Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes July 17, 2019 Page 13 of 17 Ms. Olson indicated that was correct but if it is an individual name, she would get their permission. Chair Beltmann thought as a rule of thumb, individuals should be checked with first before providing their information and then anything that is connected to an organization is already public information and can just be added to the list. Ms. Olson stated she started a list in the HRIEC google drive and has included several contacts she knows of that are all public entities, along with a focus. e. Close Before You Doze Outreach Discussion Chair Beltmann summarized that the Roseville Fire Department is looking to implement a new initiative for the community called Close before you Doze. As the Fire Department is beginning to develop this initiative, the Fire Department is hoping to receive some recommendations, input, or feedback from the HRIEC regarding the best way to inform non-English speaking residents in this campaign. Ms. Olson noted there was a conversation at the last meeting about where some of the calls for smoke or alarms were sounding and Battalion Chief Halvorson sent her a lot of information and she worked with the City GIS Staff to put together a map that highlights where the calls were. She showed the map to the Commission and reviewed the information with the Commission. Ms. Olson indicated the Commission may want to look at how the Commission may be able to target the people in the areas that are higher risk. She noted the Fire Department has ordered some of the swag already and are working on that first piece. The City of Roseville will have an article in the newsletter that talks about this. She indicated what Battalion Chief Halvorson was hoping to do was get some feedback Trainer within the community to share this message. Commissioner Peterson indicated the SE portion of Roseville is heavily immigrant population and one thing that in the past worked really well with engaging them was Parks and Rec did a bouncy house there for Marion Park and there were a lot of families there. She agreed with Train the Trainer and meeting them where the population is at is really important. She thought presence at events was really important as well. Commissioner Macomber did not see anything that talks about faith based so even inserts in bulletins or classes would be helpful. Chair Beltmann indicated the lower SE corner of Roseville is along the Rice/Larpenteur corridor and thought there might be some opportunity with some of the businesses there.
