The meeting was held in the Tigard Public Library, second floor conference room, at 13500 SW Hall Blvd. ROLL CALL Members Present: Sue Carver, Connie Ramaekers, Chairman Basil Christopher, Gary Jelinek, Patti Anda Members Absent: Rex Caffall,John Harris, Bev Froude Staff Present: Marissa Daniels,Associate Planner;Joanne Bengtson, Executive Assistant- City Administration WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS Basil welcomed everyone to the meeting and thanked Sue Carver who brought homemade cinnamon rolls to the meeting. APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER MEETING MINUTES There was a motion by Sue, seconded by Connie, to approve the November 18, 2009 meeting minutes as presented. The motion carried as follows: AYES: Carver, Ramaekers NAYS: None ABSTENTIONS: Christopher,Jelinek,Anda EXCUSED: Caffall, Harris, Froude CENSUS COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE MEETING First,Marissa gave a brief overview of the Complete Count Committee Training in November. She pointed everyone to a copy of a PowerPoint presentation presented by our Census representative John Chism. She pointed out a few key facts,including that $4 trillion in federal funding will be distributed based on the 2010 Census data over a decade. Sue added that she was impressed by the number of languages—59 the Census will be available in. Connie noted the number of local Census assistance Centers, 100 Be Counted sites and 80 Questionnaire I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\12-09\CCI Minutes Dec 09.docx 1 Assistance Centers in Washington County alone. Marissa asked everyone who missed the training to review the materials included in the presentation. Next, Marissa asked everyone to turn to page 26 in the Census Complete Count Training Manual. Marissa pointed out that she could put together a draft of sections 1-3 of a Tigard Complete Count Committee Work Plan for the CO to review. This includes the overview, committee structure, and timeline sections all of which are pretty straight forward and included in the Census materials. The Committee agreed to have Marissa draft a plan and bring it to the January meeting. Lastly, Marissa showed the CO two maps, one detailing the Hard-to-Count (HTC) areas in Tigard and the second detailing free or reduced lunch in Washington County. The Census provides a database to local jurisdictions including Hard-to Count scores for each Census tract. HCT scores summarize the attributes of each block group in terms if enumeration difficulty. Twelve variables were correlated with nonresponse rates in 1990 and 2000 to derive the HTC score at the tract level. The twelve variables are as follows: • Vacant housing units • Housing units with 2 or more structures • Housing units that are renter occupied • Housing units occupied with more than one person per room • Households that are not married • Housing units with no phone service • Population with less than a high school education • Population below poverty level • Population on public assisted income • Population who is unemployed • Households who are linguistically isolated • Households who moved in 1999 or 2000 Areas with the highest scores are likely to be the areas with relatively high nonreturn rates and undercount rates. In Tigard, the HCT Area is located to the east of the railroad tracks and bound by Bonita Road at the south. As is common across the U.S., this area follows the major highways in Tigard, I-5 and Hwy 217. Although the upper east portion of Tigard is not included in the HCT area, Marissa suggested targeting this area for additional outreach as this area has high free or reduced lunch eligibility, one indicator of low income areas. The Committee agreed to target this area for additional outreach, as income is a factor in determining HCT areas. I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\12-09\CCI Minutes Dec 09.docx 2 Marissa shared her ideas aimed at reaching some of the HCT variables. For example, the City can map all of the apartments in the HCT area to hopefully capture some of the renters. Also, the City can use the business tax database to target any businesses that may attract linguistically isolated populations. CCI members suggested targeting churches,grocery stores, and schools in this area as well. They asked if we can order promotional items and flyers from the Census and Marissa said she would contact John Chism to ask. Patti suggested an additional message promoting the Census could be encouraging people to fill out the forms so that there won't be someone knocking at your door. She also suggested information be available at county clinics. When Gary asked what the pushback was to filling out the forms, Committee members suggested fear and concern regarding the government and language diversity are some of the challenges. Basil mentioned specifically the Office of Homeland Security, and Connie,illegal immigrants who fear being sent back to their country. Additional ideas for outreach included photos of key community members filling out Census forms, and targeting places where young men work because males 18-24 are typically the hardest to reach. NEIGHBORHOOD NETWORKS UPDATE ❖ Steering Committee Applications Joanne started by explaining that there is a lot going on with the Neighborhood Network program. She gave the following list of updates: • She is taking each of the volunteer website administrators to coffee to get their feedback on the program. She has two meetings scheduled this week. • In the Cityscape Newsletter she will be highlighting one neighborhood each month. On topic for the coffee meetings will be to see what each area would like to promote. • She has been working with the Neighborhood Network web administrator for Area 6 who wanted to beef up his page. Area 6 follows the boundaries of the Urban Renewal District and contains the three largest construction projects in the City currently. Project managers are able to feed information directly