16 <br /> Commissioner McKee echoed concerns about reaching out to the rural community, as <br /> the results are skewed without hearing from everyone. He said Orange County is heavily urban, <br /> but is not exclusively so. <br /> Kayla Slater said she understands this concern, and it is what is driving the engagement <br /> of local community leaders. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked how many Community Leaders were pulled from the rural <br /> pockets. <br /> Kayla Slater said she does not know, but will find out. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said this issue highlights a broader challenge the County has <br /> with outreach and engagement, and the dependence on electronic sources to gather data and <br /> conduct outreach. He said the pandemic has hindered typical ways of on-the-ground outreach, <br /> and the need for creativity is great. He said several County agencies have been addressing this <br /> issue of engagement, and networks had been created to effectively touch those different areas <br /> of our communities. He said Advisory Board members are community leaders that could be <br /> utilized. <br /> Travis Myren said it is more balanced on the urban/rural than the survey demographics <br /> would suggest. <br /> Commissioner Greene suggested reaching out to Schley Grange, Meals on Wheels, and <br /> possibly even churches, such as Lattisville Church to help with this community engagement. <br /> Chair Rich asked if staff would follow up with the BOCC letting it know where outreach is <br /> conducted. <br /> 4.
