He said t hey needed better signage 96 <br /> 97 <br />Commissioner Josephson said he attended the October dialogue . He thought people did not get a lot 98 <br />out of it. He wanted more conversation. Speakers just talked about Roseville being great. 99 <br /> 100 <br />Commissioner McKenzie said the goal of t he meeting was to create an opportunity to meet your 101 <br />neighbors and learn about the diversity in Roseville. 102 <br /> 103 <br />Commissioner Grefenberg noted the follow up to participants, sending monthly mailings to 104 <br />participants, as a step in the right direction. 105 <br /> 106 <br />City Manag er Bill Malinen said he remembered the purpose of the first dialogue was to expose the 107 <br />community to the reality of how diverse our community is. He said the dialogue was a forum where 108 <br />people can understand we are different and embrace our diversity. When w e understand others, we 109 <br />are better able to relate and be a better community. 110 <br /> 111 <br />Chair Singleton read the promotion for the dialogue. “W e will continue our dialogue by listening to 112 <br />each other; welcoming diversity; and opening up opportunities for genuine rela tionships. In the 113 <br />process we will learn from and about each other and enrich our knowledge of ourselves as 114 <br />individuals and as a community.” 115 <br /> 116 <br />Chair Singleton said he believed the dialogues accomplished this goal. 117 <br /> 118 <br />Financial Report 119 <br /> 120 <br />City Manager Bill Malinen reviewed the financial report. He explained the Priority Based 121 <br />Bu dgeting, which the Council ranked services according to priorities, and advisory commissions 122 <br />we re not as high of a priority as other items, so the commission budget will likely be reduced in 123 <br />2012. 124 <br /> 125 <br />Commissioner Grefenberg asked that the budget reflect the $250 for Project 515 in the proposed 126 <br />expenditures. He noted that approximately $1,325 is likely to be spent so that means the HRC has 127 <br />about $900 in its budget for the rest of the year . 128 <br /> 129 <br />New Commissioner Applications 130 <br /> 131 <br />City Manager Malinen said that the city had received a couple of applications with a Friday 132 <br />deadline . 133 <br /> 134 <br />He noted that the joint meeting with the City Council was scheduled to start at around 7:05, so 135 <br />Commissioners should plan to b e at the meeting at that time. 136 <br /> 137 <br />Business I tems 138 <br /> 139
