Committee discusses cadence for barrier analysis and affirmative action plan
Summary
Committee members noted that the county's barrier analysis (2021) and affirmative action plan (most recently 2023) are outdated on the website and discussed whether recommending a regular review cycle should be an objective; members acknowledged a barrier analysis would be a larger, contractor-led effort.
A member pointed out the county website shows the last affirmative action plan update in 2023 and the barrier analysis in 2021 and asked whether the committee should set a cadence for reviewing those reports. Members agreed this could be an objective for the coming year but noted the barrier analysis would likely require external contracting, focus groups and data work.
The committee discussed whether the standing committee's role is to identify those needs and recommend them to the HRC and County Board rather than to conduct the work itself. One member framed the objective as "we will look at that and say, should we do something?" and the group agreed identifying a recommendation to the HRC could be an appropriate outcome for next year.
