The Honorable Mayor John Cranley, Vincent Brown and Janet Reid

• Remember our Foundation• Reflect on the Mission• Responded to our Focus• Remember our

Recommendations

Economic Inclusion

16

Economic Inclusion is a proactive, coordinated, intentional approach for the City and Region to serve as a catalyst for the active participation and growth of M/WBEs in the local economy

Regional Economic Inclusion:

• Focus will be upon the public, private and non-profit sectors

• It will be assured that there will be fair, equal and inclusive bidding opportunities and contracting

• A thriving and supportive business environment will be created that results in the retention of current companies and the attraction of new ones

• There will be increased collaboration with the City, County, community entities, corporations and M/WBEs

Foundation

FOR ECONOMIC INCLUSION

• Economic Inclusion will become a key element of the City’s and the Region’s national reputation.

• The City will lead the region by example. The City will first focus on what it can and must do to become a positive example for Economic Inclusion; and then through its action, become a catalyst for the region’s efforts.

• The City of Cincinnati will be a proactive collaborator with like-minded organizations and entities. This will occur by first becoming a role model and then engaging and partnering with others.

Regional Economic Inclusion

17

Mission

FOR ECONOMIC INCLUSION (continued)

• We will have a “Culture of Inclusion” within our region and solicit buy-in and action from the public, private and non-profit sectors as well as from citizens.

• Economic Inclusion will be a sustainable legacy that is carried out in a coordinated, well-thought-out process that has an appropriate infrastructure and measures.

Foundational Questions - Making the City Best-in-Class and a Regional Catalyst

1. How can the City become a catalyst and role model for growing business for M/WBEs in the public, private and non-profit sectors?

2. What can be learned, applied and/or modified from other cities/regions that are farther along?

3. How can the City leverage its own current best practices and activate previous recommendations to jump-start the process of becoming a catalyst and role model?

4. How should Economic Inclusion for the City be structured so as to be sustainable?

RESPONSE TO THE REPORT

HARRY BLACKCITY MANAGER

Personal Reflections

• OEI vs. DEI

• This is one of my top priorities

• This is one of my senior staff’s top priorities

• This is one of the City’s top priorities

• This process will be measured and all will be accountable.

25

City Manager Focus

• CCL1. Create an ordinance, appropriate administrative directives, and/or other policies that establish Economic Inclusion as a City priority.

• CCL3. Implement disparity study recommendations which align, support and enable Economic Inclusion to occur. Also, be proactive and prepared for potential legal challenges. Appropriately, modify all recommendations if race/gender specific program can not be implemented.

• ECS1. Establish a Department of Economic Inclusion (DEI) and hire a director and staff. This office will be responsible for leading all Economic Inclusion-related activities, which include operationalizing best practices to become world-class; building collaborations and partnerships; stimulating Economic Inclusion in the City and throughout the Region and implementing contract compliance actions. The DEI would also manage and track all funded Economic Inclusion initiatives.

26

City Manager Focus (continued)

• ECS2. Centralize purchasing across the City to create a culture of Economic Inclusion and hold all accountable to Economic Inclusion standards and protocols and forecast M/WBE spend at the beginning of each fiscal year and then track contract awards separately as required in CMC 323.17.

• ECS3. Establish that Economic Inclusion is one of the highest priorities for the City Manager and develop Economic Inclusion performance measures, accountabilities and objectives for all City departments and senior personnel.

• ECS4. Expand the authority of and increase the staff of the Office of Contract Compliance to reinforce M/WBE policies, processes, guidelines, and requirements. This function would report directly to the Department of Economic Inclusion.

27

City Manager Focus (continued)

• ECS8. To support the achievement of Economic Inclusion, conduct annual mandatory department-wide education, training, development, and certification for all City staff that have purchasing authority. Also, conduct an annual external audit of Economic Inclusion program goals, objectives, policies, processes, guidelines, and expectations.

Department of Economic Inclusion Scorecard

March 21, 2016

36

Director of Economic Inclusion Focus• CCL2. Increase the number of M/WBEs that are doing business with the City

by accepting certifications from reputable State/Federal and other credible certifying agencies. At the same time ensure the standards are rigorously enforced and companies are legitimately M/WBE owned and operated.

• ECS6. Ensure that all City procurement opportunities are more transparent and easily accessed by M/WBEs. Create a system which will automatically e-mail M/WBE vendors when procurement opportunities are published, similar to that currently done for SBEs. Fully leverage the City’s Vendor Self Service System and the Vendor Contract Compliance System.

• ECS7. Mandate Economic Inclusion requirements for all City funded projects and assure that M/WBEs are able to participate in joint ventures, prime and subcontracting opportunities. Also, include Economic Inclusion specifications in all City departments, funded agencies and organizations that receive any level of funding from the City.

37

Director of Economic Inclusion Focus (continued)

• CCCP2. Establish an Economic Inclusion scorecard of qualitative and quantitative measures that tracks the City’s progress on Economic Inclusion. The scorecard would be reviewed quarterly and reported to the community.

• LS1. Advocate for a “Total Inclusion” commitment process designed to encourage large M/WBEs with City contracts in excess of $100,000 annually to subcontract a percentage of their work to smaller M/WBE businesses. This commitment could also include mentoring smaller firms and hiring from the community workforce.

• BSW2. Support and fund programs dedicated to develop, educate and train M/WBEs in the construction trades and other critical industry segments.

• BSW3. Advocate for and support emerging energy and green technology business opportunities for M/WBEs.
