Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes April 18, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 12 of 16 Commissioner Beltmann inquired if they have data on the number of people who leave the City or come to the City to work. Ms. Olson responded they may have that data. Why - • Understand why they are engaging and what the end goal is. • Understand the need from the other side of engagement. How - • This can be done when they have completed their research and have resources to look at. Ms. Olson stated she will send a follow up email to remind Commissioners to send information on research for the next meeting. The Commission recessed at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened at 8:37 p.m. c. Rosefest Parade and Party In the Park Planning Chair Holub reported they received direction from the Council to continue planning for Rosefest with the parade and Party in the Park. The Council wants them to provide ideas for ways these events can better engage the City's Commissions and the community, with these ideas being executed via City staff. Commissioner Peterson noted the Council also wanted them to focus community engagement with a group that is not well represented in 2019. She recommended they put it on their planning calendar to begin work right after this year's Rosefest. She also suggested a member of the HRIEC work on the parade committee. This would require the parade committee to meet at a different time since they usually meet at the same time as the HRIEC. Ms. Olson stated they need to decide how they want to participate in the parade this year. Chair Holub provided an update to new Commissioners on what was done last year. Chair Holub explained they concluded not to have members of community groups walk with them during the parade due to the size of the group. They also found out it would be free for groups to participate and this would allow them to have their own contingency. They plan to be more strategic with this next year rather than try to force it at the last minute. The Commission agreed that the Council wanted them to have all the Commissions participate together and City staff would be responsible for encouraging their Commission to participate. Ms. Olson agreed.
