She thanked the area schools and said this is a reflection on <br />the quality of education in Roseville. <br />Commissioner McKenzie asked the youth commissioners to recommend essay contest questions for <br />2012/13. <br />Chair Grefenberg indicated that the topics for 2013 would be decided at the June LMHRC board <br />meeting, and asked the Youth Commissioners to develop recommendations for the next <br />Commission meeting which was scheduled before the LMHRC meeting. <br />Youth Commissioners asked to see essay contest questions from previous years. The Chair asked <br />staff to send such a list to the Youth Commissioners and Commissioner Thao. <br />Commissioner Doneen moved and Commissioner McKenzie seconded motion congratulating <br />Gabriel Cederberg and his family, school and teacher for winning the 2012 state -wide essay contest. <br />Motion prevailed unanimously. <br />Staff Report <br />Carolyn Curti said the HRC distributed pencils at last year's Rose Parade. The HRC then spent <br />$145 for 500 pencils, and ran out of the pencils rather quickly. Commissioners discussed how much <br />to spend this year out of the approximately $1,300 remaining in the HRC annual budget. <br />Curti also explained the general arrangements for this year's Rosefest parade. <br />Commissioner Brisbois moved and Commissioner Groff seconded motion to spend up to $200 for <br />pencils with HRC motto for the Rose Parade.
