27 1 Chair Rich asked if information could be posted at the Animal Shelter. 2 Todd McGee said the committee will be creating flyers and posters to be distributed at 3 all government buildings as well as businesses, etc. He said the recreation centers and the 4 Sportsplex are also good location to publicize. 5 Commissioner Dorosin said it would also be good to partner with churches. 6 Commissioner Price said yes. 7 Todd McGee said the month of March has 5 Sundays, and pastors generally prepare 4 8 sermons per month, and a 5" Sunday presents an opportunity to coordinate a 5t" Sunday, 9 "souls to the polls" type movement. 10 Commissioner Dorosin said Todd McGee has identified the challenges, such as the 11 digital divide, etc., and seems to have good plans in place. He said is it also possible to partner 12 with the schools, which can stuff backpacks and email parents. He said when he served in this 13 area in 2000, there were more resources available (swag, fliers, etc.), and this may be helpful. 14 Commissioner Marcoplos said he can be a White Cross Volunteer. He said there is a 15 new Hispanic restaurant and market that opened, and the owners are leaders in the Hispanic 16 community and would happy to help spread the word. 17 Chair Rich said there are so many people who are untrusting of official things, and 18 asked if there is a way to better reach these people. 19 Todd McGee said with the low response and hard to reach communities, the best 20 practice is to identify the trusted community members and ask them to deliver the message to 21 the community at large. He said staff is working with the FSA, the Refugee Partnership, and 22 other organizations. 23 Commissioner Price said they want to recruit people of different nationalities, languages, 24 etc. to serve as the trusted messengers. 25 Commissioner Dorosin suggested that Commissioner Bedford bring it up to the 26 Partnership for Young Children. 27 Commissioner Marcoplos said building material suppliers may be a good contact too. 28 Commissioner Price said they are trying to work with the chambers of commerce. 29 Commissioner Marcoplos said he meant places like Lowes, Home Depot, Fitch Lumber, 30 etc. 31 Chair Rich said this will come to the Assemblies of Governments meeting in January. 32 Todd McGee said staff will have the most current information at that time. 33 Commissioner Dorosin suggested putting something on the homepage of the County 34 website. 35 Commissioner Bedford suggested putting information on the buses, etc. 36 Commissioner Dorosin said it is frustrating that local partners will not be more helpful. 37 Chair Rich said she can talk with the Board's OWASA appointees. 38 Commissioner Price said one concern is do people actually read their mail, and if they 39 are looking at the inserts in their bills. 40 41 8. Consent Agenda 42 43 Removal of Any Items from Consent Agenda 44 45 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance 46 (SAPFO) attachment could come in a different format in the future. He said attachment 2 gives 47 total capacity of 100% by elementary, middle and high; while attachment 1 has individual school 48 numbers, but it does not give the sense of the percentage. He said he would like to get the 49 same data by school, and the percentage by capacity.
