Human Rights Commission Minutes October 16, 2013 Page 9 of 9 Other Standing Committee Reports There were no other committee reports. New Business Minnesota Department of Human Rights Symposium on December 5, 2013: Chair Grefenberg explained the Minnesota Department of Human Rights Symposium would be held on December 5, 2013. He encouraged those interested in attending to RSVP with staff and the $85 fee would be covered by the Commission. Staff Report: Carolyn Curti discussed the proposed business cards stating the minimum run for the printer was 500 cards. She suggested the cards be made generic to allow members to write in their names and numbers. Commissioner Singleton indicated that he had discussed with a print company the production of business cards for each commissioner, including their individual contact information if the commissioner so wished. He volunteered to pay for the cards themselves. Commissioner Groff expressed opposition to a generic business card where each commissioner would need to write in his name and contact info, saying it seemed to be contrary to the very purpose of having such cards. Commissioner Singleton requested permission to coordinate this issue with City Manager Trudgeon. Chair Grefenberg asked to be involved in that discussion as well. Future Agenda Items Chair Grefenberg requested staff be prepared to discuss preliminary foundation and grant resources available in 2014 at the November meeting. Adjournment Commissioner Groff moved and Vice Chair Brisbois seconded a motion to adjourn. Motion passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:36 p.m.
