Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes March 21, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 9 of 17 358 The Commission agreed to include the calendar, next steps and original action plan with the staff 359 report that will go out to the Council. 360 361 c. Imagine Roseville Debrief 362 363 Chair Holub reported the most recent Imagine Roseville event was held last week. They need 364 clarity from the Council if they want the Commission to evaluate Imagine Roseville and what 365 they are specifically looking for. 366 367 Commissioner Groff commented from conversations he has had, he understands that the Council 368 will be looking for the Commission to review the Imagine Roseville process. He also noted 369 there were some members of the public that did not think the data presented at the most recent 370 event was specific or transparent. 371 372 Ms. Olson reminded Commissioners a doctoral program at Hamline University is analyzing the 373 data as well. 374 375 Commissioner Djevi stated there were a lot of questions that went unanswered because the police 376 department did not have the data back yet. They also indicated there was not going to be any 377 next steps in discussing it with the public, which does not make sense. 378 379 Commissioner Groff stated he thought the police department was saying they did not have a plan 380 to speak to the data at this point. However, if the Commission reviewed it and strongly 381 suggested something be done in the future, hopefully the police department would support that. 382 383 Ms. Olson commented the data is important but there is an understanding that it is hard to focus 384 on a solution when they do not have all the details on what needs to be fixed. They will consider 385 what steps they can take so the community feels it is being addressed. 386 387 Community Djevi stated if they cannot identify the problem, it cannot be fixed. Based on the 388 data they have, they have not defined a problem. It is wonderful the Police Department is doing 389 this, but so many questions went unanswered. 390 391 Ms. Olson noted the data will still be collected and this will show trends that may be taking 392 place. 393 394 Chair Holub commented they will wait until after discussing this with Council before they talk 395 more in depth about these issues. They are on the Council's agenda on Monday to discuss the 396 Commission's Action Plan, the parade, and Imagine Roseville. 397 398 Ms. Olson noted they will not be at the beginning of the agenda and the times listed are 399 guidelines. She will send out the City Council meeting agenda and staff report to the 400 Commission tomorrow. The Council will also be discussing whether they want to have a 401 discussion regarding raising the tobacco purchase age to 21. 402
