We believe that the examples above would have been readily apparent had there been direct conversations with members of the community in designing what data should have been collected in the first place. N E A M E R I C A With Justice For Alf Second, the maps themselves fail to provide context on the distribution of other demographic information, like age, income, language proficiency, disabilities, etc. This data is readily available fron-. the census and other sources. Providing such an overlay will be important to better understand the actual and potential impact of lack of investment, and conversely the opportunities presented by increased investments, in neighborhoods. Without such an overlay, and by using generalized data, the City could conclude that there are already sizable investments in east Yakima neighborhoods without ever considering how the City Yakima have brought to the Council's attention. neighborhoods. another process. Without prioritizing and identifying specific improvements the City Council is 'flitA a-Aft - and that it can wait. Thank you again for engaging in this important dialogue. In keeping with this spirit of engaged and informed dialogue, we invite the City Council to join us for a tour of East Yakima neighborhoods next month, on the afternoon of November 21st. We believe that it will be necessary to not only visualize the data, but to directly experience the reality behind it. We will be reaching out shortly to finalize details. 0M= 1; IM OneAmerica ■ =1 YAKIMA CITY COUNCIL Ritt f November 29, 2016 City Hall — Council Chambers 9 a.m. TENTATIVE Budget Overflow 1.
