LOVELACE III, SECRETARY DATE  HRC Updates May 20, 2021 Babs Gellman - Chair ● I viewed the FB on-line panel discussion “Adolescent Mental Health in the Time of COVID 19” webinar presented by Harvard T.H. Chan and NAMI (now posted on the HRC FB Page). I thought this was really well done, including therapists, experts, educators, and best of all, students. The stories and suggestions were great! https://www.facebook.com/events/523022808710136/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_histor y%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22search_results%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22book mark%22%7D]%7D.

Page 1  May 2021 Report Education Subcommittee of the Human Relations Commission City of St. Charles, Missouri Education Committee Members: Tina Meier, Ed Bryant, Jessica Sutton, & Wade Steinhoff 1. On April 22, 2021 at 3:30 pm, Tina Meier, Jessica Sutton, and Wade Steinhoff met via Zoom for our meeting. • Discussions included: o We discussed the recap of our previous meeting with Shanton (We will begin with an introduction to city employees of “Who the HRC is”, “What does the HRC do”, and “Why do we do what we do.” This will also include DEI definitions, our social media account, monthly commissioner meetings, and a teaser of upcoming trainings that will be available in Qtr. 3 and 4 of 2021. Shanton will approve and email it to all city employees. Goal: Qtr. 3 (July 2021 o Jessica is finalizing the “Who the HRC is” FAQ style introduction letter and should have it completed by May 14th. The Education Committee will review and make any necessary changes. If there is time prior to the submission of the May agenda packet, we will provide the letter. o Ed created a document entitled “Introduction to Diversity and Inclusion” that has definitions, different types of diversity, and the benefits of DEI for organizations. A copy has been attached to this report. o Tina reached out to the following organizations that provide DEI trainings and presentations: 1. Inspire-eLearning: The United Way has used this company to provide DEI training. A rough ballpark would be around $10- $12/user per year. A license can also be transferred to a net new employee if one leaves. They will provide their hosted LMS to deploy and track the training completion as well as employee transcripts and certifications. They occasionally run monthly based promos to improve cost. 2. MO Department of Labor: They provide presentations and trainings that can be customized to fit different business needs. I filled out the training request form on April 23rd, but to date have  not received a response back. I did send a follow-up email on May 13th. 3. University of Missouri Extension: I have sent an email to get an updated price and how they are providing their course: Navigating Difference. Cultural Awareness Training. o Once we have gathered these last few items, we will forward them to Shanton Fountain for her review and her plans to move forward for trainings. Introduction to Diversity and Inclusion Diversity takes into account all of the attributes and characteristics that make people unique. Although diversity can refer to various categories and aspects, sometimes we define it in common and recognizable categories, such as, but not exclusively… • Race • Gender • Ethnicity • Sexual Orientation • Age • Ability • Sex • Religion Inclusion is defined by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) as “the achievement of a work environment in which all individuals are treated fairly, and respectfully, have equal access to opportunities and resources, and are able to contribute fully to the organization’s success.” The 4 Types of Diversity: • Internal – characteristics we are born with and can’t change • External- characteristics that can change over time and be influenced • Organizational- characteristics that are based on where we are assigned within an organization • Worldview – our beliefs and lenses through which we see the world that are largely based on our socialization and that can change over time. Diversity Categories: • Gender Diversity • People with Disabilities • Race vs. Ethnicity • LGBTQIA+ • Intergenerational • Others? Benefits of Diversity and Inclusion for Organizations: • Strengthens collaboration and learning by bringing new and various ideas and experiences into the work environment • Helps to create a better problem solving process to addressing problems • It improves creativity and encourages meaningful conversations within and throughout the organization • Allows us to be aware and open to others’ perspectives, values, and beliefs • Stimulates learning about different and maybe better ways of doing things • An inclusive workplace helps attract and retain top talent • When the culture is inclusive people feel supported and engaged • Improve customer service  Social Media & Marketing Committee Report May 10, 2021 To: HRC Commissioners From: Chuck Lovelace Babs Gellman Social Media & Marketing Committee Purpose: Deliver messaging focused on fulfilling HRC’s purpose, and news about HRC activities, to ensure the community is aware of, and engaged with the HRC. Events GOAL: Hold three events/activities over the course of the year, to promote awareness of the HRC and increase community engagement. “Respect, Harmony and Understanding Week” was held on-line via FB April 19-23. Three hashtags were created and used throughout the marketing: #RHUWeek, #StCharlesHRC and #StCharlesCity. Both #StCharlesHRC and #StCharlesCity will now be reused. All of the event marketing mentioned in our last report was