Attachment A <br /> HRIEC to design an engagement strategy for a proactive participation of the communities <br /> affected by the programs/projects. <br /> In addition to evaluating internal processes and building best practice recommendations for <br /> the City. The HRIEC also feels that it is important that the city focuses on developing <br /> strategies for engagement and inclusion of historically under-represented/marginalized <br /> groups in the community. <br /> Engaging this group of community members is one of the main reasons for the creation of <br /> the HRIEC. This effort will require the City to identify specific communities historically under- <br /> represented/marginalized in City that it wishes to engage. The commission will work to <br /> identify leaders in those communities if there are known leaders. If there are no known <br /> leaders, members of the HRIEC will work to establish relationship with members in the <br /> community in order to build trust and to identify leaders in the groups. Listening sessions to <br /> identify issues important to them that the city may not be aware of could be held and the <br /> HRIEC could propose new programs intending to more deeply engage the community. <br /> Proposals for new programs will be discussed by the Commission and voted on. Programs <br /> passed by the Commission will then be sent to the Council for approval before <br /> implementation of such programs. <br /> For self-evaluating purposes, HRIEC will determine parameters that define success before the <br /> implementation of a designed engagement strategy. An after implementation review will <br /> help HRIEC determine whether it met its own goals in order to improve the strategy for <br /> future times. <br /> HRIEC will archive engagement processes for future reference. <br />
