Human Rights Commission Minutes <br />June 15, 2016 – Draft Minutes <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />Chair Groff stated they do not have a limited number of people and he will meet with the Karin <br />to find out how many people they would have walking with the HRC in the parade. <br /> <br /> <br />b.Essay Contest Question <br /> <br />Chair Groff stated they had 3-4 questions last year that would be good to present. The biggest <br />feedback they had received from the principle had been the timing of the contest had been the <br />reason there had been such a large participation rate. He recommended the Commission follow <br />the same time line as 2015 to allow students and teachers time to discuss the topics and work on <br />their essay. <br /> <br />Ms. Curti stated she would forward the questions from 2015 to the Commission for discussion at <br />the next meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />c.Vote for Women Film Festival – August 18 <br /> <br />Ms. Curti stated the Ramsey County Library and the Shoreview Human Rights Commission <br />would be hosting Vote for Women: A film Festival on August 18 at the Roseville Library. There <br />would be two short films about ratifying the Nineteenth Amendment and Ramsey County <br />Commissioner Mary Jo McGuire would be the speaker. The Shoreview HRC is working on a <br />poster to promote the event and the Commission would also promote the event. <br /> <br /> <br />d.Discussion of Possible Fall Activities <br /> <br />Chair Groff stated the Commission had considered partnering with the Centers for Victims of <br />Torture or a presentation on immigrants’ trauma and mental health. Other options included <br />working with National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) on a mental illness forum but he <br />would like to wait to discuss this until Commissioner Slade was available. Commissioner Dailey <br />had proposed doing a program for cultural appropriation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dailey stated the Commission had discussed having her write something for the <br />review. She stated they could ask the City Council to make a statement that they do not support <br />cultural appropriation at Halloween. <br /> <br />Chair Groff suggested Commissioner Dailey draft a Resolution for the Commission to review <br />and forward to the City Council for their review and possible adoption. <br /> <br /> <br />e.Human Rights Commission Awards <br /> <br />Commissioner Dailey suggested changing the deadline for the HRC award to the fall so that it <br />does not coincide with the Essay Contest. <br /> <br />Chair Groff stated they could change the deadline for submissions but the Commission would <br />still need to get the word out and solicit submissions. <br /> <br /> <br />
