Roseville Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Agenda Item DATE: October 17, 2018 ITEM: 7c ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion on Pilot Proclamation Background In January, 2018, the Commission presented recommendations to the City Council regarding city proclamations. These recommendations include: • Review existing proclamation language.The HRIEC or another body designated by Council would conduct an in-depth review of current proclamations and provide recommended changes to content and language within those proclamations.This would enable our City's proclamations to be as contemporary and locally-relevant as possible. • Increase awareness of city proclamations.Upcoming proclamations would be mentioned on the city website,city newsletter and other appropriate forms of communication. In doing so awareness of the proclamation can reach a larger audience and therefore further promote the proclamation's purpose. • Pilot one or two featured proclamations in 2018.In addition to the proclamation the city would have programming or outreach related to the proclamation.The City would make a purposeful effort to educate the community or engage with those affected by the proclamation's topic.This shows that our City is working towards meaningful progress related to what is being proclaimed. The Commission has been working throughout 2018 to review existing proclamation language as well as receive feedback/input from specific groups within Roseville that are impacted by those proclamations. As that process comes closer to finalization, the next step is to bring forward suggestions for a specific proclamation to be the "Featured" proclamation for 2019. Recommendation Discuss potential options for a featured proclamation for 2019. In addition, develop a suggested programming plan in order to educate the community or engage with those affected by the proclamation's topic.
