November 2008 The revised version of the draft was presented at the November 6, 2008 BOCC Meeting. Board member comments were received and plans were made to consider this further at the next BOCC Retreat in-2009. January 2009 Item was not considered at the 2009 BOCC Retreat due to time constraints. May 2010 Draft goal was reviewed by the BOCC at a regularly scheduled work session. During that session it was suggested that the HRC develop a methodology to measure the success of goal implementation. Since the May work session the Human Relations Commission (HRC) and County staff have developed a Social Justice Goal Implementation Plan that has two components: I. Annual Review of the Social Justice Goal Recommendations; and II. Social Justice Impact Review Tool. The Annual Review will be conducted by the HRC and the Social Justice impact Review Tool would be utilized by County departments as new or revised County programs, policies, and/or projects are proposed by County departments. The Impact Review Tool has been shared with department directors for their review and comment. FINANCIAL IMPACT: It is difficult to quantify all future costs associated with implementing the Social Justice Goal; however, there is some recognition that there will be some costs associated with implementation including staff resources, particularly considering the need to complete the Social Justice Impact Review Tool.
