Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br /> August 15, 2018 —Draft Minutes <br /> Page 10 of 13 <br /> 404 <br /> 405 Commissioner Bolinger thought they might have a question asking about an initiative <br /> 406 that did not go as planned and why does the department believe it did not meet the <br /> 407 outcomes. <br /> 408 <br /> 409 Chair Beltmann recapped the question discussed. <br /> 410 <br /> 411 Ms. Olson thought the first part discussing the successful engagement initiative, item <br /> 412 f should be listed first and then go into the other questions. <br /> 413 <br /> 414 Chair Beltmann stated as far as next steps, she will redraft and have staff put into <br /> 415 Survey Monkey, a timeline will be developed, and the survey should be sent out by <br /> 416 August 281h with it being due September 21". They could review the responses and <br /> 417 summarize them at the October meeting. <br /> 418 <br /> 419 The Commission concurred. <br /> 420 <br /> 421 Chair Beltmann asked if they wanted to add follow-up interviews to their September <br /> 422 agenda or wait until all the responses come in. She stated the last piece of this item is <br /> 423 to review and discuss outreach/engagement research, she wondered if anyone had <br /> 424 comments. <br /> 425 <br /> 426 Commissioner Bolinger found this very challenging with the open-ended question. <br /> 427 She had trouble getting any concrete data from different cities. She stated she did <br /> 428 find a couple of things; The City of Falcon Heights has something called <br /> 429 "Neighborhood Liaison"that the neighborhood community commission oversees, and <br /> 430 she was thinking this as a Community Liaison that the last question in the survey <br /> 431 would work well. This would be someone to a contact person, someone the City can <br /> 432 communicate through. <br /> 433 <br /> 434 Commissioner Bolinger stated the St. Paul School District is looking at a different <br /> 435 way to bring the whole family in to get to some of the underrepresented communities. <br /> 436 There is a whole process needed to build trust before needs can be identified. <br /> 437 <br /> 438 Commissioner Bolinger stated she found a community video that demonstrated <br /> 439 community pride in Montgomery Ohio. Another engagement program she found that <br /> 440 was very effective was having a booth at all their events showing all the engagement <br /> 441 programs available in the city along with volunteer programs. She also found some <br /> 442 cities have a resident welcoming packet. <br /> 443 <br /> 444 Chair Beltmann wondered if they could use a shared drive, such as google drive, so if <br /> 445 someone finds research they can post it to a shared drive for other Commissioners to <br /> 446 review. <br /> 447 <br />
