Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 22, 2016 Page 20 How to Define "Under-represented Communities" Councilmember McGehee noted this was an interesting topic to her, given the older demographic of the community, whether living independently or in assisted living, but still an under-represented group at least in terms of their civic engage- ment. However, Councilmember McGehee she would also include handicapped residents, those with mental illness, dementia or other categories. While there are some efforts already underway in the community (e.g. CHAT) to make a more friendly and inclusive community, Councilmember McGehee suggested the CEC speak to various organizations throughout the community to better inform their definition. Councilmember Etten noted the residents seen at community programs or events that were not typically seen at City Council meetings; and suggested looking at the demographic breakdown of those events to see what is missing. Coun- cilmember Etten opined it was fair to say there were senior facilities in the com- munity that needed to positively connect with their municipal government and community as a whole. Mayor Roe agreed that seniors and shut-ins were groups to look at; and agreed with Councilmember Etten that those observed at Council meetings didn't neces- sarily represent the broader community. By engaging residents earlier in process- es, Mayor Roe suggested would serve to passively recruit them for further in- volvement in various roles down the road. Mayor Roe opined that the better the city did in upfront involvement, the easier it would be to interest people in more formal involvement in the city and its government. Feedback on the "I Am Roseville" Community Photo Idea Councilmember Willmus stated "I love that idea;" and expressed his interest in seeing how the CEC ran with it. Councilmember Willmus offered his encour- agement for the CEC to explore the idea; but clarified that the City of Roseville no longer had a chamber of commerce, but noted there were certainly other chambers and groups to work with. Councilmember Laliberte expressed her interest in the idea as well, even though the City Council typically steers the CEC away from projects, stating it was there- fore a good question for the CEC to bring forward. In the future, Councilmember Laliberte suggested some thought should be given to the CEC's annual pursuit of one interesting idea toward community engagement. Being familiar with the Lake Street USA project referenced, as well as the I Am St. Paul campaign Coun- cilmember that she suggested they also look into as another resource, Coun- cilmember Laliberte noted the need in marketing to make sure photo release forms are processed for any images used.