to Area 6 so information is available on that site that is not available anywhere else. • Oregonian reporter Phil Manzano who runs the blog section of their website requested to be added to the list of website administrators receiving tidbits of information from the City. The City has requested that the Oregonian's Tigard page link to the Neighborhood Network pages. • She has leads on volunteers who will make two more active steering committees; she is just waiting on the applications. • The Neighborhood Network program is starting to get hooked up with the graffiti watch program started by the Tigard Police Department. Area 3 near Greenburg and Hall is currently participating, and another area is anxious to get involved. This program is great I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\12-09\CCI Minutes Dec 09.docx 3 because it helps to solve neighborhood concerns and cuts down on work for staff. Joanne explained to the Committee the typical process for graffiti removal. Because there is more staff time being devoted to this program,Joanne noted all of the above is now possible. ❖ Open House, February 6, 2010 The 3rd Annual Neighborhood Networks Open House will be held February 6, 2010 from 11:00-3:00 in the Tigard Public Library. Dianna Weston, the City's new Community Events Coordinator,will be planning this event.Joanne said a utility bill insert will be coming soon advertising the event. Joanne passed out a map of the draft layout of the open house. She pointed out that the layout will be different this year than in previous years; she would specifically like to highlight the grant programs this year. Similarities to previous years include 13 laptops featuring each of the neighborhoods.Joanne reported that many of the web administrators want to participate in the open house this year. Each neighborhood station will include a 24x36 map of the neighborhood. Another reason for meeting with each of the website administrators is to determine what is unique about each neighborhood. In addition to the neighborhood stations,information about City programs will be available. Specifically,information will be available about the CIP, CERT program, the Dispute Resolution Center, and police programs available to the neighborhoods. Basil asked Joanne about school district participation.Joanne reported that Dianna had invited the Foundation for Tigard Tualatin Schools. Connie suggested that the mission of this organization, raising money, might not be the best fit at the open house. Connie gave the example of the pools issue which is political, and not appropriate for the open house. The committee agreed their participation would be inappropriate. Also, Connie reported,Dianna had approached her about a table for the Community Coalition; Connie thought this would also be a wrong fit for the neighborhood open house. Connie suggested there are other ways to get the school district involved, for example the caring closet and resource center. Basil really wants to ensure the neighborhoods are tied into their local schools.Joanne talked about John Harris and his wife who attended a fair at CF Tigard to hand out candy and lights before Halloween, along with Neighborhood Network information. Patti added that the issue with the foundation is where you draw the line.Joanne agreed, giving the example of Medical Teams International,which is a great organization,who has asked the city to promote their programs. I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\12-09\CCI Minutes Dec 09.docx 4 FANNO CREEK CONFERENCE •'• Logistics Joanne was unable to attend the meeting, but she sent Marissa information to share with the CCI. Nancy Irwin,in Neighborhood Network Area 2,won the Starbucks gift card offered by the City to residents who left comments on their neighborhood websites. Total, only three people left comments and all on the Area 2 page.Joanne hopes to run the contest again after more publicity is done to promote the Neighborhood Network websites. •'• Topics Marissa presented the Committee with a draft list of Fanno Creek Conference topics. At the Council meeting on November 10, 2009 City Council chose four topics from the CCI's topics brainstorm list. At the November CCI meeting, Committee members agreed to have staff draft provocative questions for all four topics and to discuss these topics at the November meeting. Marissa presented the following four questions: • Urban Wildlife: shoot `em or feed `em? • Not in my backyard! Granny Flats and Condos • Rails, Trails, and Automobiles: Where do we put our limited resources? • How should Council prioritize funding on new community facilities? Marissa said the last topic was hard for staff to define. She said they could continue working on this topic. In addition, Council was not very specific when they chose the transportation topic. Staff can also work with Council to further define this topic. For Marissa,it is important that Council can do something with whatever information is received. Patti asked if sidewalks and public lighting could be part of the transportation discussion. Marissa replied yes, pedestrian facilities are certainly a part of our transportation system. Connie suggested inviting members of the TTSD Family Advisory Committee. This group works to target minorities and many of the issues that are discussed there the same as the issues proposed for the conference. For example, building a recreation/community center. She suggested interpretation services be available at the conference. Basil suggested a diversity topic be discussed at the conference. He also suggested this as a goal for next year. He went to the State of Oregon diversity conference and found it to be very helpful. He noted also that the conference is very well attended. Basil also recommended the name of the conference be changed to more accurately reflect the conference. I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\12-09\CCI Minutes Dec 09.docx 5 CITY COUNCIL JOINT