Action: Equity Criteria

Kelly reminded the committee that the RPEC working group has met twice to review the proposed language for a new Equity criterion, per the parameters agreed on by the Project Selection Task Force. She reviewed the Equity criterion draft language which included three sections: 1) addressing population groups and benefits and disparities, 2) addressing outreach and 3) addressing displacement. She then reviewed three proposals related to the overall and distribution of point values. The committee discussed the proposals and then a poll was taken for a recommendation, with Proposal # 2 receiving the majority vote. It was noted no further action was needed.
