October 6, 2016 <br /> <br />3.The Equity in Contracting Program engages in targeted outreach to minority and women- <br />owned businesses to facilitate greater participation in City contracts by those businesses. <br />Outreach includes a building of partnerships between community stakeholders and toolkit <br />materials for minority and women-owned businesses to ensure all available resources and <br />programs are put to the best use. Local businesses are a particular focus of the effort to <br />educate vendors about City processes and the value of becoming an MBE or WBE certified <br />organization. <br /> <br />The Purchasing Office in Central Services is coordinating the effort, but it takes leadership, effort <br />and commitment from across all departments to reach our goals. The vision of having a barrier- <br />free contracting environment with a level playing field depends on all of us participating in this <br />important work and striving to create a different environment for our vendors. Not only does <br />this align with how we think about our work, it helps us move toward our goals of being future- <br />ready. <br /> <br />Thank you for all that you do to promote the values of equity and inclusion. By doing this work we <br />all benefit. <br /> <br /> <br />%·¤¢´³¨µ¤ 4¤ ¬ -¤¬¡¤±²Ȁ <br /> <br /> <br />*®­ 2´¨¹Ǿ <br />City Manager <br />3 ± § -¤£ ± <br />y, Assistant City Manager <br />'«¤­­ +«¤¨­Ǿ <br />City Attorney <br />+±¨²³¨¤ ( ¬¬¨³³Ǿ <br />Central Services <br />#§¨¤¥ *®¤ : «´£¤ªǾ <br />Fire and EMS <br />2¤­¤¤ '±´¡¤Ǿ <br />Library, Recreation and Cultural Services <br />$¤­­¸ "± ´£ <br />, Planning and Development <br />#§¨¤¥0¤³¤ +¤±­²Ǿ <br /> Police <br />+´±³ #®±¤¸Ǿ <br />Public Works <br /> <br />
