Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />August 20, 2014 – Draft Minutes <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />Public Comment <br />45 <br />46 <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Commission on an item not on the agenda, <br />47 <br />the Chair moved to the next agenda item. <br />48 <br />49 <br />Old Business <br />50 <br />51 <br />a.Community-Wide Read <br />52 <br />53 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated she had spokespoken to Jeff Eide from the Roseville Public <br />54 <br />Library. He is slightly interested and he likes to do partnerships but recognizes this would be a <br />55 <br />big job. He stated he would be open to discussing this further and if the Commission were <br />56 <br />interested, she would suggest forming a committee and meting with Mr. Eide. <br />57 <br />58 <br />Chair Groff asked if this would be something done by the HRC versus the Library. <br />59 <br />60 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated if the HRC had a strong proposal of what they wanted, it would <br />61 <br />be easier for him to commit to it. She recommended looking for a specific read to potentially <br />62 <br />promote. <br />63 <br />64 <br />Youth Commissioner Dao suggested articles versus books because they are shorter and people <br />65 <br />can commit to this versus a book. <br />66 <br />67 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated she had talked with Judy Woodward, the History Programming <br />68 <br />Director at the Roseville Public Library, and she would be open to providing space for <br />69 <br />community discussions. <br />70 <br />71 <br />Chair Groff asked if she would work with Youth Commissioner Dao to put together more <br />72 <br />information and find an article to review and discuss at the next meeting. <br />73 <br />74 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated Ms. Woodward would be doing programming starting in <br />75 <br />November on Emerging Communities in Minnesota and reminded her that the HRC would be <br />76 <br />available if there was a way the Commission could support her. <br />77 <br />78 <br />b.HRC Recognition of Individuals <br />79 <br />80 <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated at the last meeting, the Commission had discussed potentially <br />81 <br />recognizing individuals. She researched what other communities and Human Rights <br />82 <br />Commissions have done. Several host either a breakfast or dinner for community members and <br />83 <br />they have nomination forms or different categories such as Youth Leadership or Public Servant. <br />84 <br />Most of them were done annually. She asked if this would be something the HRC would be <br />85 <br />interested in pursuing. <br />86 <br />87 <br />Commissioner Carey clarified that someone from the community would make the nominations. <br />88 <br />89 <br /> <br />
