4.A. - Page 11�Fc PENINSULA CONFLICT RESOLUTION CENTER police and the communities are at more risk by that interaction; fund other services (libraries), wealth disparities • feel like it's very important when we talk about equity on input and outcomes; focus on if it's a level playing field; can't ignore system inequities; be aware of manufactured disadvantages that creates inequities; recommends that we focus on equitable outcomes, which can result in more resources for black and brown people to change outcomes; for instance, when policing is biased in outcomes, need to create equitable results • Decrease sizes of housing to accommodate more families • Better reallocation of who shows up to different situations - police officer vs social worker • Representation of people in leadership and add diversity in stakeholder spaces. • Advisory committee to oversee decisions and creating processes to eliminate biases related to funding • Invite police to the community to get to know the community and find ways to serve the community. • Counselors in schools to support students in schools • National database with the names of officers involved in excessive force toward community • Committees that have the authority to punish, prosecute and hold police officers accountable when they've committed crimes - completely independent • Community Policing - No law enforcement in community. Find another way to build community relations outside of National Night Out. • Cahoots program - Mental health personnel responding to mental health related situations in the community. • Equal and equitable services to minority communities. • Thankful for the space to have voices heard. • Thankful that the city is creating spaces for voices to be heard. • Housing, small businesses, support for the parents were mentioned. • Other ideas: • One still getting to know the city, but has done census work, there is some level of more representation in government. If one were undocumented or lower income, they may not feel secure in reporting issues. COVID health may is very highly concentrated in certain parts of RWC. • Would like more outreach in multiple languages. Needs Opportunity for outreach to everyone which benefits everyone. Big opportunity for City to do better outreach. • (User -centered) Design outreach to make it easy to access for all, including the "weakest", for whom it's hard to access these events. "Town halls" with city are intimidating. o Communication needs to be a two-way street in order to further transparency. • RWC needs to think about how these sessions can be advertised, more dialogue sessions, more attendance at City Council meetings. • Support for parents/children in the form of grants to allow supervision, computers and tutoring support. • How can we build trust? 95
