Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes June 20, 2018 —Draft Minutes Page 6 of 7 226 14th, there was a presentation of Imagine Roseville data collected in 2017. He was 227 present and believes there were many unanswered questions. He asked whether there 228 is any next step for Imagine Roseville to get at the findings from the data collection. 229 230 Assistant City Manager Olson recalled the Council wants to have a discussion 231 themselves on Imagine Roseville that sets the parameters of what they would like 232 from the HREIC. 233 234 Commissioner Subramanian noted that a posted video can only show partial 235 information; it does not show the full view. He suggested getting some kind of a 236 recommendation on how to communicate to the public so it is less offensive. 237 238 Commissioner Djevi commented he has had a meeting with the Police Chief, and he 239 truly wants to make things better. He believes efforts should be made to improve 240 relationships between the PD and the community. This Commission has an 241 opportunity to work with the Police to facilitate that relationship. 242 243 Commissioner Manke stated if someone chooses to disregard a law, everyone knows 244 there are consequences. She questioned why someone would continue on when asked 245 by a police officer to stop. 246 247 Commissioner Beltmann cautioned that this conversation may be better had outside 248 the parameters of this Commission. She noted there is a larger historical context as 249 well. 250 251 Commissioner Hansel commented on mental health issues. She suggested the 252 Council re-consider implementing a mental health liaison. 253 254 Commissioner Djevi stated he has talked with the Police Chief about that very issue 255 some time ago. He urged the Commission to seize the moment to work with the PD 256 on community relations. 257 258 Commissioner Peterson agreed with Chair Holub's previous comments that the 259 Commission's work on racial profiling should not be overlooked. That 260 Commission's work on racial profiling also applies to this particular incident. 261 262 The Commission discussed bringing in the Police Chief to discuss community 263 engagement and building community relations with the HRIEC. 264 265 It was decided that Chair Holub will create a template which Commissioners can use 266 to create questions to discuss with the Police Chief. Once this additional research is 267 done, the Police Chief will be invited to attend a future HRIEC meeting, wherein the 268 questions will be discussed and a conversation will be had regarding building mutual 269 respect for the PD and the community. 270
