12. PART X: Summary Conclusions • Refer to document [16 pp.] • Note Well Hispanic 7-point program relevant to Spanish-speaking minority population [pp. 14-16]

13. 7-Points – Spanish-Speaking Communities of Frankfort • English education for adults; bi-lingual support through key governmental operations until the success of English education • Subsidized or free legal services in landlord-tenant relations, perhaps taking the form of arbitration or mediation resolutions. • Active recreational [soccer, baseball] and cultural programs aimed at the needs of Hispanic people. The acquisition and conversion of Kyger ES and the defunct Wal-Mart as a public facility for community meeting, recreation, health care, and cultural/ art exhibitions and workshops, but inclusive of Hispanic needs, should be explored. • Seek the cooperation of existing lenders to extend credit to Hispanic households and businesses; counseling of Hispanic households and businesses in the establishment of credit, in housing management, and in business management akin to the programs of La Plaza in the Indianapolis metropolitan area; if necessary, establish Hispanic-oriented credit unions, SBA Certified Development Corporations and other institutions to finance the projects of Hispanic households and businesses. • Establishment within the City of an Ombudsperson Office to advocate for the needs, objectives and projects of various citizens, community associations and businesses. That advocacy includes an active grants procurement operation involving intergovernmental aid, and aid to private organizations, households and businesses.[1] Further, the ombudsperson may assist in procuring local programs and other resources, and in recommending to the Mayor and Council measures to remediate the problems faced by ordinary citizens and organizations. • As a multicultural bridge to establish social, recreational and cultural events that combine the Anglo and Hispanic communities of Frankfort. These events recognize the positive impact of the annual summer downtown festival in Frankfort revolving on multicultural food, entertainment and merchandizing. • Continued education and organization of Hispanic communities politically and socially in addressing these indigenous needs, toward the common good of the City, and with the aim of integrating Hispanic peoples in their multicultural neighborhoods and city. • [1] grants/ subsidies/ low cost lending, credit enhancement, etc.through public agencies and corporate foundations; available through “Resources for Indiana Communities In Housing, Community & Economic Development,” a publication of the Indiana City Corporation

14. Findings by ICC Spanish-Speaking Staff • Saddened by absence of integration, and quite self-deprecating • “Hispanic and Anglo people don’t share the use of public spaces. When Hispanics arrive, the Anglos leave.” • Fatalistic [“nothing will change to make our lives better”] • “afraid” • Emphasis on social service needs [contrast to stakeholder interests] • Legal services • Health care • Family counseling/ abuse/ day care • Financial counseling • Public transportation • More and better jobs [‘like Lebanon”]

15. Population Forecasting • Based on Alternate Assumptions of Change Past 20 Years 2025 • Frankfort 18,000 • Clinton [not Howard] County 16,200 • Lebanon 20,400 • Lafayette 21,500 • Hamilton County 36,800
