Human Trafficking/Exploitation (needs further research)—Commissioner Peterson Commissioner Dailey requested suggestions on how they should proceed for reviewing the language. The Commission agreed to first see what Congress, the State of Minnesota and local community groups have, then look more broadly, if needed. They discussed making the proclamations locally relevant to Roseville and will plan have a rough draft, revised proclamation, or update to Ms. Olson for the March meeting packet by March 14. This step will allow them to get a better feel for each proclamation and which they would like to propose to be featured. Commissioner Djevi suggested they inquire of each community if there is an event that takes place that would go along with the proclamation. Warren Wolf, Roseville Resident, suggested they look as census data for Roseville when considering which proclamations to include. He noted the older people in his church were surprised to find out the racial diversity in the City and these proclamations could help with educating the public. Chair Holub noted the more recent census was done in 2010. Ms. Olson stated they could also look at the Metropolitan Council's projections and the American Community Survey that was done in 2017. c. Essay Contest Rubric and Scoring Ms. Olson reported they have received 54 essays. She directed the Commission to the updated rubric included in the meeting packet that was created by Commissioner Peterson. The Commission agreed to use the updated rubric and stated it is reasonable, simpler, and provides more consistency. The Commission discussed the process for grading the essays. In order provide consistency, they agreed to have the same group of Commissioners read all the essays and have at least two Commissioners read each essay.
