Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />July 17, 2013 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />Commissioner Groff stated this would allow for the work to be spread out more while also <br />creating a cushion when members were absent. He did not object to the addition-S of two HRC <br />commissioners. <br />Commissioner Singleton also supported the addition of two new members. <br />Commissioner Becker commented this would allow for the subcommittee work to be more <br />evenly spread about between the HRC members, and that the quorum prohibition for standing <br />committees would be less restrictive. Commissioner Becker also noted that being constantly in a <br />state of recruiting and selecting new commissioners could be a potential unintended consequence <br />of additional commissioners. <br />Ms. Curti reported the HRC had been 10 members several years ago and the group was reduced <br />to seven by the Council. <br />(Vice Chair Brisbois arrived at 6:50 p.m.) <br />Chair Grefenberg commented he would move forward with this information and report back to <br />the HRC at a future meeting. <br />Request for HRC Support on an August 20 Forum on Immigration Reform <br />Commissioner Grefenberg asked if the Commission was interested in supporting the August 20 <br />forum on Immigration Reform. He explained Commission Thao and himself recommended the <br />group support the program. <br />Chair Grefenberg moved and Vice Chair Brisbois seconded a motion to recommend the <br />Roseville HRC promote the August 20 Forum on Immigration Reform. Motion passed <br />unanimously. <br />Other Committee Reports <br />Request for HRC Assistance on August 19 Program Sponsored by Falcon Heights Human <br />Rights Commission: <br />Chair Grefenberg stated Falcon Heights was seeking assistance from the Roseville HRC in <br />promoting a program scheduled for August 19. He explained last year the Commission <br />supported a similar program. <br />Commissioner Groff indicated last year the Falcon Heights talked to him about participating in a <br />forum. He recommended the HRC participate. <br />Commissioner Singleton questioned what level of participation Falcon Heights was seeking at <br />this time. <br />
