Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes June 21, 2017 Draft Minutes Page9 of10 to the City so that they have record of it. Commissioners should not be keeping this information for themselves and if they follow upwith that person via email, they should copy her so that it is documented. If it is a conversation that is not happening in their role as Commissioner, they do not need to copy her. Commissioner Carey suggested this topic be discussed in the annual ethics meeting. Commissioner Laliberte stated it has been an issue in the past. When the Parks and Recreation Department has people sign up at an event, the staff takes the names back to the office, not the Commissioners. Commissioner Djevi requested a list of ways they can get their engagement work done without getting into any legal trouble. Councilmember Laliberte stated one way is take information at a City sanctioned event and have staff take it at the end of the event. Ms. Olson commented at a recent Council meeting they discussed changes to the Commission code and they now require annual background checks for Commissioners. She handed out forms and requested they return them by the next meeting. The background check would show arrests and convictions and if these are present, the City Manager would decide if a person could serve on a Commission. It would not be part of a public meeting. Councilmember Laliberte pointed out the background checks need to happen because they have Youth Commissioners. Future Agenda Items a.Civility Training in partnership with Imagine Roseville Commissioner Carey advised shereceived information from thegroupthat previously did Civility Training and their prices are increasing next year. b.Appoint Chair/Vice Chair Councilmember Laliberte advised Chair and Vice Chair elections are made at the end of a term year. It was not discussed how it would apply to this Commission as they do not have these roles presently filled. It will take time for them to work through their plans and priorities before they decide on these roles. If they elect someone before the end of the year, it would be a short term, and then another election would take place at the end of the year. c.Appoint member to Ethics Committee CommissionerEichenlaub stated they should have a discussion on Philando Castile verdict as it is an important issue to the community.
