Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,July 9, 2018 <br /> Page 10 <br /> Mayor Roe emphasized considering a future handoff from the HRIEC's work in <br /> identifying key individuals in local communities to the staff actually implement- <br /> ing outreach strategies. <br /> Commissioner Djevi commented on who will actually be doing the outreach <br /> work. The Commission could do part of that work, but Commission members <br /> would also engage the volunteer service coordinator and the City volunteers as <br /> another way of engaging the community. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte cautioned against sending off the City's volunteers in <br /> this new engagement process. <br /> Mayor Roe noted he presumed there would still be some connection between the <br /> volunteers and the HRIEC. <br /> Councilmember Etten stated staff should be connected as well, to ensure continui- <br /> ty back into the City. Maybe initial outreaches can be made by the HRIEC, but <br /> staff should be on board to ensure it is made part of how things are done. <br /> Chair Holub asked whether the Council wants to see a work plan. <br /> The Council concurred the HRIEC does not need to come back with a work plan. <br /> Commissioner Willmus asked about the size and efficiency of the HRIEC at 11 <br /> members vs. 9 members, as there will be two vacancies on the Commission. <br /> Chair Beltmann commented the group functions well. She could see a need for <br /> bringing a need for at least one other person who has some more experience with <br /> either inclusion work or general engagement work. Nexus Community Partners <br /> does a training program for Boards and Commissions, and that could potentially <br /> be a great place to bring someone in. <br /> f. Declare Two Vacancies on the Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement <br /> Commission <br /> Mayor Roe indicated there are two vacancies on the HRIEC and asked for further <br /> discussion. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte noted that staff should continue to ensure there are not a <br /> lot of subcommittees and that all the Commission is working together. <br /> McGehee moved, Etten seconded, declaring two vacancies on the HRIEC, one <br /> with a term that ends March 31, 2019 and one for a term that expires March 31, <br /> 2020. <br /> Roll Call <br />
