BOARD COMMUNICATION 2021 Board Member Term Expirations – Marlene Winter and Tim Searing’s each four-year term as Park Commissioners expire June 1, 2021. They both affirm they each would not be opposed to serving another term. Cynthia Burns motioned to recommend the reappointment of Marlene Winter and Tim Searing to serve as board members on the Parks Commission for another four year term. Motion was seconded, all in favor, motion carried. Kelly will forward the recommendation to the Mayor for these reappointments. Board member asked if the Parks Maintenance could provide signage at Coulon stating the fine for park rule infractions. This is in hope that this reminder might deter people bringing dogs or rid ing bikes inside the park. Another board member expressed that signs have less value if there is not enforcement of the rules (tickets issued with fines). Additional suggestions from board members include: to also ask the Animal Control officers to be less lenient when they patrol the park and for the city to increase marketing with the reason why there are ‘no dogs’ and ‘no bicycle riding’ rules. Leslie Betlach said she would bring these suggestions to Kelly Beymer to follow up on. A board member would like to know what the guideline are for advisory board members regarding adhering to the CDC’s recent statement about the public not having to wear face coverings when outdoors. Leslie will find out the city’s stance on this and share out to the board.

Strategies to Address Implicit Bias Implicit Bias: Individuals Strategies1 1. Stereotype replacement: 1) Recognize that a response is based on stereotypes; 2) label the response as stereotypical; and 3) reflect on why the response occurred. This creates a process to consider how the biased response could be avoided in the future and replaces it with an unbiased response. 2. Counter-stereotypic imaging: Imagine counter-stereotypic others in detail – friends, co-workers, respected community members, even celebrities. This makes positive images more available and begins the process of replacing the negative often inaccurate stereotypes. 3. Individuation: Learn specific information about your colleagues. This prevents stereotypic assumptions and enables association based on personal and unique, rather than group, characteristics. 4. Perspective taking: Imagine oneself to be a member of a stereotyped group. This increases psychological closeness to the stereotyped group, which reduces automatic group-based evaluation. 5. Increasing opportunities for contact: Increased contact between groups can reduce implicit bias through a wide variety of mechanisms, including altering their images of the group or by directly improving evaluation of the group. (ex: learn about other cultures by attending community events and other public educational opportunities like exhibits, media, etc.) Implicit Bias: Practices Institutions can Establish to Prevent Biases from Seeping into Decision-making2 1. Doubt Objectivity: Presuming oneself to be objective actually tends to increase the role of implicit bias, teaching people about non-conscious thought processes will lead people to be skeptical of their own objectivity and better able to guard against biased evaluations. 2. Increase Motivation to be Fair: Internal motivations to be fair rather than fear of external judgments tend to decrease biased actions. 3. Improve Conditions of Decision-making: Implicit biases are a function of automaticity. Think slowly by engaging in mindful, deliberate processing, not in the throes of emotions prevents our implicit biases from kicking in and determining our behaviors. 4. Count: Implicitly biased behavior is best detected by using data to determine whether patterns of behavior are leading to racially disparate outcomes. Once one is aware that decisions or behavior are having disparate outcomes, it is then possible to consider whether the outcomes are linked to bias. 1 http://www.kingcounty.gov/elected/executive/equity-social-justice/tools-resources.aspx, Perception Institute, Patricia Devine, PhD, et al, 2012. 2 http://www.kingcounty.gov/elected/executive/equity-social-justice/tools-resources.aspx, Perception Institute, Jerry Kang, JD et al., 2014.
