She suggested a visual list as they go through the process. <br />Commissioner Dailey suggested they listen to each other tonight, and come back at the next <br />meeting with ideas and questions for each other. Councilmember Laliberte stated there will also <br />be new ideas that come up and need to be explored. <br />Commissioner Groff and other former Human Rights Commission (HRC) members provided an <br />update on the HRC work plan and the following information: <br />Essay ContestThere is money and prizes involved, and this should be continued. <br />Naturalization Ceremony This is good for Roseville to do, ithelps people feel included <br />in the community, and does not take up a lot of time <br />Collaboration with other groups in the community, such as KOM. This partnership can be <br />reevaluated since the Karen population is going down. However, this type of engagement <br />was important, and they could use this formula to work with other groups in this way. It <br />was helpful to work with advocates of human rights who wrote grants for them. It is not <br />seen as a core event, but could be looked at again in the future. Councilmember Laliberte <br />commented if there is an issue in the community, such as housing, the City may want to <br />see this process used for awareness and engagement. <br />Film Festival They co-sponsored this event with Shoreview HRC and Roseville <br />Library, and would like to continue it. It happens a couple of times each year and it is <br />goodto reach out to the community on different subjects. It did not require a lot of time, <br />and the response from the community was very positive. There needs to be a lot of lead <br />time because the Roseville Library gets booked up. There is a leasing fee for the movies, <br />sometimes an honorarium, and they provide snacks. Ms. Olson advised Shoreview has a <br />new library and may be looking at co-sponsoring events with Roseville. There is money <br />in the budget for the Commissions use. Councilmember Laliberte advised the City <br />Manager has some discretion regarding funds without it having to go to the Council. <br />However, it was discussed at the last meeting that everything would go before the <br />Council, and she suggested they define a process to make sure all the details are covered. <br />Councilmember Manke suggested they look at a wide range of topics to draw a broad <br />audience as well as partner with other cities. Councilmember Carey stated it always <br />seems to draw the same crowd of people that are involved in the community. <br />Rose Parade This should be continued. <br />Imagine Roseville It is important to keep the community conversations going. There are <br />people that would like to discuss the verdict of the Philandro Castile trial at the next <br />meeting. Mayor Roe had introduced the idea of the HRIE Commission becoming the <br />planning committee for Imagine Roseville conversations. They would need to determine <br />if this is best, and who they would want to continue as part of the planning committee. <br />However, it was recommended to at least keep representatives from the HRIE <br />Commission on the planning commission for this item. <br />Human Rights Award Further discussion is needed regarding this item. The <br />subcommittee discussed having it be a broader award and suggested it be done next <br />spring or summer. It is usually presented in the fall, but takes about five months to <br />advertise and get applicants. <br /> <br />
