3. Old Business
a. Arthur debriefed group on prior meeting. We created an excel spreadsheet to input
community integration pilot survey responses (Arthur, Rachel, & Tiffany). Arthur is
still working on inputting his data. Brandy and Anita did not have surveys to input.
b. Next up! Viva La Musica — Laura, Arthur, Brandy, Tiffany will attend on Sunday,
9/10/17. Arthur will bring copies of survey, clip boards & district maps.
c. Discussed electronic surveys, but agreed to move forward with hard copy to
eliminate communication barriers and for purposes of record retention. We agreed to
keep focus on getting a community random sampling so limit or distinctly track
Friends & Family responses on the excel document.
d. Laura asked about Ethics and Equal Rights Committee's report. Dulce updated the
group by saying it was a preliminary report, the NCBC committee had more
questions for the group, so the committee has more work to do.
e. Brainstorm session for final report in regards to recommendations for what the
committee look like if it's proposed the community becomes permanent (i.e. term
limit, attendance requirement, number of members, residents/non-residents, etc.).
The committee will look on City of Yakima website under "Boards and
Commissions" for examples of already established committees. Dulce reminded the
group that the Council gets to decide, but the committee can make recommendations
in the final report regarding our own unique parameters. Committee discussed
ensuring application process is widely dispersed, not just newspaper or English
media. They discussed adding Spanish media options, youth (ages 16-22), multiple
languages, etc. Committee homework for 9/11 as follows:
i. Bring an outline of priority qualifications for a future, permanent committee.
ii. Make decisions on the format of final report.
