SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2005-02-24 | 2 | Minutes of the SSHRB, February 24, 2005 Page 2 Franz explained that the Workgroup priority is to rework the Needs Assessment and make it a living document. The Family Services Workgroup is participating and would like the survey to be available for the Festival of Families event in May. With approximately 30,000 households in Alameda the surveys could be a useful tool for identifying service issues. We could also find out what other CBO's do to gather information. The survey might be posted online so it could be tallied as you go, instead of having to re-enter the data. The Workgroup is exploring the use of focus groups to gather and distribute the information. Franz invited SSHRB members who haven't yet joined a Workgroup to participate in this process. Family Services Workgroup: Reported under Item 4. Sister City Workgroup: Vice-President Chen reported that the Workgroup is very busy. A delegation from the Hunan providence will be visiting Alameda on March 2nd. Council Member Matarrese and Mayor Johnson have agreed to be in attendance. The Workgroup is working to establish a "rapid response" process for welcome traveling delegations. Two groups from Wuxi are scheduled to arrive in the next couple months. President Franz motioned to re-open 3-C and asked the Board to reallocate another $300 ($500 total) to purchase items for visitors with funding coming from Workgroup fundraising activities. A motion allowing staff to identify and purchase small souvenir items up to $300 for visiting delegations (Bonta/Wasko) was approved 6/0. BOARD AND STAFF COMMUNICATION, NON-AGENDA Staff distributed an email invitation from the Alameda County Human Relations Commission to participate in a meeting regarding the formation of a Countywide anti-hate effort. Member Hanna agreed to go and report back at the March Board meeting. President Franz reported that five separate CBO's are working together for fund raising on the Mayor's Race this year, and asked that the Board consider honoring this collaboration as an example of diverse community groups working together to benefit residents. A request was made to update the SSHRB brochure and for staff to check into prices and any City policy in place for business cards for Board members.