MEETING The CCI's annual joint meeting with Council will be held Tuesday,January 19th at 6:30 in Town Hall. Marissa will send out the agenda and materials for this meeting. Part of the time at the meeting time will be reserved for a joint discussion on the Fanno Creek Conference and to make a final decision regarding topics. Basil shared with the Committee that the format of the meeting is more informal. Marissa shared that she will give a brief presentation of the Committees goals and accomplishments from 2009, then the floor will be opened for general discussion. OTHER BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS/NEXT AGENDA • Basil suggested that at one meeting next year the CCI invite a representative from each of the neighborhoods to talk about their impression of the program and to see what is working/ not working. • At-large Committee member's terms are expiring in February. Anyone who would like to continue on the Committee must fill out a volunteer application,included in the meeting packet, and return it to Marissa. ADJOURNMENT Basil adjourned the meeting at 8:35 PM. I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\2009\12-09\CCI Minutes Dec 09.docx 6 Draft January 14, 2010 Complete Count Committee Work Plan 1. Overview 2010 Census Basics The 2010 Census is the first census of the 21sT Century and will count everyone residing in the United States on April 1,2010. All U.S. residents must be counted—people of all races and ethnic groups, both citizens and non-citizens. The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every ten years. The census will show state population counts and determine representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Census questionnaires will be delivered or mailed to households via U.S. mail in March 2010;many households will receive a replacement questionnaire in early April. Census workers also will visit households that do not return questionnaires. The 2010 Census is important. Census data is used to determine the distribution of more than$200 billion annually of government funding for critical community services. It generates thousands of jobs across the country, and it impacts your voice in congress. Census data guide local decision makers and where to build new roads,hospitals, child-care and senior centers, schools, and more. Businesses use census data to locate supermarkets, new housing, and other facilities. Achieving a complete and accurate 2010 Census in Tigard is in our hands. With our help, the Census Bureau will continue to produce accurate data,which will directly affect the quality of life in our community. Tigard can make a difference. On July 14, 2009 Tigard's Mayor Craig Dirksen signed a proclamation in support of the 2010 Census. The Proclamation proclaims Tigard as a 2010 Census partner and says that as a partner the City will: 1. Support the goals and ideals for the 2010 Census and will disseminate 2010 Census information to encourage those in our community to participate. 2. Encourage people in Tigard to place an emphasis on the 2010 Census and participate in events and initiatives that will raise the overall awareness of the 2010 Census and participate in events and initiatives that will raise overall awareness of the 2010 Census and ensure a full and accurate Census. 3. Support census takers as they help our community complete an accurate count. 4. Seek opportunities to collaborate with other like-minded groups in our community, such as Complete Count Committees, to utilize trusted voices to advocate on behalf of the 2010 Census. I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\Census\Complete Count Committee Work Plan.docx Draft January 14, 2010 2. Hard-To-Count Areas Tigard Hard-to-Count Areas The 2010 Census planning database contains "Hard-to-Count" (HTC) scores summarizing the attributes of each census block group in terms of enumeration difficulty. Tigard contains two block groups determined by the Census to be hard-to-count. Map 2-1 illustrates these two hard-to-count areas in Tigard. As you can see this area is generally bound by the railroad tracks and Bonita Road. As is true in many communities the hard-to-count areas generally follow the City's major transportation routes Interstate 5 and Highway 217. Hard-to-Count Score Methodology A total of 12 variables were correlated with nonresponse rates in 1990 and 2000 and were used to derive the HTC score at the tract level. This same method has now been used to calculate at the block group level. The set of algorithms used to determine HTC scores is as follows: (1) the value of each individual variable is sorted across geographic areas from high to low (e.g., sort block groups from highest percent poverty to lowest percent poverty), (2) scores (0 to 11) are assigned to each variable for each block group (e.g.,values of 11 are given to block groups with the highest poverty rates of over 44.3 percent and values of 0 are given to block groups below the national median poverty rate of 9.9 percent in 2000.) This percent distribution generated at the tract-level was used to assign the HTC Scores at the block group level, (3) the scores assigned to each of the 12 variables for a block group are summed to form a composite HTC score for the block group. The 12 variables are as follows: • 2000 HUs—Vacant • 2000 HUs—2+ Unit Structures • 2000 HUs—Renter-Occupied • 2000 HUs—Occ1+ Pers Per Room • 2000 HHs—Not Married • 2000 Hus—Occ No Phone Svice • 2000 Pop—Less than HS • 2000 Pop—Below Poverty Level • 2000 HHs—Public Asst. Income • 2000 Pop—Unemployed • 2000 Hus—Linguistically Isol. • 2000 Hus—Moveln 1999 or 2000 With twelve variables used to produce the HTC scores, the scores can range from 0 to 132. The comparative standing of areas provides an indicator of the likely degree of difficulty in enumeration. Areas with the highest scores (e.g., over 70) are likely to be the areas with relatively high nonreturn rates and undercount rates while areas with the lowest scores