Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, October 10, 2016 <br />Page 4 <br />Recess <br />Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 6:15 p.m., and reconvened at approximately <br />6:17 p.m. <br />11. Presentations <br />a. Human Rights Commission (HRC) Meeting with the City Council <br />Mayor Roe welcomed HRC Commissioners. Present were Chair Wayne Groff, <br />Molli Slade, Lauren Peterson, Nicole Dailey and John Eichenlaub; and Youth <br />Commissioner Elizabeth Hansel. <br />Chair Groff thanked the City Council for appointing additional commissioners to <br />fill vacancies and provide the HRC with a full complement of inembers, noting <br />the difference it had made in their work load and activities. Chair Groff presented <br />a brief video prepared by the HRC highlighting some of their activities in 2016 to- <br />date. <br />Each commissioner took the lead in reviewing some of the activities and accom- <br />plishments during the year; and Chair Groff concluded by reviewing proposed <br />work plan items for the remainder of 2016 and anticipated in 2017. Chair Groff <br />sought feedback from the City Council on activities, accomplishments of those <br />items shown on the work plan yet to be addressed. <br />Discussion included the upcoming annual essay contest and this year's independ- <br />ent topic involving prejudice, stereotyping and human interaction; and continued <br />coordination by the HRC with middle school teachers and leaders, as well as pa- <br />rochial schools, to encourage involvement of students in the contest. <br />Councilmember Etten thanked the HRC for their work, especially their efforts in <br />helping coordinate the recent Imagine Roseville community dialogue on policing <br />and race and how Roseville residents could build a stronger community. Coun- <br />cilmember Etten asked that the HRC keep that effort at the forefront of their activ- <br />ities. <br />Mayor Roe concurred, noting the event provided a cross-section of community, <br />agency and organization support and involvement. <br />Councilmember McGehee also concurred. However, Councilmember McGehee <br />suggested a different name for the effort rather than "Imagine Roseville" to avoid <br />any confusion with the Imagine Roseville 2025 effort of a few years ago and its <br />tie to the comprehensive plan update at that time. Councilmember McGehee <br />opined that this effort was timely and unique and deserved its own moniker. <br />Regarding meeting space if and when the library is not available for various <br />HRGsponsored events, at the request of Councilmember McGehee, City Manag- <br />
