Committee Chair Tischel read the proposed guidance to members, saying the purpose is to \"educate and engage the Keizer community by highlighting individuals, organizations, or causes that hold relevance to our city.\" The draft instructs speakers to limit presentations to one person and five minutes, have materials ready before presenting and notes a photo opportunity with the mayor after speakers conclude.

Nut graf: Committee members framed the document as informational rather than restrictive, saying the guidelines aim to clarify logistics and expectations for proclamation presenters so audiences can learn from those remarks without limiting the content of people’s lived experiences.

Members who spoke described the guidance as a tool to set expectations and reduce surprise for presenters and staff. Committee member Bullen said the guidance is intended to clarify \"This is the expectation. This is what we are hoping to accomplish,\" adding that the intent is not to censor speakers. Councilor Price praised the discussion as a constructive example of differing views and said the language was straightforward.

Staff and committee members also added a technical request: any presenter who plans to use audio or visual materials should provide those files about 24 hours before the meeting so the city can test connections and avoid last-minute AV failures. City staff suggested an HDMI adapter or advance submission to reduce the chance of technical problems.

The committee made a formal motion to forward the speaker-selection and presentation guidelines to the Keizer City Council for approval; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Members emphasized the guidance should remain encouraging and informative. The document as presented invites speakers to \"connect the topic directly to Keizer, offer meaningful ways for residents to get involved, and spotlight local efforts working to create positive change.\" Committee members asked staff to confirm an accurate Spanish translation before sending the package to council.

Ending: With the vote, the guidelines will be added to the Aug. 18 city council packet for consideration; committee members said they will confirm the Spanish translation and the AV submission timeline before the council presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Diversity Engagement Committee Meeting - 08/07/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Keizer Community Diversity & Equity Committee on Aug. 7 approved a short set of speaker-selection and proclamation presentation guidelines and voted to forward the guidelines to city council for approval.","taxTitle","Keizer, Marion County, Oregon","taxId",54436,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6487738,"Keizer CDEC plans community meetings, approves outreach postcards for city council review",3826,441000,4267000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5549018-c86f367c97f989b9aa15e80784760cbf&start=441&end=4267","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5549018-c86f367c97f989b9aa15e80784760cbf/thumbnail_441000.jpg","/articles/6487738/Keizer/Marion-County/Oregon/Keizer-CDEC-plans-community-meetings-approves-outreach-postcards-for-city-council-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6487738-c2380c104ee818874b2ed7cc3905b8ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1770456225&Signature=fW1fFCNDjxoxpAtUmobe-vVTUqS6VthHMWfDf9e4PeoCf~hhYrSzbJ6WhVJ3FBJlpTSxxrdoCtLrUo2XThkNAd1MDSN8Xhth0e5~a7PMaCpl0cMU0Xwo57jwZM5hm~02LGL58IqfwCjL8PFAJNdL8eWcqXoZ~5tcR42nO0Tb-pGXqV0mGvdXv8jCsWIpaN-nIUN15oobQTVqwfUR0Fb8qWk8UZcBAukxfWPKX9t5vSrUJa9GTTFGFPnA-Nq-~dxJVbryy03YOvixX-n0EkAdA7MbcxlO4~e~kwMRIHpdWjtjcTCnXIdbgopXBZdWbvbWWiTEGf37SawmNKXfFLLZWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Keizer Community Diversity & Equity Committee on Aug. 7 reviewed a suite of short- and long-term community-outreach goals, discussed potential locations and event formats, and voted to forward outreach postcards to the Keizer City Council for approval.

Nut graf: Committee members prioritized improving participation from underrepresented groups by identifying partner organizations, testing locations for accessibility and visibility, and producing concise outreach materials including bilingual postcards with QR codes linking to city resources and the planned survey.

Discussion: Members reported outreach steps already under way. One member said she is building relationships with the DSP and special-needs community and has a tentative schedule for engagement; another reported recent contact with the NAACP and described an upcoming expungement clinic on Aug. 15 and tabling at the Urban Arts Festival on Sept. 21 and Farmers’ Market on Sept. 13. Committee members suggested potential venues including the rec center, Southeast Community Center, event center, coffee shops, churches, and the renovated Bob Newton Park; accessibility and comfort for new attendees was emphasized.

Several members proposed an outdoor community barbecue or tabling during the summer concert series as a way to meet residents informally; others urged keeping early outreach simple (a table or one-hour presence) and to pilot one location before scaling.

The committee reviewed a postcard design (production led by Barbara Barney and a production manager) meant to be a one-page, visual call to action linking to volunteer information and the city survey. Members noted the draft needs an accurate Spanish translation and functioning QR codes; the committee directed staff to finalize the card and voted to forward the postcards (including the volunteer information and Spanish version) to city council for approval.

Votes at a glance: Approval of July 2025 minutes — motion moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Motion to send speaker-selection and presentation guidelines (proclamation guidance) to city council — moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Motion to send outreach/postcard materials (with Spanish version and added committees) to city council — moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Ending: Staff said the vendor selection for a citywide national survey remains in progress and that the city expects to finalize a vendor and contract in the coming weeks; once that happens the committee will have a chance to add roughly 15–20 questions. The committee set a target to host a community-focused meeting by January (planning) and by July 2026 to hold a public community meeting with partners to collect feedback and reduce barriers to participation.","The Keizer CDEC reviewed short- and long-term outreach goals, discussed community events and target groups (veterans, DSP/special-needs, NAACP partnership), and approved outreach postcards (with Spanish version and QR codes) to be sent to city council for approval.","actionData","errors"]