are likely to be areas with low rates. I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\Census\Complete Count Committee Work Plan.docx Draft January 14, 2010 3. Tigard 2010 Census Complete Count Committee Purpose Complete Count Committees (CCCs) exist to plan and implement locally-based outreach campaigns that raise awareness of the census and ultimately drive participation. CCCs can achieve this goal through grassroots outreach efforts that promote the importance and benefits of responding to the census. One of the key reasons CCCs are effective in raising awareness is because of the members' knowledge and understanding of what it takes to engage and inspire others to take action. Committee Structure Tigard City Council designated the City's existing Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) to serve in the additional capacity as the City's Complete Count Committee. The membership of the CCI includes nine members appointed by Council,including one slot for a youth representative. The Tigard Committee for Citizen Involvement meets the third Wednesday of each month in the Tigard Public Library, second floor conference room, at 13500 SW Hall Blvd. The Census Bureau Partnership Specialists will serve as technical advisors and information resources for all CCCs;the daily management of responsibilities rest solely with the highest elected official or community leader in charge.

Key Messaging It's In Our Hands t 0 The Census Brand Graphic brings "It's In Our Hands" to life. It shows visually how all different kinds of hands can come together to make one. It's an instantly recognizable mark that can speak to a diverse audience of cultures,groups and businesses. They chose warm, friendly colors for each hand in the graphic. IT'S IN ?LIR HAI+iC35 The intention is that anyone who sees this as a whole will find a sense of inclusiveness and optimism. The colors are not intended to represent different colors of skin,but to represent a wide range of viewpoints and values. And again, all the hands join together as one community. It's Easy! In 2010, every household will receive a short questionnaire that is simple and fast to complete and return. • Number of People in household • Phone number • Name of each person in household • Relationship • Gender • Age/Date of Birth • Race/Ethnicity • Tenure (rent or own?) The Census takes just a few minutes to complete and return by mail. It's Safe! Every Census Bureau worker takes an oath for life to protect the confidentiality of Census responses. By law, the Census Bureau does not share you answers with anyone. Not even other government agencies. • Your answers are protected. • Your identity is safe. It's Important! Every year more than$400 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities based on census data. That's more than $4 trillion over a 10-year period. Completing the Census helps to provide: • Each state's delegation of seats for the U.S. House of Representatives • Community planning such as roads, hospitals, and schools • Jobs • Language Services I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\Census\Complete Count Committee Work Plan.docx Draft January 14, 2010 • Health services Other Messaging Stand up, be counted! Mail it back. Ensure that everyone is counted. We Can't Move Forward Until You Mail It Back I:\LRPLN\Marissa\CCI\Census\Complete Count Committee Work Plan.docx Draft January 14, 2010 5. Outreach Strategies National Campaign The U.S. Census Bureau unveiled its national advertising campaign for the 2010 Census on January 14, 2010,which seeks to boost the national mail-back participation rate by increasing awareness and educating the public about the importance of participating in the once-a-decade headcount. Census Bureau Director Robert M. Groves said during a presentation at the Ronald Reagan Building, "For each percentage point increase in the national mail-back response rate, the Census Bureau saves taxpayers about$80 to $90 million in costs associated with having to send census takers to nonresponding households for in-person interviews." ➢ The $133 million campaign builds on the success of the 2000 Census efforts,where the Census Bureau used paid advertising for the first time and reversed a three-decade decline in public response rates by mail. The four-month 2010 Census advertising campaign will officially start across television,radio,print, outdoor and the Internet on Jan. 18., but the first television spot will debut the night before on NBC's broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards. With ads produced in an unprecedented 28 languages, the 2010 Census advertising campaign will reach the average person 42 times with messages around the importance of participating in the census. More than half of the budgeted advertising will be targeted to media consumed by minority and ethnic audiences. ➢ 2010 Census Web site,located at 2010census.gov with in-depth information on the 2010 Census,plus a social media component. ➢ The 2010 Census Portrait of America Road Tour is designed to educate the public about the 2010 census,inspire interest in the process and encourage participation. Thirteen vehicles will travel across the country from January to April 2010, engaging audiences at events from the Super Bowl to state and county fairs, church functions and community events. Census staff will use vehicles to engage hard-to-count audiences and work with local "trusted voices" and the media to help spread the word that the 2010 Census is easy, safe and important.At Tour events,participants can learn about the 2010 Census and the positive impact their participation can have on their local community and the nation. ➢ "Teach Census"Week in schools nationwide in February,part of the Census in Schools program. ➢ Public service announcements airing nationwide. ➢ The "Take 10"program to encourage every resident to take 10 minutes to fill out their form in an effort to increase mail response rates in March and April.
