Chris Lester, Community Development Specialist, gave a response to Commissioner Boles'
question from January's meeting regarding why the gender wage gap versus race wage gap
wasn't mentioned in the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. Lester explained that women

demographics across the board. The Analysis focused on what was the greater impact versus
race specifically.

Consolidated Plan. The plan will then be presented to the City Council for final approval on
