Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes August 15, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 4 of 13 136 Ms. Olson gave a presentation on City demographic data. She stated this data is the 137 most recent data they have which is two years old. She thought when they are 138 thinking about designing their best practices for engagement, they must keep 139 checking in because what they did last year may not be what they should do this year. 140 141 Commissioner Peterson agreed and said as their population changes and grows or 142 decreases, they should also go along with that as best they can. 143 144 Commissioner Djevi thanked Ms. Olson for putting the presentation together. He 145 stated it looks like SE Roseville is one area in the City that needs some attention. He 146 would not present it as a problem but as an opportunity to improve people's lives as 147 opposed to looking it as a problem they should shy away from. 148 149 Ms. Olson stated the City Council has identified SE Roseville as a priority and is 150 included in their Policy Priority Plan (PPP Plan), and there are a lot of things they are 151 working on in trying to focus on that. 152 153 Chair Beltmann stated it is interesting because she lives in that area and there are 154 pockets in that area that are shifting the information Ms. Olson has provided to them. 155 156 Ms. Olson indicated the information will change and has changed but she has not 157 gotten new information yet. 158 159 Commissioner Djevi asked how they are going to use this information going forward 160 as far as the work they do. 161 162 Commissioner Peterson thought it might be important as they develop their outreach, 163 best practices, to have a primer to that of broad overviews of their demographics with 164 places more information can be found, and highlighting a couple of items the 165 Commission feel might be important depending on the engagement effort and where 166 they are planning to do it. 167 168 Ms. Olson stated from a staff perspective, working in the communications area, when 169 they work to try to get information out to the entire City it makes it difficult because 170 of the vast array of people in the community. They do their best by offering a lot of 171 different methods, but they have a difficult time understanding if those methods are 172 achieving the impact and it is hard to measure some of that. 173 174 Ms. Olson thought with this demographic data, the Commission could talk about best 175 practices based on different criteria using that data. She thought that would be very 176 beneficial. 177 178 Chair Beltmann agreed and indicated this would be useful background information 179 that would inform the Commission of where in the City different groups are located
