Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes February 21, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 3 of 10 Commissioner Peterson recalled the Council requested a blueprint for outreach that could be used by any Commission. Ms. Olson offered to bring a blueprint she already has from a previous Commission that they could use as a starting point and suggested it be coupled with the IAP2 training. The Commission agreed. b. City Proclamations Next Steps Chair Holub reported they submitted a written report to the City Council and worked hard to get clear direction on what to do next. She highlighted the following HRIEC recommendations and City Council's response to each: • HRIEC recommendation: Review existing proclamation language. City Council Response: The Council would like the HRIEC to review the language of the current City proclamations and report back on any recommended changes. • HRIEC recommendation: Increase awareness of City proclamations and pilot featured proclamations. City Council response: The City Council would like the HRIEC to bring back their thoughts and ideas for programming suggestions, or other methods to increase awareness, as well as which proclamations to feature in the pilot program. • HRIEC recommendation: Add LGBT and Disability Awareness month proclamations City Council Response: The City Council was supportive of doing another LGBT proclamation. They would like the HRIEC to make recommendations on any other proclamations that would be relevant to the community, keeping in mind the current policy proclamation. Commissioner Djevi stated he felt the Council was open to their recommendations and that they like the idea of having the Commission come up with ideas of activities that could be linked to the proclamations. Commissioner Dailey summarized they should come up with a way to review the language in the current proclamations and a list of ways to start advertising. Chair Holub pointed out there were some proclamations they were told they did not need to review, and they should only review the ones related to the scope of the Commission. They were open to having the Commission pick a featured proclamation and propose a process for developing additional awareness. Commissioner Peterson expressed concern with only a general plan instead of a detailed plan for a featured proclamation. They may not be ready to move forward on it if the Council wants them to. She suggested they be strategic in what they pick. Commissioner Groff suggested they wait until September to present a plan to the Council due to the Commission's busy spring and summer schedule of events.
