under the CED program as they are designed to be temporary in nature.

Programs that involve collaboration among multiple institutions are eligible as well, but one institution must serve as the lead agent and formal applicant of record.

Challenge grants may also provide capital directly supporting the purchase of equipment and software; the design, purchase, construction, restoration, or renovation of facilities needed for humanities activities; and collections sharing. Such direct expenditures bring long-term benefits to the institution and to the humanities more broadly. Grantee institutions may also expend up to 10 percent of total grant funds (federal funds plus matching funds) to defray costs of fundraising to meet the NEH challenge.
