Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 24, 2017 <br /> Page 19 <br /> religion, national origin, gender, marital status, familial status, immigration <br /> status, sexual orientation, age,income, or disability." <br /> In response to the points made by Mr. Kysylyczyn, Councilmember Etten stated <br /> his understanding of some of those points; but clarified that this was not intended <br /> nor was it presented as a mission statement, agreeing with the speaker that the city <br /> was currently using practice. However, Councilmember Etten opined that this <br /> specifically said it outright and had been the result of recent community conversa- <br /> tions with residents of minority backgrounds stating that this was an important <br /> and meaningful statement for them and their families to hear and have the city <br /> confirm. Councilmember Etten stated that he was aware that it was the intention <br /> of the Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission (HRIEC) as part of <br /> the comprehensive plan update process to add more formal language and a pro- <br /> cess for the city to follow going forward. Councilmember Etten further clarified <br /> that he did not mean in any way that this be adopted as a sanctuary city policy in <br /> any sense at this time. <br /> Councilmember Willmus spoke in support of the motion, noting that the draft <br /> language was primarily drawn from and related to Fair Housing Act language and <br /> the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Federal and Minnesota Fair Housing Policies. <br /> Councilmember Willmus agreed that this was not intended as a new mission <br /> statement for the City of Roseville, but simply intended to call attention to estab- <br /> lished practices, and suggested nothing additional be read into it. <br /> From his role as Chair and arbiter for meeting protocol, speaking to Mr. Ky- <br /> sylyczyn's concerns related to process, Mayor Roe clarified that there were City <br /> Council Rules of Procedure in place on how and when agenda items could be <br /> added to an agenda, with this addition meeting those rules as approved by a ma- <br /> jority of the City Council present this evening. <br /> Mayor Roe opined that he wasn't sure how the city could not practice what this <br /> statement said and that it was not terribly controversial to the extent of putting in <br /> place a statement to avoid breaking the law. <br /> From his perspective of this statement in relation to the city's mission statement <br /> and its bullet points available on the city's website, Mayor Roe stated that he con- <br /> sidered this as a further expansion of one of those bullet points related to Rose- <br /> ville being a welcoming, inclusive and respectful community and a direct result of <br /> the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning process developed in 2005 — <br /> 2006 that had been a very lengthy public process up to that point. Mayor Roe <br /> opined that this proposed statement simply expanded upon that language in to- <br /> day's environment. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that specific to tonight's action, at a recent City Council meet- <br /> ing as well as the last Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission <br /> (HRIEC) suggestions had been made that a brief bullet point was not enough, and <br />
