HRIEC 2018 Calendar & Next Steps <br /> March 13, 2018 <br /> Purpose <br /> The Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission (HRIEC) submitted an action plan to the <br /> City Council for review. The Council asked the HRIEC to return with additional information. In <br /> furtherance of this request, we have put together a calendar of how our commission will accomplish <br /> our objectives over the course of the year along with some more explanation of our intentions. <br /> Through it all, we recognize the inherent fluidity of this work. Any meeting can change based on things <br /> that happen in the community, or the Council may wish to direct the Commission to provide feedback <br /> on a given initiative, which would rise to the top of our priorities. We hold no illusion that every <br /> project could be finished by the end of the year. Instead most of the projects will be ongoing, and each <br /> will be subject to the development of specialized work plans and discussion with the Council. This <br /> discussion will reveal whether the project proceeds at all, and, if it does, how much further work will <br /> be invovled. <br /> In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, we propose biannual work sessions to focus on the HRIEC <br /> priority involving proactive policy advice to the Council. Sometimes monthly meetings get swallowed <br /> up by things already on the agenda and do not leave room for forward-thinking, ground-up discussion. <br /> We want to have specific time to step back and focus on what we and the City may not be focusing on <br /> already. <br /> Months on the calendar that do not have projects listed will be filled with ongoing discussion of <br /> previous items as well as other things that come up. <br /> Calendar <br /> January Develop process for review of essays <br /> MDHR Commissioner Visit <br /> February Rosefest discussion <br /> March Finalize essay winners <br /> Book read discussion <br /> April Town Hall/Open House discussion <br /> Plan for first policy work session <br /> May *Special meeting policy work session <br /> June Rosefest final preparation <br /> Essay contest strategy <br /> July Develop essay question <br /> August Photo project discussion <br /> September <br /> October Welcome packet discussion <br />
