Ring will a send letter with these recommendations to Ms. Butterfield to bring before the City Council for action at its next meeting. VI. Other Discussion Members discussed whether the Commission should look into, or needs to look into, further defining or re-defining its focus and purpose. The Commission will meet to welcome the two new commissioners shortly after their appointments. Members discussed how to most effectively educate the public on the role of the Commission and other commissions in Roseville. Members agreed that word about the current resources/role of the Commission needs to become more widely disseminated. Members discussed accomplishing this, at least in part, by relating articles in the City newspaper, participation in a speakers’ bureau, and “tag-teaming” with another City commission, possibly Human Rights. The Commission will look into meeting with another (or several other) local ethics commission(s) to determine how the other(s) views its(their) role and purpose. Members discussed participating in the City’s annual Open House, and agreed that the Commission should have a presence. The Open House date has not yet been set. The Commission will meet, probably in May, after the new members are appointed to further discuss or take action with respect to the above discussion items. Pease will schedule with staff assistance. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the meeting was adjourned on voice vote. All ayes. Minutes respectfully submitted March 12, 2001 by Thomas E. Ring, Chair
