Mr. Kittrell reviewed the draft agenda. The proposed title for <br />the Forum is "Building Confianza: Developing Trust and Improving Access Through <br />Service to Hispanic /Latino Community in Orange County." <br />In the ensuing discussion several suggestions and additions to the draft agenda were <br />made, including: <br />• Recreational Opportunities (This could take the form of a booth or table) <br />• Educational Opportunities <br />• The "Los Ninos" Report <br />• Tensions between the Black and the Hispanic communities <br />• Economic Justice <br />• Job Training and Skills Development <br />Ms. Annette Moore of the Human Rights and Relations Department, who assisted the <br />Topics Committee in developing the agenda, said that there are many issues that need <br />to be addressed, but the ones that were chosen will help develop trust between the <br />Hispanic community and the rest of Orange County. The people who were contacted by <br />the Topics Committee felt that building trust was an important issue. <br />Mr. Kittrell said that the topics discussed this evening can be incorporated into the <br />Forum, and he would like to start contacting the proposed speakers and moderators for <br />the Forum immediately because of scheduling. <br />The members commended the Topics Committee for a job well done. <br />A motion was made by Louise Echols to adopt the Draft Forum Agenda as presented by <br />the Topics Committee. Vote: unanimous. <br />Forum Participation Until the Completion of the Day <br />There was discussion about the issue of participants of the Forum leaving after the <br />luncheon. Several suggestions were given on ways to encourage people to stay until <br />the Forum is completed. These included: <br />• Literature to be given out in the afternoon session instead of in the morning session <br />• Part of the personal testimonies will be given in the morning, and the remainder in <br />the afternoon <br />• The nominal $10.00 registration fee <br />Flyer to be Sent Out With the Agenda <br />Mr. Kittrell suggested that a flyer or brochure accompany the agenda when it is mailed <br />out. This was unanimously approved. Ms. Moore said that her department has a <br />brochure that would be appropriate for this purpose. Ms. Echols said that the state has <br />many good brochures, as well. <br />\\ OCEMAILIAPPSIUSERSIUSERSWMARTINIMY _DOCSIHSACIMINUTESIO&2899.dx; Last printed 07/01/88 10:34 AM <br />
