Draft MTP/SCS Comments Received - sacog

SCS Health & Equity Metrics August 2011
Appendix A:
Comparison Table: SACOG performance measures and Health & Equity in SCS Metrics
In this comparison table, each Health & Equity indicator (from Human Impact Partners’ report entitled
“Elevating Health and Equity in Sustainable Communities Strategies”; see Appendix C) is listed in the
right hand column, in the MTP/SCS Section where HIP identified that it would most likely fit. In some
cases, the Health & Equity indicator was very similar to an existing performance measure included in the
MTP/SCS, and in this case it was placed beside the existing measure. The number in parentheses
corresponds to the number of the indicator in HIP’s report (see Appendix C). The report contains
suggested methodologies and resources.
The purpose of this table is simply to compare SACOG’s performance measures with the Health and
Equity in SCS Metrics. For requests and recommendations, please refer to the comment letter and to
Appendix B.
