Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes February 21, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 6 of 10 Commissioners Iverson and Hansel volunteered to read the initial group of essays. After the top essays are identified, they then be read and graded by the entire Commission using the same rubric. They will submit their scores to Ms. Olson by March 14 for the March 21 meeting and she will decide how many to move forward. d. Rose Parade Discussion Chair Holub provided a background on what has been done in the past. Ms. Olson stated Rice Street Gardens inquired if they could have some of their gardeners walk with the HRIEC during the parade since they have many immigrants as part of their group. Commissioner Djevi stated the parade is a great opportunity to show how diverse Roseville is. He suggested they have different diversity groups living and doing business in Roseville walk with the HRIEC and he is aware of two groups that might be interested. He met with Director of Parks and Recreation Brokke, and he liked the idea. He suggested if they apply for a diversity group under the HRIEC umbrella, they would not have to pay to participate in the parade. Commissioner Peterson commented she likes the idea, but it is different than last year where they invited other Commissions. Commissioner Groff stated they could still invite the other Commissions. Chair Holub stated they do not want to be a random group of people and would need to come up with a coherent message as to why they are all walking together. In the past, City Council appreciated all the Commissions being together and showing residents how to get involved. Commissioner Dailey suggested they walk with other diverse groups during the parade since it is more visual and focus Party in the Park on promoting involvement on Commissions. This will allow them to have conversations with people and explain their role as a Commissioner. Commissioner Peterson suggested they have a Meet Your Commissioners table as a way for people to find out about the Commissions. During the parade, they can have signs that identify the groups walking with them. Commissioner Djevi commented the parade will show diversity to the older generation in Roseville. He also stated he knows of a Philippino musical group and a Somali group that would be interested in participating, and suggested they look further into the gardeners group to see who is included in it. Chair Holub inquired about having the Chair of the Parade Committee come speak to the Commission.
