Bellevue committee weighs survey results and ways to reach Spanish-speaking residents
Summary
Committee reviewed a resident survey (43 responses), discussed limited Spanish-language participation and proposed targeted outreach via churches, schools and in-person listening sessions to boost engagement.
The planning committee reviewed early results of a public survey and noted modest participation: the meeting recorder cited 43 total responses. The moderator said the majority of respondents live or work in Bellevue and asked the group for ideas to increase engagement among Spanish-speaking residents.
Attendees suggested outreach through St. Charles Borromeo and other Spanish-speaking churches, school-district communications and in-person listening sessions. "I would really like to get engagement participation from Spanish-speaking part of the community," the moderator said during the meeting. Jim Fadi, who described prior in-person sessions that drew high turnout, offered to help distribute materials.