completed. Posts were made as previously shared and we saw some participation. The original FB post reached 5.4k people - our second highest post reach this year. Overall, we are pleased with the outcome, feeling we are getting our work and message out to more and more people. The City of St. Charles School District plans to host the 6th Annual Family Festival on Thursday, August 19, 2021 from 5-7PM. This event offers local organizations that serve youth and families the opportunity to showcase their offerings to parents and students (pre-K-12) in the district. The goal is to help meet the emergent health, hunger and hygiene needs so every child can be successful in school. This year's event will be a drive through held at the Jefferson Intermediate and Monroe campus located at 2660 Zumbehl Road, St. Charles, MO 63301. Vendors who attend will be given a space in the parking lot to hand out information to cars as they drive through. Page 1  Social Media & Marketing Committee Report The HRC has participated in this event in the past. In 2019, the Commissioners handed out grade appropriate books, fair housing items (fair housing coloring books and crayons), candy, and information about city services and tourism. The event was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, it is hard to know how this drive through approach might work, but we are recommending we participate. We would like the Commissioners to agree on our participation and will ask for a vote to do so, at the May meeting. If we proceed, we will ask all Commissioners to participate if possible and to let us know if you intend to do so. We will then work on a plan (inclusive of what is available to be given out) for the event in the coming months and will keep you posted. Page 2  Social Media & Marketing Committee Report Since we have now taken on Fair Housing as part of our remit, we are investigating educational opportunities as a potential Social Media and Marketing sponsored event. We have contacted EHOC (Equal Housing and Opportunity Council) to see what might be available and the related details. We will keep you posted and ask for Commissioners to approve this training once we have the additional details. Website GOAL: Redesign the HRC City website to provide more information regarding the HRC and our work to the public. Make it user friendly, accessible and relatively easy to maintain. Recommended changes delivered to the Commission by end of April. Recommended changes were delivered by the end of April. We have since discussed those recommendations with the City Media Department. The meeting was productive with our ideas and suggestions being well received. As expected, some things will be easier than others, but no idea has been discounted at this time. We agreed to start with the low-hanging fruit and expect to see some initial work on May 18th. Facebook GOAL: Increase HRC Facebook Page likes by 10% by year end, to further broadcast the message and mission of the HRC and educate and engage the community. Extend the Facebook reach by adding a feed to the website. Our FB page likes increased 7% from April 1, 2021 to May 1, 2021 (see Appendix A) and 38% from the beginning of the year. Our page likes at month end were 336. Number of posts in April (37) held steady from the prior month (see Appendix B). Commissioners continue to provide content with one missing their opportunity during April to help broadcast the HRC cause. Thank you all. Chuck has added May’s HRC Meeting as an Event on FB and will continue adding our meetings each month. In April we took a break from the personal reflections of previous months to instead focus on the RHU Week as our Feature Post. The initial post reach was shared above, with each post involved adding to that number. May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. We were unable to find someone fitting that identity who would be willing to write a Feature Post. Alternatively, Commissioner Bryant provided a great resource on this topic that we will be using to create posts throughout the month (thanks Ed!). For June, Jason has offered to attempt to connect us with various people representing the diverse LGBTQ community, to provide an article each week of PRIDE Month, to be posted on FB. The Administrative Committee is proposing a proclamation for the Month (see their report). Along with that, we will promote the month with posts, and will ask followers to “Share Your Pride”. Specifically, we will be asking them to share stories or pictures of how they are celebrating the month, and/or their life, what makes them proud to be who they are, and/or who they most admire in the LGBTQ community (past or present) and why. Page 3  Social Media & Marketing Committee Report We are looking into doing a multicultural on-line reading event during the month of July. As previously shared, the idea is to have the reader match (if possible) the identity (race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, etc.), of someone in the story, to give it a feeling of authenticity. Once again, your suggestions for people to do a video reading would be most helpful. City Bi-Monthly and e-Weekly Newsletters We stated above we will be obtaining submissions for FB posts (via Jason) to promote PRIDE Month (June) and are looking to include these in the e-Newsletter as well. Next bi-monthly paper newsletter deadline is June 14th for the July publication. While we are considering some of the Social Media & Marketing activities for inclusion, if any Commissioner or Committee has an idea for newsletter content, please let us know.

