Ms. Kelsey 14 advised that, since the Rosefest Parade is believed to be the second largest parade in the State 15 of MN, the City’s Park and Recreation Department was seeking to limit the number of parade 16 units, and asked that the HRA partner with an existing entry with one of the City’s Advisory 17 Commissions. Ms. Kelsey suggested that the City’s Human Rights Commission (HRC) would 18 be a good partner for the HRA. Ms. Kelsey suggested that, rather than planning a float, a local 19 car dealer be approached to provide an electric car for parade use and in keeping with the 20 “green” theme.
