Item 8b. <br /> City Proclamations <br /> HRIEC Recommendations on City Proclamations <br /> As requested by the City Council, the Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement <br /> Commission (HRIEC) has reviewed the current City policies regarding proclamations. <br /> Based on review and discussion of current policy and practices, the HRIEC has formed <br /> the following recommendations, for which Council direction is requested: <br /> • Review existing proclamation language. The HRIEC or another body <br /> designated by Council would conduct an in-depth review of current proclamations <br /> and provide recommended changes to content and language within those <br /> proclamations. This would enable our City's proclamations to be as contemporary <br /> and locally-relevant as possible. <br /> • Increase awareness of city proclamations.Upcoming proclamations would be <br /> mentioned on the city website, city newsletter and other appropriate forms of <br /> communication. In doing so awareness of the proclamation can reach a larger <br /> audience and therefore further promote the proclamation's purpose. <br /> • Pilot one or two featured proclamations in 2018. In addition to the <br /> proclamation the city would have programming or outreach related to the <br /> proclamation. The City would make a purposeful effort to educate the community <br /> or engage with those affected by the proclamation's topic. This shows that our <br /> City is working towards meaningful progress related to what is being proclaimed. <br /> • Add LGBT Month proclamation in June. Congress currently is observing the <br /> LGBT community in June and Roseville has done so in past years. <br />
