i Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 12,2018 Page 6 City Manager Trudgeon responded no, not directly. Councilmember Etten stated that may be a good place to start. Councilmember Willmus opined that forming a relevant connection to the com- munity is important. There are some Proclamations he is unsure about, and there may be more that are more meaningful and relevant to the community. Mayor Roe concurred with the Council's comments. He also noted there might be something related to senior mental health, or mental health more broadly. He does not expect the Commission to look at things like the Optimists or Kiwanis Peanut Day Proclamations, as those are service groups doing good things in the community. He would set those apart from the Proclamations from the causes or various communities within the community. He saw the HRIEC had discussion of how to get an article in the Roseville Review. Instead, perhaps the City can spend a couple hundred bucks to buy an ad, to get it out to the community. Councilmember McGehee suggested someone can also write a letter to the editor or an op-ed. She would be interested in reviewing the Proclamations that are read year after year that are related to these topics. She suggested something like a study guide or an activity that could go on the website. She noted that they might be able to get some help from the folks at the Historical Society. Councilmember Willmus stated the City website is a good way to increase aware- ness. He would like to have some more conversation about what might be includ- ed in the City newsletter. Some Proclamations could take up quite a bit of space. He would not support taking out a paid advertisement. But use of the website, specifically a page that could be linked to the HRIEC's page, would be helpful Ms. Holub summarized the Commission should review current Proclamations and get back to the Council with recommendations. Councilmember McGehee concurred, suggesting the HRIEC come back to the Council with programming ideas and specific recommendations. Ms. Holub asked whether the HRIEC can choose a proposed featured Proclama- tion and bring it to the Council. The Council concurred. Ms. Holub then asked for Council feedback on the LBGT proclamation. Councilmember Willmus noted this body has been proactive related to the LBGT community in recent years. It would be helpful to call attention to what the City has done over time.
