20 <br /> • What was the demographic breakdown of participants in the Visioning Workshop,the <br /> Community Values Survey and the focus groups? <br /> Hagerty Consulting Response: <br /> Demographic information from the Community Values Survey is included above. We did not <br /> capture demographic information of participants in the Visioning Workshop nor the Focus Group <br /> meetings, as participation is typically determined by a person's role in the recovery process, <br /> which is not typically determined or influenced by demographics. <br /> The role of BIPOC Community Leaders and public facing surveys is to provide the perspective that <br /> shape the plan, but then subject matter experts from the Long-Term Recovery Group are <br /> responsible for designing an implementation approach. For example, we heard from the Latinx <br /> community that childcare was especially challenging for their community;now we will take that <br /> information to the Social Services Recovery Support Function to ask the implementing <br /> organizations (government entities, private non-profits, etc.)how to design strategies that <br /> effectively addresses the childcare issues as described by the community. <br /> • Regarding the impact assessment detailing the impact of COVID-19 on the Orange County <br /> community,was any data recovered on the impact on local businesses? If so, can we be <br /> provided with that data? <br /> Hagerty Consulting Response: <br /> The complete Impact Assessment is available on the long-term recovery planning website <br /> (orangencforward.org). However, the attached draft economic impact assessment includes an <br /> even more comprehensive suite of data compiled related to the impact Covid-19 has had on local <br /> businesses. Please note that this document is still being reviewed and edited by the Economic <br /> Recovery Support Function. <br /> • Progress Report on County-wide Long-Term Recovery Plan - Is the committee planning to create <br /> an agenda to propose to the state legislature for policy changes that would enable/support our <br /> local recovery,for instance clean energy policies, strengthened unemployment and heath care <br /> policies, etc.? <br /> Staff Response: If this is the Council's interest,we can take it back to the Project Management <br /> Team for more discussion.The Project Management Team includes staff representatives from <br /> Carrboro, Hillsborough, Orange County and Chapel Hill. <br />
