SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2005-06-01 | 2 | SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE HUMAN RELATIONS BOARD Minutes of Wednesday, June 1, 2005 meeting Page 2 The Board considered possible strategies for improving the integrity of the survey responses, including: - Changing text in some of the questions. e.g. instead of asking of about professional degrees, write down "Master's Degree" or "Doctorate Degree.' - Administering the survey verbally. Some members of the SSHRB felt that this would make people answering the surveys answer more carefully and would allow the interviewer to address question misunderstandings. Others argued that one-on-one administration is too labor intensive and that there would inevitably be inconsistencies in how the document was administered. In addition, people may be more honest if they are not speaking to someone face-to-face. Member Bonta noted that we could simply try to do enough surveys to be able to eliminate any outliers. - Changing question 7 to read "What is the highest level of education that any family member, currently living with you, has achieved?" WORK SESSION TO PLAN FOURTH OF JULY PARADE ENTRY Carol Beaver suggested that the focus of the Fourth of July be on the Alamedans Together Against Hate message, with other workgroups listed on banners on the side of the trolley. Vice- President Chen, Member Bonta and Ken Werner will definitely be on the trolley. Member Flores-Witte will be on the trolley if she is not in China. Some Even Start families could also ride. The group wants to purchase "No Room for Hate" stickers. Susie Brown will price these and specifics can be worked out at a work group meeting next week. Jim will price the cost of armbands with the No Room for Hate in Alameda message. Carol Beaver asked Alamedans Together Against Hate to fundraise to offset the cost of the event. The SSHRB members agreed to contribute a total of $150 towards the price of stickers. They will also ask Out on the Island and Alamedans from various organizations to contribute. ADJOURNMENT: President Franz called for a motion to adjourn. Motion, second (Bonta/Hanna). Meeting adjourned at 7:40 pm.
