Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br /> October 18, 2017—Draft Minutes <br /> Page 3 of 10 <br /> Commissioner Djevi noted that profiling happens more than people realize, and he asked how <br /> stories of profiling can be shared with the public. <br /> Mayor Roe noted confidentiality is important, so standards will have to be developed so that the <br /> people sharing the stories are free to use their names only if they desire. <br /> Ms. Olson noted that 99 percent of the data collected by the City is public information, so <br /> redacting information may not be an option. She suggested partnering with another group to <br /> house the information. <br /> Commissioner Manke expressed concern about another group housing very private information <br /> about profiling. <br /> Ms. Olson suggested talking to the library about how it handled Green Card Voices. <br /> Commissioner Groff discussed the importance of creating an online resource for folks wanting to <br /> file a human rights complaint. He noted the MDHR is set up to conduct investigations, but the <br /> HRIEC is not. <br /> Ms. Olson suggested reviewing the City of Bloomington's Human Rights Commission website <br /> for their vast list of resources. She also requested feedback from the HRIEC on what types of <br /> resources Commissioners would like listed on the website. <br /> Commissioner Peterson noted the importance of including on the website a notice of <br /> confidentiality for complaints. <br /> Ms. Olson discussed the process of handling referrals, once the website is up, and the importance <br /> protocol regarding email communication (e.g., do not hit Reply to All after a complaint has been <br /> sent on the website). <br /> Mayor Roe noted if a HRIEC member is made aware of a particular complaint, the general <br /> details can be communicated to Ms. Olson so the rest of the Commission can know something <br /> has happened without divulging details. <br /> Ms. Olson will coordinate inviting a representative of the MDHR to speak to the HRIEC. <br /> Commissioner Groff noted the importance of establishing a protocol for future communications <br /> with the MDHR. <br /> Youth Commissioner Report <br /> Youth Commissioner Hansel reported that the Teens for Human Rights club (THR) at Roseville <br /> High School started up last month, with a lot of new members joining. They have been working <br /> on advertising and ideas for new projects. They are working on posting Human Rights articles <br />
