Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes April 18, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 6 of 16 Commissioner Beltmann inquired what languages this information will be translated into. Mr. O'Neill responded it is only available in English and they do not have the expertise or budget to do otherwise. Ms. Olson noted they have discussed using volunteers who speak a second language, and this could be an option to consider. Chair Holub suggested they work with the Fire Department to ask the City Council if this is a priority for them and request additional funding for a translator. Commissioner Subramanian inquired if there are similar cities in the United States that have implemented this and could provide a history of outcomes. Mr. Brosnahan noted the City of St. Louis Park also has a similar program that has been successful. It is in partnership with Methodist Hospital and has been going for a couple of years. Commissioner Bolinger inquired if they have reached out to churches in the community. Ms. Olson stated Galilee Lutheran has several congregations at that location and she can provide the Pastor's contact information. Commissioner Beltmann suggested they use the Nextdoor app to send out information on the neighborhood meetings and provide information at National Night Out. Mr. O'Neill stated they will have a brochure available for National Night Out. Chair Holub suggested they use volunteers to provide more face time with neighborhood groups during National Night Out. Commissioner Peterson inquired how they plan to advertise the proposed events. Mr. O'Neill stated they plan to advertise in the Roseville newsletter and it will also be on the Fire Department's web page. They hope to have it on the City's website after the article in the newsletter goes out. Ms. Olson noted it will also be in the City's electronic newsletter and will be provided to the usual media outlets. She suggested they also contact the City's Business Council.
