City of Renton seeks applicants for Equity Commission
New commission make recommendations to remove barriers in city programs, services, and
policies.
RENTON, WA – The City of Renton is seeking candidates to serve on the newly-created Equity
Commission.
The Equity Commission’s primary goal will be to develop recommendations enabling
community members to achieve equitable outcomes by removing racial, economic, and social
barriers in city programs, services, and policies.
The commission was formed after city staff met with 11 community groups representative of
Renton’s diverse population to identify inequities and barriers to access. The meetings took
place over the past 12 months.
The commission will consist of nine members, who are either Renton residents or business
owners. One member must be between 18-25 years old. The membership will have a
demonstrated commitment to equity and reflect the diversity of our city including, but not
limited to ethnicity, race, age, gender, faith, gender identity and expression, and profession.
Members will be appointed by the mayor and subject to confirmation by the city council.
The application is on the city’s website. Applicants can also call 425-430-7394 to have one
mailed.
The deadline for applications is Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 5 p.m.
Jason A. Seth, MMC, City Clerk
