Human Rights Commission Minutes February 18, 2015 Page 5 of 9 Chair Groff stated this Commission has been using Special Committees and Advisory Groups to conduct business. Commissioner Singleton stated the Commission had expressed they would like to do more Commissioner initiated items and he would be agreeable to repealing Article 6, Item A.c. Program Planning Committee but he would recommend keeping Article 6, Item A.a. Operations Committee, Item A.b. Outreach and Diversity Committee, and Item A.d. Youth Engagement Committee. If the Commissioner initiated programs required a committee or assistance then this would fall under Article 6, Item B. Special Committees and Advisory Groups. Chair Groff stated the Operations Committee is called by the Chair to meet when needed. Commissioner Singleton explained the Outreach and Diversity Committee had to do with networking and meeting with other Commissions and Roseville Groups. Chair Groff stated all Commissioners should be reaching out to people. The Commission was not large enough to break into a smaller Committee to do all the networking, all Commissioners should be on the Outreach Committee. Commissioner Becker stated as far as he could remember the Outreach Committee had only met once. Commissioner Slade asked if this would fall under the Article 4. Membership and Responsibilities. Commissioner Singleton stated Article 6, Item A.b. Outreach and Diversity could be included under Article 4. Membership and Responsibilities. Chair Groff stated Youth Commissioner Cederberg would like to be more involved with this Committee. Youth Commissioner Dao stated Mr. Cederberg is at the High School and it is easier for him to work with that group of people. She would be able to get people from the University if this was something the Commission would be interested in. She stated she is still active with KOM as well. Chair Groff stated the Commission would begin looking for a third Youth Commissioner. Commissioner Becker stated removing the Program Planning Committee and moving the duties of the Outreach and Diversity Committee to Membership and Responsibilities and removing the Outreach and Diversity Committee would impact how the Operations Committee is structured. The Chair of the Community Engagement Commission appoints people to their Operations Committee.
