Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 9, 2017 Page 17 additional aspects to follow it made sense to keep the HRIEC up-to-date on the process going forward and as proposals come forward to change policies and pro- cedures that it then be appropriate to have those items go through the HRIEC for additional community engagement as indicated. Specific to the notion of staff being trained first, Mayor Roe noted that a lot of other work was already going on in the community ahead of this staff training fo- cus, suggesting that it was important that staff come up to speed in their training and knowledge-base capacity as well. Mayor Roe opined that this is a good effort for the city as an entity to pursue racial equity and interaction in the community too, and would provide other areas to consider for staff, the City Council and community-at-large, all efforts that he supported. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Etten and Roe. Nays: None. Mayor Roe encouraged Assistant City Manager Olson to bring this to the atten- tion of the HRIEC at their next meeting. Mayor Roe further referenced previous discussions he'd had with senior city staff related to community engagement ef- forts that had been a result of his and Councilmember Laliberte's attendance at a community engagement conference several years ago. Mayor Roe opined that it made sense to get staff up-to-speed to and then provide training to HRIE advisory commissioners to address the gap of knowledge between the industry and the city's own volunteer commissioners, whether initiated by staff as applicable or up to the City Council to decide whether a specific recommendation needed to go through commissioners. 8.
