Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />June 18, 2014 – Draft Minutes <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />Ms. Collins stated the Police Department has also done open forums to work with groups that are <br />91 <br />from war torn areas of the world and have a fear of police. <br />92 <br />93 <br />Chair Groff stated it would be good for the HRC to attend the outreach programs. <br />94 <br />95 <br />Commissioner Carey asked if the number of times the Police Department deploys Tasers is <br />96 <br />average for a community the size of Roseville. <br />97 <br />98 <br />Commissioner Singleton stated it is in line with the National average. <br />99 <br />100 <br />City-Wide Read Program <br />101 <br />102 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber provided information about the One Book One Community program <br />103 <br />as an engagement opportunity. The HRC could partner with a business or the Library for this <br />104 <br />type of program. She asked if this was something the Commission was interested in pursuing. <br />105 <br />106 <br />Chair Groff stated the book that would be read would make a difference if it would be something <br />107 <br />the HRC would be supporting. The Library had expressed interested in working with the HRC <br />108 <br />in the past. <br />109 <br />110 <br />Commissioner Thai stated it would be worth looking into. <br />111 <br />112 <br />Vice Chair Becker stated this could also be something the Community Engagement Commission <br />113 <br />would be interested in. The HRC could pick the book and the CEC could promote the <br />114 <br />community involvement. <br />115 <br />116 <br />Chair Groff suggested a sub-committee to work on this project and he would work with <br />117 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber on this project. <br />118 <br />119 <br />Civility Training Update <br />120 <br />121 <br />Commissioner Carey stated she had looked into the civility training that had been offered <br />122 <br />through her job and the spokesperson suggested something closer to work with the Commissions <br />123 <br />budget. She talked to a group in Texas that does Civility and Government and they will be in <br />124 <br />Minnesota in August and the cost for this would be $50 per person with a minimum of 40 <br />125 <br />people. She stated she is also contacting the colleges and universities. They could partner with <br />126 <br />other communities. <br />127 <br />128 <br />Chair Groff stated the HRC does not have the budget for this currently but they could apply for <br />129 <br />grants and they would also have to work with other communities. <br />130 <br />131 <br />Ms. Collins stated the Roseville Community Fund has $2500 available for grants and there may <br />132 <br />be other potential grant opportunities. <br />133 <br />134 <br />
