Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes July 17, 2019 Page 14 of 17 Commissioner Lee noted the Fire Department, in the past, have had events with their fire truck in the cul-de-sac where the Marion Street Brittany Apartments are and should do something like that again because a lot of people turned out for that. Ms. Olson thought the Fire Department was looking for ways to identify people who want to participate in Train the Trainer. Commissioner Peterson thought the Rice Street gardens pulls a fair amount from those apartments and have a meeting every month. She noted she planned on being at th the August 10 meeting if someone from the Fire Department wanted to be there, that would be a great place to meet some community members. Commissioner Djevi wondered if the Commission wanted to take a part in this and identify people from different areas within the city. Commissioner Lee indicated she lived in the NW corner and could work in that area. The Commission reviewed different areas within Roseville for Train the Trainer opportunities. Chair Beltmann thought a good opportunity would be at the library having some programming in the reading area because those seem to be attended by a fairly diverse group of people with families of young children. Commissioner Macomber thought the school system is also a great place. Chair Beltmann noted at Kindergarten screening everyone gets a bag of stuff and could be another opportunity to get material or something out. Commissioner James suggested getting information out during fire safety week in the schools as well. He strongly suggested having the Fire Department make presentations in the schools as well because that will reach the largest number of people in the community. Ms. Olson explained Train the Trainer are in place and there are some specific communities where information can be shared but maybe is received in a different manner if it comes from a trusted source. Commissioner Djevi noticed 6-8 clusters on the map and given that the entire city should be educated on the issue, these are the areas of higher risk so finding trainers to be trained should be something the Commission tries to work on. Commissioner James noted focusing on people who are representing or are in the cluster areas. He thought that makes the most sense.
