Human Rights Commission Minutes October 19, 2016 Page 4 of 6 Commissioner Slade moved and Commissioner Dailey seconded a motion to provide ongoing involvement with the RAHS One World multi-cultural event and to promote other cultural events sponsored through RAHS. Motion passed unanimously. f.Potential Collaboration with Ramsey County Library – Race: The Power of an Illusion Ms. Curti stated the Library has programming in January and February that focus on race and they would like the Commission to partner with them and assist with promoting the events. They are looking at doing a showing of the three-part series “Race: The Power of an Illusion” in March or April. There is a $50 licensing for this series and this may be a potential cost that the Commission may be asked to cover. She does not have specific information on the programming the Library has planned for early 2017 but she will provide this information to the Commission at the November meeting for further discussion. Chair Groff suggested asking Do Good Roseville to let attendees of their showing of this film series know that it would be shown again in the spring of 2017. Ms. Curti stated she would let the Library know that the Commission would like to move forward with working with them for the showing of “Race: The Power of an Illusion.” The Library has suggested the Roseville HRC also partner with the Shoreview HRC for this film series. Commissioner Eichenlaub made a motion to partner with the Library and to direct staff to contact the Shoreview HRC and request they partner with the Roseville HRC for the showing of the film series “Race: The Power of an Illusion.” Commissioner Carey stated she thought there was an honorarium that would need to be paid along with the $50 licensing fee. She asked if this was something the Commission would have to pay. Chair Groff stated an honorarium is usually paid by the sponsors and/or co-sponsors of an event. The Commission will need to discuss their monetary support at a future meeting. Commissioner Peterson seconded the motion on the table. Motion passed unanimously. Ms. Curti asked if the Commission would want to co-sponsor or promote the Do Good Roseville showing of the film series that would be starting in November. Commissioner Slade suggested promoting the event at this time with the potential to co-sponsor at a future time. Commissioner Carey stated the Commission should make sure that the events they are supporting and promoting are moving in the direction the City is moving in. If the Commission is going to co-sponsor events, then the Commission would need to be more involved with the planning to ensure the event is in line with the City’s goals.
