County Community Services Presentation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Work Session: April 11, 2016 AGENDA ITEM: County Community Services Presentation AGENDA SECTION: Updates PREPARED BY: Dwight Johnson, City Administrator AGENDA NO. 3.c. ATTACHMENTS: PowerPoint presentation by Kelly Harder APPROVED BY: ddj RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider a presentation on county/regional community services for Council and commission members BACKGROUND Mayor Droste and I recently heard a presentation by Dakota County Community Services Director Kelly Harder on poverty in our county and region. Mr. Harder’s department is responsible for social and human service programs. What is unique and interesting about his presentation is that it takes a holistic approach that all facets of community life need to be coordinated to make progress on poverty and providing opportunities for all people. He has considerable data on what works and what doesn’t and is known for his interest and ability to form collaborations among agencies to solve problems. Mr. Harder has presented to a number of groups including the county school superintendents and many others. He offered to present his information directly to local city councils. The Mayor suggested to me that if he came to Rosemount, perhaps commission members should be invited also. RECOMMENDATION The Council should determine whether or not there is interest in inviting Mr. Harder to Rosemount and possibly consider some dates. Pathways from Poverty to Thriving in Dakota County Growing Capacity and Reducing Dependency Mayor-Manger Meeting 3-18-2016 Purpose of work today •Gain further clarity of issues around poverty impacting Dakota County •Review poverty data trends & patterns •Understand what research & practice says about addressing poverty •Discuss reaction to information and Gather any additional questions or needs you may have 2 What do we mean by Poverty? IS NOT: Extreme Poverty “A condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on income but also on access to services." The term 'absolute poverty', when used in this fashion, is usually synonymous with 'extreme poverty‘ * Wikipedia - defined by the International Community as earning less than a $1.25 a day, as measured in 2005 international prices. INSTEAD: Relative Poverty The condition in which people lack the minimum amount of income needed in order to maintain the average standard of living in the society in which they live. Relative poverty is considered the easiest way to measure the level of poverty in an individual country. Relative poverty is defined relative to the members of a society and, therefore, differs across countries. People are said to be impoverished if they cannot keep up with standard of living as determined by society. * Study.com – American sociologist Robert K.
