Attachment C Debrief from Joint Meeting Mayor Roe duly noted that intent, suggesting part of that discussion by the HRIEC needed to be how to provide that timely input on issues under consideration, and taking into consideration the timing concerns for the City Council meeting agendas, as well as the typical monthly meetings and cycling of pertinent agenda items from those commissions. Councilmember Etten thanked the HRIEC for their work and time in working through the process of melding the two former commissions together. Councilmember Etten stated that he liked a lot of the things done by the HRIEC to-date, having watched their meetings and evidenced their attempts to work together. Councilmember Etten recognized that this is a unique commission since it sponsored activities, a valuable part of what they did. Councilmember Etten stated his appreciation for the draft work plan,but expressed concern that some of the items listed in the "engage" objective seemed to him to involve more evaluation than engagement. Chair Holub clarified that came from evaluating methods about how those events are currently handled. Specific to the photo project, Councilmember Etten stated that he wanted to see it fleshed out in more detail; if it involved the faces of Roseville as discussed previously, he wanted to see how that worked out with local businesses or resident traffic to make the project work. On the "advise/engage" objective, Councilmember Etten stated that he supported the HRIEC's work with Rosefest and Party in the Park, especially by engaging other commissions. As to the Open House/Town Hall concept, Councilmember Etten stated that he was interested in that blended idea, possibly involving 4-5 hours by city staff and advisory commissioners, with a Town Hall forum of perhaps one hour's duration in the middle of the event. Specific to the welcome materials, Councilmember Etten referenced his personal experience when first moving to Roseville, and the value he found in that information, opining he would like to see it continue for new families, with that information providing information on updating homes, loan programs, and other interests of newcomers to Roseville (resources and opportunities, such as the pathway system). Councilmember Etten agreed that it needed to be done in different format than the past"packet" but still should welcome people. Councilmember Etten agreed with the skepticism of his colleagues with the HRIEC monitoring other commissions. At the request of Councilmember Etten, Chair Holub clarified that the HRIEC does not currently have a representative on the Southeast Roseville Working Group since they're not currently meeting, but that former Human Rights Commission(HRC) Chair Wayne Groff had served in that capacity in the past. Regarding the HRIEC monitoring other commissions, Councilmember Etten noted the City Council's reliance on the future agenda reports provided by administration, typically 1-2 months out, as a way for them to keep aware of upcoming items on the City Council's agenda. Councilmember Etten suggested that the City Manager or his staff could send a copy of that to the Chair or Vice Chair of the HRIEC as a tool for long-term planning. While not all agenda items went through that process, Councilmember Etten suggested that may help in their monitoring of issues coming before the city. However, as far as the HRIEC observing or monitoring other commissions, Councilmember Etten stated that he was uncomfortable in reading that as part of the work plan and also how the HRIEC could realistically achieve that objective.
