During the discussion of the 2021 draft Calendar of Significant Items, there was a suggestion that the Calendar include the list of policy issues that the Board would like the Office of Equity to coordinate with departments to assist the departments with evaluating the policy from an equity lens. On the one hand, any new ordinance should be reviewed with an equity lens. The 2021 Calendar identifies several new ordinances that will be brought forward to the Board where the lead department will need to work with the Office of Equity to review the proposed provisions. Besides ordinances, several major land use decisions will be brought forward in 2021 that the Board may want to direct Permit Sonoma to coordinate with the Office of Equity prior to the land use plans being finalized. The County will also be involved in the redistricting discussions and hearings throughout the calendar year where it is important that the Office of Equity be engaged early and often. The CAO’s Office will coordinate with the Office of Equity to come up with an approach to bring resources, tools and strategies that will help departments undertake an appropriate equity review of the many policies and programs coming forward.
