CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Urban Affairs Advisory Committee Minutes June 26, 2018 Page 2 of 4 Chair Schwartz suggested small flags be purchased with the 50th logo on and use them on the Ring Route. Mr. Nordquist said GR Promotions could be doing the logo and flags could be addressed from May through September. Discussion led to community service projects to build community spirit. Suggestions included Open Door that brings food to senior buildings, Cedar Knolls creating raised box beds, Rotary working with Open Door, and projects for counties that could help low income users. The census records would be able to tract lower income households. Areas of the City could use volunteers to help pick up litter on vacant lots. Some of the community churches are well organized for volunteers to help. Suggestions led to collections bins for school supplies for children in the school district. Sometimes it is easier for parents to drop items off rather than volunteer for four hours for example. Mr. Nordquist said not everyone focuses on social justice. There were 11 keys in the vision update in 2009. Now there are 12 keys. Service was always the last but now moving forward, service is the No. 1 key. The City has been re -ordering the keys. Mr. Mahlum asked if we tie the video to safety month or every month of the year. Mr. Nordquist answered that each department has a message to convey. Committee Member Tom Adamini arrived at 6:40 p.m. Discussion led to diversity in the community and how multiple schools in the district have high diversity now. The Committee discussed the logo presented. MOTION: Breuer moved, seconded by Sohlberg to accept the logo from exhibit 1 with a red apple, white dots, green leaf, green stem and black letters and numbers. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0. Mr. Nordquist presented the design for the Rotary clock and said it would be unveiled in Kelley Park. The clock would be an atomic clock and would never need to be reset. Rotary wants to contribute something that gives recognition to Kelley Park. B. Planning for the 2020 Census Planner/Economic Development Specialist Alex Sharpe introduced the information and led discussion for the planning for the 2020 Census. He stated the 2020 Census is underway and cities across the County have been tasked with assisting the Census Bureau to ensure that all persons are counted. Staff has met with the Regional Census Director to learn about the best practices for establishing a "Complete Count Committee". CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Urban Affairs Advisory Committee Minutes June 26, 2018 Page 3 of 4 The Census is an important tool for the City that becomes the basis for funding and policy decisions. The Census Bureau has found that involving local partners is essential to ensure that the process is successful. The "Complete Count Committee" is the leader of local involvement with the goal of achieving high participation rates and reaching lower responding census tracts. On Census day in 2010, Apple Valley had the 16th best participation rate in the Country. The Census Bureau has tasked all cities to create a "Complete Count Committee" that facilitates encouraging Census participation. When directed to do so, the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee will host representatives from organizations such as faith based organizations, businesses, housing groups, the Chamber of Commerce, and educational institutions. Each of these groups will be asked to offer ways they can assist the Committee to best reach their constituent members. Census Day is April 1, 2020. In early 2019, "Complete Count Committees" will be actively working to encourage response within their community. By establishing the Committee at this time, and providing the background information, the City of Apple Valley will be ready to assist with outreach within the Community. Findings and recommendations from the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee will be presented to the City Council. Mr. Nordquist added there must be a way to reach out to churches to get a whole count. Does not want the Urban Affairs to carry the work but reach out to groups that can be activated. C. Animal Ordinance Community Development Director Bruce Nordquist stated the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee was asked to work on the ordinance in 2013 and 2014. He wanted to familiarize the Committee as requests do come up from time to time to consider additional changes. He added membership on the Committee has sufficiently changed since 2014. The City Council has not directed anything yet. Mr. Mahlum asked if this assignment is in effect. Mr. Nordquist said up until now the City Council has not taken any action but it could come up. 6. Adjourn Hearing no further comments from the Urban Affairs Advisory Committee, Chair Schwartz asked for a motion to adjourn. MOTION: Mahlum moved, seconded by Adamini to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 p.m. Ayes - 6 - Nays - 0.
