Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />August 20, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br />Public Comment <br /> <br /> <br />There being no one present wishing to speak to the Commission on an item not on the agenda, <br />the Chair moved to the next agenda item. <br /> <br />Old Business <br /> <br /> <br />a.Community-Wide Read <br /> <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated she had spoken to Jeff Eide from the Roseville Public Library. <br />He is slightly interested and he likes to do partnerships but recognizes this would be a big job. <br />He stated he would be open to discussing this further and if the Commission were interested, she <br />would suggest forming a committee and meeting with Mr. Eide. <br /> <br />Chair Groff asked if this would be something done by the HRC versus the Library. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated if the HRC had a strong proposal of what they wanted, it would <br />be easier for him to commit to it. She recommended looking for a specific read to potentially <br />promote. <br /> <br />Youth Commissioner Dao suggested articles versus books because they are shorter and people <br />can commit to this versus a book. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated she had talked with Judy Woodward, the History Programming <br />Director at the Roseville Public Library, and she would be open to providing space for <br />community discussions. <br /> <br />Chair Groff asked if she would work with Youth Commissioner Dao to put together more <br />information and find an article to review and discuss at the next meeting. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated Ms. Woodward would be doing programming starting in <br />November on Emerging Communities in Minnesota and reminded her that the HRC would be <br />available if there was a way the Commission could support her. <br /> <br /> <br />b.HRC Recognition of Individuals <br /> <br />Commissioner Bachhuber stated at the last meeting, the Commission had discussed potentially <br />recognizing individuals. She researched what other communities and Human Rights <br />Commissions have done. Several host either a breakfast or dinner for community members and <br />they have nomination forms or different categories such as Youth Leadership or Public Servant. <br />Most of them were done annually. She asked if this would be something the HRC would be <br />interested in pursuing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Carey clarified that someone from the community would make the nominations. <br /> <br /> <br />
