Council Equality Indicators Initiative
In 2018, the City of Tulsa partnered with the Community Service
Council to produce the first Equality Indicators report. This
annual report uses data to measure equality as it relates to six
themes: economic opportunity, education, housing, justice, public
health, and services in Tulsa. Each theme is broken down into
topics. The 2018 report was released to establish a statistical
baseline for understanding inequity in Tulsa. The City is working
to find collective solutions to items highlighted in the report. As
a part of this collective process, the Council voted in March to
hold Special Meetings related to the topics under the fourth theme:
justice.
Goals First Adopted by the Tulsa City Council:
- Building trust
between the residents of Tulsa and Law Enforcement.
- Improving
transparency in city government especially as it pertains to
justice.
- Providing an
opportunity for community stakeholders to share their expertise and
insight as to why the numbers exist as reported and make
recommendations to improve outcomes.
- Ensuring that
everyone knows the same statistical data and information, how it is
reported and collected.
- Potentially
leading to policy changes that will improve outcomes for
Tulsans.
Four special meetings were scheduled to begin in the summer. For
each meeting, the Council heard from and asked questions of
panelists of experts and professionals from a variety of fields.
Public input on questions and issues the Councilors should address
to each panel were received from the public at the regular
Wednesday Council meetings held a week prior to each of the special
meetings.
