Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes April 18, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 9 of 16 Chair Holub responded this has not been done. Ms. Olson referred to a document the City's GARE team put together. She noted there is a difference between who the City's current population is and who is in the school district. Based on census population, Roseville's current population is 78 percent white and 22 percent people of color. The Roseville Area Schools, which includes communities in addition to Roseville, indicates there is a growing number of students of color which will eventually become more reflective in the community. Historically, compared to other areas, Roseville is growing and there will be an increase in racial diversity. She noted the City does have information based on the census, Comprehensive Plan, and the school district. She offered to compile the data that she has so the HRIEC can identify what additional information is needed and determine a starting point that defines what groups may be underrepresented. Chair Holub suggested they look at the who, what, when, where, and why paradigm and figure out a process on how to tackle this topic. The Commission highlighted the following questions and topics that should be included: WHO —what questions should they be asking • Data on demographics • Social groups, age brackets, spiritual groups in the community • Specific groups in schools • Gender groups • People best served in a different language • Community groups they should be considering • Fairview billboards to see what groups are listed there • List or properties owned versus properties rented • Conduct a quick three or four questions survey on social media, Nextdoor, the City's newsletter and the website Commissioner Beltman inquired if any data is kept on who attends events. Ms. Olson noted data is not kept, but it is a good suggestion. She suggested they recommend this be done in order to benchmark how they are improving. Some data shows information on languages spoken. Commissioner Subramanian suggested they use social media to ask some of these questions through a quick survey. Commissioner Bollinger stated Nextdoor would be a good app to use. Commissioner Peterson commented people on Nextdoor may already be connected to the City. Chair Holub noted this project will be used as recommendations to the Council.
