3. Next time: more small groups. Meet face to face and not on "Nextdoor" — which has areas that are too large to be a neighborhood of people who know each other. 4. Neighborhood gatherings in a park or community room with one or two council members coming to discuss. 5. Make use of technology and make it easy, e.g., Nextdoor as a start. 6. City fostering community connections with neighbors and beyond: share resources (asset mapping), cultural competency training for city employees (ie. police dept.) and elected officials, community volunteers, and a community effort to celebrate our differences. 7. Nextdoor and Neighborhood Night Out are good, but not enough. More face to face interaction is needed,which cannot be realized through electronic means and one- night a week. 8. Can we require community trainings/dialogues regarding cultural competency ("isms") for the people we pay (school admin, city officials)? 9. Business/schools/churches partnerships. 10. Intergenerational activities in schools. 11. Opportunities for small organizations to connect — schools, senior centers, youth groups, etc. 12. A lot of people talked about getting to know neighbors. This seems to be one of Roseville's great assets. However, if Roseville is anything like St. Paul and Minneapolis, the neighborhoods are very segregated by race and socio-economic status. Getting to know your neighbors may not be a very diverse experience. How can we go across generations and races and classes to broaden our experiences? 13. Build a community should be inclusive have bigger/better efforts to connect cultural communities to the majority. They are here in our community too — but we don't see them at events. There is a gap in participation and inclusivity — be intentional — go to where we usually don't go. 14. We talked about how we felt safe — next how we have felt unsafe in Roseville and how we can improve that. 15. The basic form of a Neighborhood is the family unit and how to get them together as same community members. 16. Be intentional about getting involved in the community — reaching out to next generation (mentor), say "Hii" when walking, and volunteering. 17. I think these are great, even if for nothing more than an "excuse" to meet our neighborhood. This being the first of many sessions. I think this could bring great things to the future of Roseville. 18. How do we take risks and put ourselves out there to connect with neighbors, families — overcome fears, etc. Preliminary Record of Public Comments During April 30t" Community Dialogue 4