Plan completed by May 1. This goal was completed by Apr 5th. HRC Hub GOAL: Create an on-line hub accessible to the Commissioners, for the purpose of storing and collaborating on their work, and to provide easy access to non-public Commissioner resources. This will make our work easier and produce informed, cohesive, better quality, work. Officer Hub pilot to be completed by Jul 1. Nothing more to report. No further action will be taken until we have agreed on what information will be maintained on the website, so we can narrow down what remains to be organized/shared. Commissioner Handbook GOAL: Create a Commissioner Handbook to provide written requirements, guidance, policies, procedures, and standing plans for the HRC, so that we approach and carry out our work with the same understanding, speaking and acting on behalf of the Commission. First draft completed by Sep 1. Nothing further to report. Strategic Plan Nothing new to report. As previously reported, we are developing a Strategic Plan outline to help us better plan for 2022. Once that is developed, we will work on how best to complete the plan. Goal for outline completion is Sep 1. Page 1  Administrative Committee Report Budget Chuck has ordered the table and chairs approved in the 2021 budget. Chuck reached out to several vendors to collect cost estimates for promotional items 2021/2022. Using the criteria of having things that won’t be quickly tossed, that can contain HRC contact details, and that are useful and/or fun, along with some variety so we can make use of the spinning wheel, the Administrative Committee proposes the following items/quantities for purchase. The 2021 agreed upon budget for promotional items was $400 and $1200 for the tentative 2022 budget. We will ask for a vote at the May meeting to proceed with purchasing the 2021 items, and to include these specific items for the 2022 budget. 2021: 1. 500 pens; @ $.90 each for a total of $450; https://www.kooziegroup.com/US/bic- prevaguard-clic-stic-pen 2022: 1. 1000 Stickie Pads; 25 sheet, 3x4 @ $.55 each for a total of $550; https://www.kooziegroup.com/US/bic-value-4-x-3-adhesive-notepad-25-sheet-pad 2. 500 Drawstring Bags; 14.5 x 14.5" @ $1.37 each for a total of $685; https://www.vistaprint.com/clothing-bags/bags/drawstring/non-woven- drawstring?xnav=Unknown%3AGallery_Gallery_undefined_tile-cta_0_SKU-549700 3. 500 Potato Chip Clips; @1.36 each for a total of $680; https://www.kooziegroup.com/US/ultra-clip 4. Total $1,915. When discussing shirts for Commissioners, we developed an alternate idea. Purchasing aprons instead of shirts would cut down on costs which would allow us to purchase one for every Commissioner in 2021 rather than only seven. This wearable HRC identifier would be transferable, being able to be used by any current or future Commissioner, or even volunteer. We have included both costs here and have set the selection as an agenda item to be voted upon at the May meeting. We have a budget of $212.01 for 2021 and have included $304 for 2022. ● Mister Stitcher Shirts start at $21.98 (depending on color and size) plus $8 per shirt for embroidering the logo. This is the recommended shirt: https://shop.companycasuals.com/p/3859_TrueNavy?text=st650. Total for eleven Commissioner shirts would be approximately $330. Buying for volunteers would be a challenge if not impossible. ● Mister Stitcher aprons, including front pockets and log, cost $15 a piece. The cost for eleven aprons, so each Commissioner would have one, would be $165. These could all be purchased in 2021 and we could plan on purchasing 5 extras in 2022 for volunteers and/or as replacements for any damaged. https://www.misterstitcher.com/apparel/ Last meeting the Commissioners voted that we should move forward with the 2022 Budget Suggestions that had been provided, gathering more details to be later agreed upon. The above items dealt with promotional items and shirts/aprons. The attached 2022 Budget Proposal has been updated to tweak costs and provide details for budget submission to the City. At the May meeting, we will be asking for a final vote to approve our budget request. Page 2  Administrative Committee Report PRIDE Month Last month we discovered we would be unable to attend St. Charles Pridefest because it has been cancelled. In lieu of that, we are suggesting the Commission ask the Mayor to Proclaim June “PRIDE Month” in St. Charles. A copy of the proposed Proclamation is attached and we will be asking, at our May meeting, for a vote to move forward with this. Should we agree, and the Mayor make this proclamation, we will invite some key representative(s) of the LGBTQ+ community to attend the City Council meeting for the presentation.
