Commissioner Slade stated she had been disappointed to see that two Councilmembers had abstained from voting during the interview process and it had not been made clear to those interviewing that the HRC would be combined with the CEC. b.Update on Essay Contest Ms. Curti stated the subcommittee had read 120 essays and they are recommending the top 24 for the full Commission to read and grade based on the rubric provided. This process should be completed by April 13 and the scores will be reviewed at the April 19 meeting. There will be a presentation to the winners at the May 8 City Council meeting. Commissioner Carey asked what the difference was in the analysis and evidence of the identification analysis and the analysis and identification of the example. Ms. Curti stated she had used the rubric from last year as an example. If the Commission wants to make changes these should be done at this time. Youth Commissioner Hansel stated when she had used the rubric to read all of the essays she had scored the analysis and evidence of the identification based on how well the writer had identified how stereotypes affect society and the analysis of this and the analysis and identification of the example based on how well they used analysis for the how damaged human rights section and how much they expanded on this. Commissioner Dailey explained she had scored this based on the writer identifying that this was a problem damaging society and the example how well they had expanded on a specific example. Commissioner Carey stated this analysis was similar to the first analysis and she suggested striking the first analysis question in the rubric. Youth Commissioner Hansel suggested if the two points were removed from the first question then these could be added into the spelling and grammar scoring because this should be weighted more. Commissioner Carey stated the Commission had decided last year that they would not score heavily on grammar and spelling because of the age range of the participants. She clarified the first two scores were just checking to see if the information was there and the other two scores were based on how much the ideas were expanded on. c.Update on community dialogues – Imagine Roseville Ms. Curti stated the community discussion-planning group has met several times. The Consultant had asked people to provide input as to what they would like to see done. There had been questions about sanctuary city and immigration laws, what are the rights of an individual and what are the responsibilities of a City. The group is planning a two-part event over two days. They are working with an immigration attorney, a historian to provide historical information on immigration, and a member of the Faith Community for the first day of events.
