Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 23,2017 Page 12 those items could be finalized quickly and brought before the City Council for approval and subsequently removed from the action plan. Specific to the "advise" objective, Commissioner Manke suggested that the intent was to narrow some of the broader things down, with the help of the City Council's feedback, with those things taking more time to accomplish. Essentially, Commissioner Manke opined that this was a 1.5 year work plan, understanding that items brought forward would need input from staff, and identification of budget impacts and who would take on a role or responsibility. City Council Subcommittee to the HRIEC Having participated with the HRIEC over the last few months, Mayor Roe noted, as an example, the HRIEC's Racial Profiling Subcommittee. Referencing the Uniform Commission Code and necessary approval by the City Council for any advisory commission subcommittees or task forces, Mayor Roe asked for a dis- cussion on how to proceed generally going forward. Mayor Roe suggested clari- fying if and how an advisory commission could set up a few commissioners to work on a task to carry out the work of the broader commission without it needing City Council approval. Councilmember Willmus asked for direct feedback from the HRIEC as to whether or not the City Council subcommittee put in place when it was created should re- main in place or be removed at this point. Commissioner Manke spoke in support of retaining the subcommittee, opining that it was not needed on a constant basis, but by having two City Councilmem- bers to bounce off ideas to ensure the HRIEC remained on track, was valuable, or to run a draft through of a recommendation for the full City Council, to serve in as advisors to the HRIEC. Commissioner Djevi disagreed, opining that the HRIEC was now fully- functioning, and therefore, he didn't see the role of the subcommittee going for- ward. Commissioner Djevi opined that if there were any issues, the HRIEC should work with their Chair or Vice Chair to come before the City Council if necessary. Commissioner Dailey stated that she felt comfortable reaching out to either Mayor Roe or Councilmember Laliberte without them having to serve as an offi- cial subcommittee, opining that she considered them the HRIEC's allies. Commissioner Groff agreed with the comments of Commissioner Dailey, opining that with the HRIEC now fully functioning, commissioners should be able to reach out to any or all council members. Commissioner Carey opined that if the HRIEC needed City Council input, there may be one better fit to run a draft through, keeping it open for contact with any council member.
