I believe this storm has taken away <br />from what we need to do as a Council and a community, l, Ve need to work together on <br />the real problems: inadequate housing of all kinds, jobs that do not pay a decent wage, <br />unsafe neighborhoods, lack of attention to children and their needs, and systemic racism. <br />This is our challenge and it will take everybody to do it. Council has been and is <br />committed to this task. I propose to Council that we use a section of our planning retreat <br />for a discussion of racism in the city and in city government. We can prepare for this <br />session by getting staff to report on employment statistics in city government and schools, <br /> <br /> <br />
