Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes March 21, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 5 of 17 181 Chair Holub commented there are two, equally valid approaches. By inviting different groups, it 182 shows that Roseville is not homogenous and is a unique and diverse place. By only having the 183 Commission present, it shows the face of the Commission and who is part of it. 184 185 Commissioner Manke stated they can combine both these approaches. They can have all the 186 Commission there and the messaging can be used by the Commissioners through signage. 187 188 Commissioner Eichenlaub stated they need to consider if they are selling how fun it is to be on a 189 Commission or show what a Commission does. 190 191 Commissioner Djevi commented the community engagement aspect has the potential to show 192 and engage communities that do not typically engage to be part of this event. They can also 193 show diversity as a group and could get two representatives from 10 different groups to walk in 194 the parade. 195 196 Commissioner Carey suggested the HRIEC break up as a Commission, go to diversity groups 197 and educate them and recruit them to participate in the parade. The Commission would be 198 behind the scenes for the parade and work to make the City's diversity apparent rather than make 199 the Commission apparent. 200 201 Commissioner Djevi agreed with Commissioner Carey. 202 203 Chair Holub stated she likes the idea of community groups having their own presence. It 204 provides a more powerful education tool for Roseville residents. 205 206 Commissioner Groff commented this idea gets the Commission to go out into the community 207 and provides a way to get new groups to be part of the parade. 208 209 Chair Holub stated they will discussing the parade with the Council on Monday. She questioned 210 whether they could make this idea happen this year. 211 212 Ms. Olson noted based on the number of applications already submitted for the parade, it would 213 be difficult to do the outreach and engagement appropriately. There will be some barriers and 214 there is not enough time to get people into the parade and plan what they will do. She suggested 215 they include this in the action plan they will be discussing with the Council as something to 216 accomplish for 2019. 217 218 Commissioner Groff stated they must have an organized process when they decide to recruit 219 groups for the parade. He suggested Commissioners bring in suggestions of organizations from 220 the community. 221 222 Ms. Olson commented they have some contacts through the Parks and Recreation Department's 223 events that have been done. The Discover Your Parks program may be a good opportunity to 224 build relationships. 225
