Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 23,2017 Page 7 still open to the idea. As to the High School Summer Book Read and Coun- cilmember Etten's suggestion for the RAHS and Teens for Human Rights Club Partnership, Councilmember Willmus stated his interest in continuing to explore them, especially providing an explanation and more background on why the Club Partnership and other items had been moved to the"parking lot." Specific to the "Advise/Engage" objective, Councilmember Willmus stated cate- gorically that he didn't want the HRIEC to assume any oversight for other activi- ties and/or advisory commissions serving the city. Councilmember Willmus of- fered his continued support of HRIEC efforts with Rosefest and Party in the Park. While having talked about the Town Hall/Open House concept in the past with the CEC, Councilmember Willmus suggested another format not necessarily re- lated to a City Council meeting, but to host a city-wide open house to reach out to those not typically aware of those more formal events that would make them feel more part of the process and provide a welcoming view of the city campus, what it was about, and lend a broader, district-wide understanding of their local gov- ernment.

Regarding the "advise" objective, Councilmember Laliberte also considered it ambitious but also understood that the work plan at this point was broad and that project plans and proposals would be forthcoming. Overall, Councilmember Laliberte stated that she wasn't sure how intensely to interpret the draft plan or provide feedback accordingly at this meeting. Councilmember Laliberte agreed with a previous proposal by Councilmember McGehee for a second meeting with the HRIEC to address projected silo items and determine their future cohesive- ness; especially since Councilmember McGehee had agreed with her that so many things that come before the City Council for action prior to the HRIEC being able to provide input. However, Councilmember Laliberte opined that the engagement piece seemed to be missing from the "advise/engage" objective, whether intentional or not. Coun- cilmember Laliberte also expressed her agreement with Mayor Roe that she saw
