Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,August 12,2013 <br /> Page 16 <br /> Member Becker prepared a brief outreach presentation of the HRC's recent activi- <br /> ties and accomplishments since last meeting jointly with the City Council; and <br /> their 2013-2014 Work Plan and issues they wished to discuss with the City Coun- <br /> cil at tonight's meeting. <br /> Activities <br /> Items included the "Culture Fest" spearheaded by Youth Commissioner Joan Dao <br /> who provided a synopsis of the event in making the community more aware of di- <br /> versity with its various ethnic populations; and taking advantage of Rosefest to <br /> highlight those cultures present in Roseville. <br /> Member Becker reviewed collaborative events between the Roseville HRC and <br /> the Cities of Maplewood and Shoreview HRC's. <br /> Another highlight of the year was the New American Forums co-sponsored and <br /> co-hosted by the HRC and the Roseville Police Department. <br /> From his perspective, Chair Grefenberg stated that the Karen Forums were for <br /> him the most fulfilling programs in which he had ever participated; opining that <br /> those doing the most learning were not the Karen community participants, but <br /> him as the HRC Chair, and representatives of the City's Police and Fire Depart- <br /> ments.

Chair Grefenberg recognized <br /> that the HRC's visibility had been improving throughout the community with var- <br /> ious outreach efforts, as duly noted in the number of applicants for the last two <br /> openings on the HRC. Chair Grefenberg noted opportunities provided through <br /> the efforts of Roseville resident Megan Dushin for grant funds to create a safe and <br />
