TITLE:
Municipal Equity Index
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The item is currently in the Staff Future Agenda Items queue which means it is waiting for some research and staff work before it moves forward again.
Executive Summary:
The Human Rights Campaign uses the Municipal Equality Index (MEI) to examine how inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQ people who live and work in Flagstaff. Cities are rated based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement, and the city leadership's public position on equality.
Flagstaff is one of 506 cities that have been rated on 49 different criteria. View city's scorecards
