Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, November 30, 2015 <br />Page 26 <br />mission and a good addition to Roseville, and a necessity for the community the <br />size of Roseville. <br />Councilmember Willmus noted one thing touched upon during previous discus- <br />sion was the charge within the function and duties of the HRC, including their <br />programming aspect. Councilmember Willmus advised that he had spoken with <br />the current Chair of the HRC, noting their real focus over the last few years had <br />become presentations or gatherings versus the programming and advisory role, <br />which is currently the role the HRC is charged with by the City Council. Coun- <br />cilmember Willmus questioned if the same understanding was in place with what <br />is actually occurring and what was actually on the ledger; seeking to call attention <br />to that disconnect in their charge and expectations of the City Council on their ad- <br />visory role. <br />From a broader perspective, Councilmember Willmus expressed his interest in <br />looking at all advisory commissions and staffing those commissions including <br />questions such as: Do we have too many?; Are existing commissions being <br />properly utilized?; Are tweaks needed to improve efficiencies of existing commis- <br />sions?; Is it necessary for all commissions to meet monthly or would the city be <br />better served by a quarterly or semi-annual meeting schedule for some commis- <br />sions (e.g. Ethics and HRC)?. <br />Specific to the HRC, Mayor Roe opined they had a distinct role, and suggested <br />perhaps the City Council needed to do more to clarify that distinction and define <br />the focus of the HRC and CEC in their respective roles. Mayor Roe stated he <br />continued to support the City Council's expectations as outlined in the CEC's en- <br />abling ordinance. Regarding the HRC enabling ordinance, Mayor Roe suggested <br />an immediate review before the next round of appointments, to reconsider its <br />scope, duties and functions. Mayor Roe opined that he found some listed in the <br />ordinance to be unclear or some overlapping with those of the CEC (e.g. assisting <br />the State Human Rights Commission in implementing the Human Rights Act) <br />questioning whether that was even a viable expectation of the City Council. As <br />an initial starting point, Mayor Roe suggested charging the HRC to provide feed- <br />back to the City Council on their suggestions to improve language of that ordi- <br />nance when they return to full membership. As part of that, Mayor Roe stated he <br />would be open to considering meeting frequency or simply establishing a base <br />minimum number of ineetings through ordinance language or other City Council <br />action. Mayor Roe stated that he was more concerned in dictating a specific <br />number of ineetings as a City Council, especially in defining roles and responsi- <br />bilities; and suggested that language may be added to other advisory commissions <br />as well related to a minimum standard number of ineetings, allowing them to meet <br />more as they felt appropriate. <br />Councilmember McGehee stated she liked the idea of minimum meetings and <br />specific policies to determine that frequency. Councilmember McGehee used the <br />
