Council Questions <br />Item 12: <br />• Who is involved/has been identified to participate in the upcoming planning activity of engaging <br />BIPOC community leaders? <br />Hagerty Consulting Response: <br /> <br />Annette Moore, Director of Orange County Department of Human Rights and Relations, is <br />supporting identification of BIPOC community leaders to engage. Meetings have been scheduled <br />with groups of Latinx, Black, Chinese-Mandarin speaking, and Burmese- and Karen-speaking <br />community leaders. <br />• Did the consultant collect demographic data with the public facing survey? If so, what were the <br />results? <br />Hagerty Consulting Response: <br /> <br />Yes, Hagerty did collect some demographic data in the public facing Community Values Survey. <br />Demographic information captured through the survey is summarized below. <br /> <br />Approximately 60% of respondents identified as female, while just under 20% of respondents <br />identified as male. 12 respondents selected “other” for gender, while the remaining survey <br />respondents did not provide an answer to the question about gender. <br /> <br />Hagerty worked with the Department of Human Rights and Relations to verbally administer the <br />survey to non-native English speakers that would have represented the BIPOC community, <br />however, timing constraints and unforeseen circumstance yielded a lower number of responses <br />from members of those communities than we anticipated. <br /> <br />Generally speaking, the lack of diversity in the survey results is what prompted subsequent <br />meetings with BIPOC community leaders; it was important to the consulting team and the <br />project management team that diverse members of the community were able to participate. <br /> <br />Race/Ethnicity Responses <br />American Indian or Alaskan Native 6 <br />Asian / Pacific Islander 24 <br />Black or African American 43 <br />Hispanic 27 <br />I prefer not to answer. 107 <br />Multiple Ethnicities / Other (please specify) 48 <br />White / Caucasian 1034 <br />No Response 246 <br />18
