Ron Denison and Ann Berry spoke to the President of one of the local banks about an alleged zncident of discriminatory treatment to a B1ack customer. The Pxesident will remind his people at a staff m�eting of a need far extending courteous treat- ment to all customers and woul.d like to have copies of the new Fhunan Rights Co�run.ission Brochure for distribut�on �n the banko Bessie Battle commented that her �ale family banks at that institution and had. no problems at al1 there. 13. The HRC brochure will be sent out with the water bi11s, put on the police and finance counters in the City Hai1 for easy pickup by citizens, sent io the library, to the banks and to the schools in the fa11. Other distribution wil], be made as necessary. �4. Ann Berry attended the April 29, city coLmcal meet u�g and reported that the only item of interest to the Commission was the inference by a Rosevi].le citizen �hat the only vandalism performed in he� neighborho�d was done by the "colored boys" frflm outside Roseville. The Corrnnission agreed that the pur�pose of having a member attend co�cil meetings was to observe and to report back to the full ComQaission. If an a.ssu�e or question is raised which rec{uzres a response by an HRC member, then the memher should respond as an individual tmless �t is possible to relate an . established HRC policy or position. No viewpoints should be expressed on behalf o� the Co�rnnisszon tu�less the Co�nission has actually considered the matter and x°eached some conc�usion. 15. On the matter of a program for the Roseville HRC, it was decided that Minnesota HRC's in general have a Zaw profile and a low priority status on the overall conmitmaty agendao A specific program is neede�. which would be positive, visible, action oriented, and manageable in scape. HRC's have generally been only a nagging voice in the backgroimd of the co�rnrn.uiity and perhaps Roseville should not become bogged down by txying to keep abreast of what other comrn�mities are doing, bu� should strike out on its own vigorous programa it was decided that suc.h things as a s�ide presentation and liaison with other HRCs should receive low priority wl��l such ti.me as they axe most obviously rela�ed to the goals of the Commissiano Of a11 the programs and ideas that the Gomm�.ssion has considexed. to date, the HtAnan Relations Traini.ng Program r� by Frank N�cRay for District 623 seems ta be the best one for the Corr�nission to become involved with. By working close�y wi�h the School Board as a vehicle �or educating the conuru.uiity, many more people could be expased ta Hunnan Rights concepts and pxinciple�. Working with Frank on such a program should open up other avenues for the Coirnn- ission to do its work in the co�nLmityo It was decided. tha� fihe Gommission should met with Frank to discuss what �he Commission can do to assist him, what t.he goals of a joint program with the School District woul.d be, and to divide the labor involved in putting such a program toge�her. That meeting isset for the regularly scheduled JLme meet�ng on .Ture 12 , at 7: 30 P e M, in the garage Iunchroom.
