Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes March 21, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 3 of 17 91 Ms. Anfang suggested they try to limit the groups to 20 people and to have a purpose. The 92 application is open to anyone and there is no cost if it is a Roseville organization. She 93 questioned if too many groups combined with the HRIEC it could take away from what the 94 Commission is trying to do within the community. They have only done traditional marketing, 95 which is a blanket invitation to everyone, and they do not target any specific groups to 96 participate. The earlier the applications are received, the closer to the front of the parade they are 97 placed. She also noted there is value in entertainment, such as a dance group or cultural group. 98 99 Commissioner Djevi commented he knows of an Asian group and a Somali group that can play 100 music. He does not want to limit it to just two groups and they should consider other groups that 101 can be part of it. 102 103 Chair Holub inquired if there is contact information for underrepresented groups in the City. 104 105 Ms. Olson responded the City does not maintain these types of lists. 106 107 Commissioner Groff noted in the past there was an Asian-American dance group in the parade. 108 109 Ms. Anfang stated the Asian-American dance group is in the parade again. They are open to 110 music of any sort, but it becomes a challenge to space the groups appropriately. She provided 111 the Commission with parade applications and noted they are also available online. 112 113 Chair Holub inquired how they define a Roseville community group. 114 115 Ms. Anfang responded they have defined them as neighborhood groups using the park buildings 116 and 501(c)(3) organizations in Roseville. A neighborhood group may be a group living in a 117 centralized location and there needs to be a connection to Roseville, such as meeting on a regular 118 basis. They may ask the Commission if a certain group is a Roseville-based group. 119 120 Commissioner Djevi stated the two groups he spoke of are Roseville residents. 121 122 Chair Holub commented there may be groups where they are not all from Roseville, but a certain 123 number of them are. 124 125 Ms. Anfang stated there are several scout troops in the parade and not all the participants are 126 from Roseville. It would be looked at on a case by case basis. 127 128 Commissioner Carey stated it was suggested last year that all Commissions participate as one in 129 the parade. 130 131 Ms. Anfang stated the current parade Chair is acting on a sequence of parade themes and this 132 year it is "I(heart) Roseville." 133 134 Commissioner Manke commented she sees a lot of the same people at parades she is a part of. 135
