Okay. Good morning, everyone. I like to call our

racial equity committee to order at 11.05 a.m. Madame Clerk would you call roll to establish

Cora? Yes. Councilmember Kaplan. Councilmember Jennings. Councilmember Vane. Here. Mayor Steinberg will

be joined in shortly. We have a Cora. Thank you so much. Councilmember Kaplan, would you help lead us in

the land acknowledgement and the pledge of allegiance?

Absolutely. We've been advised to acknowledge and honor of Sacramento's indigenous people in

federal lands to the original people of this land. The Nisanan people, the southern might do,

the Valley implains me walk, the Putwin-Wintoon peoples and the people of Wilton Rancharia. Sacramento's

only federally recognized tribe. May we acknowledge and honor the native people who came before us

and still walk beside us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather today in the act of

practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's indigenous peoples history,

contributions and lives. Please stay standing and joining me in the pledge.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands

under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you everyone. Happy Tuesday. We have two items on consent. Madam Clerk, do we have any

comments on items on consent? No, I have no speakers. Okay, is- Okay. We do. Okay. I'm sorry, we do.

Okay, thank you so much. We have two speakers.

Can I have Mac please come?

Yes, good morning. Morning, Mr. Worthy. Yes, we're still going along with this

consent. Now, then you've got the race equity committee minutes. Why then we get some public

people when you was doing the study of what you put on a consent. Now, we know

facts. You have discussed that in the back room. Why bring it out here and all of you go the same

way on it. Did nobody oppose it back there? Think about it. You were dealing with some of the worst

garbage that I've seen over the 75 years I've been here and most of those years is right here in

Sacramento. Wake up people. Deal with the public. Quit the line to the public. Open up. We don't

we wouldn't have a media here in Sacramento. We don't even have a newspaper that can really print

to what's going on. So setting up meetings like this at 11 o'clock, what is your intent?

To freeze the real public out, that's what your consent is. How many people are not at work today?

That will show up here. You got to quit flaying this game because in the next 90 days, you're going

on your own coming back. Thank you, Mr. Worthy. Thank you for your comments. That's the only speaker we have.

Thank you so much. All right, colleagues, there are two items on consent. Do I have a motion on the floor?

Okay, moved by Council Member Jennings, second by Councilwoman Kaplan. Madam Clerk, can you call the role on that item?

Yes. Council Member Kaplan. Hi. Council Member Jennings. Council Member Vane? Yes.

Yes, thank you. Thank you so much. Next item is our discussion items. Oh, public comments.

Just go to item three. Okay, we'll go to the discussion calendar. Item three is report on

completed mandatory diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. DEIB, racial equity training for

elected officials, council staff, and appointed officers, and next steps. And on me, we'll be kicking this off.

Thank you, and good morning. Community care holders online. The racial equity committee members is

good to be with you here this morning, and with our community care holders that are in the

dius as well, in the chambers. Really happy to provide an update and the great progression in this

training initiative that you know began in May of 2023. My name is Amize Nsile Barnes, pronouns

are she and they and I serve as the diversity and equity manager. And I'm here with my colleague,

the Reese Wall, who serves as the strategic workforce equity analyst and who I really want to say,

played a very pivotal role in making sure of the scheduling and the background to make sure that

we were here thus far, so I really appreciate that. So let's jump right in to our objectives today.

We really want to give you a sense of the participation rates. We are really, it's really great to

have Dr. Angela Love, who conducted our sessions from CPS HR consulting to offer some of her thoughts.

And then we really want to get some next steps and some direction from you all as to how do we

sustain and keep this effort going. So we're going to talk a little bit about the New Mayor Council,

Council staff members, that transition we talked about earlier this year at the racial equity committee.

We want to briefly go over funding and scheduling and really contract. These are the infrastructure

pieces that need to be in place to note or sustain this effort. And then of course the racial equity

training component that we want to have for 2025.

All right, so I'll hand it over to Louisa.

Hi, good morning. So I wanted to talk a little bit about the completed training

by CPS HR consulting. The trainers, there were two trainers at each of the trainings. They

facilitated 14 sessions from July through October. The mayor council was separated into triads.

This was done to be in line with the Brown Act until I offer more meaningful conversations

and in our consultation with them. That was what we landed on as the best way to move forward

with the mayor council. So as you can see, council triads A, B and C all completed four and a half
