18 <br /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 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 /> 1 prefer not to answer. 107 <br /> Multiple Ethnicities/Other(please specify) 48 <br /> White/Caucasian 1034 <br /> No Response 246 <br />
