Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />August 15, 2017 Draft Minutes <br />Page2 of2 <br />these assumptions were key to making sure the outcome was successful. Ms. Olson then moved <br />into the Brainstorming section where she outlined the process for how each commissioner would <br />be able to share their ideas for topics they would like to see worked on in the coming year. <br />Once commissioners were finished brainstorming, they gathered in pairs to discuss each idea and <br />to see if there were overlapping ideas. Throughout the process, ideas were gathered from each <br />commissioner, discussed and clarified as they were brought forward. <br />As the group moved onto the Clustering phase, ideas were clustered around common themes and <br />eventually clusters were named with an overarching theme or idea. Each of the named clusters <br />will then serve as a topic or issue area for the Action Planning workshop. Ms. Olson indicated <br />that a document will be provided at the next meeting that outlines all of the topics the <br />commissioners identified tonight. The broadtopics the commission identified included: <br />Evaluate and advise on current engagement and outreach practices <br />Listening to and gathering feedback from ALL stakeholders in the community <br />Educate and Engage youth <br />Educate community on pertinent topics/issues <br />Proactive and reactive advisement on city policies <br />Partnering with key stakeholders <br />Engage community and foster unity and relationships <br />Foster peace and safety <br />Evaluate and advise on innovative ideas and resources <br />Develop a sense of community identity <br />Increase access to and representation in city government <br />Proactive and reactive advisement on Human Rights issues <br />Maintain and improve collaboration with public safety <br />Ms. Olson stated that she will have a written document for the commission which outlines their <br />work this evening and will present it at their meeting on August 16, 2017. The topics identified <br />tonight will be the starting point for the Action Planning Workshop scheduled for August 24, <br />2017. Ms. Olson indicated that she will be asking the Commission to do some pre-work in <br />coming up with ideas in order to save time during the Brainstorming section of the workshop. <br />Adjournment <br />With no further business before the commission, the meeting adjourned at 8:57 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Rebecca Olson <br />Assistant City Manager <br /> <br />
