Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />June 12, 2019 <br />Page 4 of 19 <br /> <br />was thinking of getting social media to build the program this summer and really roll out <br />this fall to the community. He noted Fire Prevention Month is October. <br /> <br />Commissioner Lee stated there are a lot of tournaments and community events in the <br />summer more so then in the fall. If Battalion Chief Halverson went to some of those <br />events, she could introduce him to some people that could help to serve as an interpreter <br />there because if he waits until fall, he might lose out on some big events, at least for the <br />crime community. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bolinger suggested stopping by the puppet wagon during the summer and <br />there are a lot of families that go with different economic levels.

Senior living apartments. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann added the group adults without children because those people tend to <br />leave their doors open more. She wondered if it would be helpful if the Commission <br />used this as a test case for the work the Commission is doing in terms of outreach and if <br />the Commissioners come back to the next meeting and carry this through on the <br />engagement part of the discussion. <br /> <br />Battalion Chief Halverson indicated that would be perfect. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bolinger thought at the last meeting there was talk about using the census <br />type information to help the Commission reach out and engage but she thought this is an <br />easier contact where the census might be harder to communicate to the communities.
