Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,April 24, 2017 <br /> Page 21 <br /> Humanities Center and the YMCA Humanities organization, neither of whom an- <br /> ticipated the strife or comments heard in tonight's comments. Councilmember <br /> Laliberte further reported that "equity" and "inclusion" are considered go-forward <br /> names to keep local and state government accountable; while "human rights" as <br /> acknowledged-in the past is now better understood as enfolded in the words "eq- <br /> uity" and "inclusion." Just to make sure everyone understood the additional input <br /> sought from outside sources, Councilmember Laliberte noted the recognition of <br /> "human rights" in the shortened draft title. <br /> Mayor Roe spoke in support of the motion, stating that in his work on the Task <br /> Force, he was leaning toward "human rights" and "engagement," but stated that <br /> he found the word "inclusion"more intriguing since it encapsulated the communi- <br /> ty aspirations as referenced in the preamble when talking about being inclusive, <br /> welcoming and respectful. While supporting the motion as presented, Mayor Roe <br /> offered an opportunity for amendments from his colleagues <br /> As to the wordiness of the proposed title, Councilmember Etten noted other <br /> commissions (e.g. Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission), <br /> stating he would be open to any suggestions to make the title more succinct, but <br /> stated the clear community directive for"human rights" as part of the title. <br /> When considering the ordinance and work of both the current HRC and CEC, as <br /> well as how the community has changed over the years and things it was striving <br /> to accomplish, Councilmember Willmus noted the things the community has cho- <br /> sen to celebrate, including Roseville area schools. In celebrating its diversity, <br /> Councilmember Willmus noted the main question for him became how the city <br /> could reach out and engage new members of the community by not only under- <br /> standing their perspective, but also by bringing them into the mix and creating a <br /> place for them in their local government (engagement and inclusion). Coun- <br /> cilmember Willmus stated that he saw the three as tied together and important to <br /> acknowledge; while also recognizing his personal struggle throughout the process <br /> with the term "human rights" and this commission's role in hearing human rights <br /> cases or solving human rights grievances. While his perspective may be flawed, <br /> Councilmember Willmus stated that he looked to some of those things in practice; <br /> and suggested the title "Diversity, Engagement and Inclusion Commission." <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that "inclusion" was the same as "engage- <br /> ment:" with Councilmember Willmus agreeing that they were somewhat similar. <br /> Councilmember McGehee opined that the overall goal was to include people; <br /> therefore, "Human Rights and Inclusion Commission" seemed less wordy and <br /> more concise to her. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte stated that she didn't see "inclusion" and "engagement" <br /> to be the same, but considered inclusion as one group doing its part and another <br /> group not encouraged to reciprocate. While Councilmember Willmus' proposed <br />
