Welcome and Announcements
Ron: Two resolutions from committee meeting —
1) Resolution about Bridge program-federal funding through HUD; find general funds more like a social services contract.
2) ECC suggested that the City Council endorse the SRAP. This resolution will be presented at the city council meeting tomorrow. This resolution was passed out at the meeting but can also be found attached to the city council agenda online. a. Assuming that this resolution will be passed on consent. Would be nice to send emails to HHS subcommittee to thank them for their support (Martinez,
Riley, Morrison, and Tovo)
Leah: Success By 6 will send out a link to the updated Progress Report based on suggested changes.
School Readiness Action Plan
Recommendations from Ready Healthy Children committee
Strategy 1, Tactic C

Ron: Agency names (such as Head Start, Strong Start, Any Baby Can, Parent in
Recovery) should not be listed in the tactics column. o Another example would be dual generation instead of listing AVANCE.

Laura: Agency names should be listed in the data definition but there is power in naming the agencies that we are working with.

Ben: Where is that best achieved? I propose to add agency names in the status column to report appropriate updates in a specific timeline. o The rest of the group did not have any objections.
Laura: Add an on-going new tactic that focuses on improving data collection and research; better measurement and data around preventative health care section. This tactic might fit better in the Ready Communities section.
Reporting year is from May to May.

Chantel: What is the status of the data dictionary?

Laura: All of the measurements for each tactic have been calculated. We are currently working on a glossary for specific word definitions. The agency names are recorded in the data dictionary.

Tara: The data dictionary is a living document.
The leadership team posed this question: How do we record our progress historically? This is a longer conversation.

o What do we do when a tactic is completed? Do we pull it out? Maybe we would when we publish the next 3-year SRAP.
Susan: Wants to participate more in the Ready Healthy Children Committee.
Upcoming Stakeholder Meeting

Should we present tactic section as blank slate or with SRAPLT proposed changes? o Ron: Blank slate is a slippery slope, opening up the possibility to add tactics without filtering through the SRAPLT could be problematic. o Leah: Suggestions would be filtered through the SRAPLT. o Meg: This is an important process question, we should gather more feedback based around whether the tactics make sense or if they need to be refined. o Laura: We want providers to see themselves as a larger part of the SRAP. We should do a survey of service providers to find out what services they provide based on strategies. Laura will create this survey. o Chantel: At the stakeholder meeting, they should focus on the status column and which tactics are incomplete and how they could help in the process of completing them.
