REPORT FROM <br />ICENGAGEMENT TASK <br />FORCE CO-GHAIR <br />PREPARED ON <br />JANUARY 9, LO '1 L� <br />��E1� �l �'� ,� <br />L _� } I 1 <br />Regarding Council <br />Actions on <br />Commissions including <br />Civic Engagement <br />Date: January 15, 2014 <br />Item: Program Planning <br />C�mmittPP RPnort <br />HUMAN RIGHTS <br />GOMMISSION <br />MEETING <br />OF <br />JANUARY '1 S, LO '1 L� <br />At its recent meeting the Roseville City Council reviewed Commission responses to its survey <br />Reviewing Roseville's Commissions-2013. The Council also took action on the issue of whether <br />to establish a separate commission on Civic Engagement, an issue which for over a year now has <br />been pending. <br />The survey results from Human Rights Commissioners are attached. I would encourage you to <br />review them. From my perspective your answers were thoughtful and constructive. <br />Somewhat surprisingly the Council took action on creating two new Commissions: a Community <br />Engagement Commission and a Finance Commission. (See bench handouts attached.) The <br />Council approved the creation of a Civic Engagement Task Force on a 4-1 vote (Council Member <br />McGehee in opposition). <br />The Council focused on the recommendations of Lis LaLiberte. Please review the <br />recommendations contained in her handout. <br />I attended this meeting and gave comment as Task Force co-chair on the recommendations made <br />by our Task Force over a year ago. The Task Force had recommended the creation of both of <br />these new commissions. I also alerted our Chair Wayne Groff to the possibily of the Council <br />taking action the day of the meeting itself, when I became aware of this possibility myself. <br />I would encourage you to view this January 6th Council meeting on the city's web site. This item <br />occurred during the last part of Maonday night's council meeting. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Gary Grefenberg, Co-Chair <br />Civic Engagement Task Force <br />Attachments: Results of Council Survey Reviewing Roseville Commissions-2013 <br />Council Member LaLibert Recommendations (Bench Handout) <br />Council Member McGehee Recommendaitons (Bench Handout) <br />Cc: Civic Engagement Task Force Members <br />
