Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />October 17, 2018 – Draft Minutes <br />Page 8of 13 <br />313 Mr. Wolf stated he wrote about aging issues for approximately twenty-five years for <br />314 the Star Tribune. He wrote a number or articles on what people wanted to be called <br />315 and Senior Citizen was something that was being moved away from in 1990. He <br />316 suggested it was worthwhiletalking to AARP to see what language is being used. He <br />317 would also talk to senior citizen groups. <br />318 <br />319 Commissioner Manke agreed that Elder was more the term she saw the Nation <br />320 moving towards, but she was not sure that it has been out in the mainstream long <br />321 enough to have been picked up yet. <br />322 <br />323 Youth Commissioner Hansel stated she looked up the term that the White House is <br />324 using, and it appeared to be Older American that President Obama started. <br />325 <br />326 Commissioner Peterson thought it would be a good idea to get feedback from some <br />327 senior groups. <br />328 <br />329 Chair Beltmann noted she would try to get input from AARP on language and senior <br />330 facilities and will bring back in November for full review. <br />331 <br />332 LGBTQQIA+ - was previously approved. <br />333 <br />334 Americans with Disabilities-was previously approved. <br />335 <br />336 Constitution Week – Chair Beltmann stated this proclamation takes place in <br />337 September. She did not have anyone check this but there are a lot of proclamations <br />338 that use this exact language. She thought it was pretty cut and dry. <br />339 <br />340 Ms. Olson thought if the Commission wanted to send this out for review that the <br />341 Daughters of the Revolutionare the ones that typically bring this forward to cities. <br />342 <br />343 Chair Beltmann thought she got the template from the Daughters of the Revolution <br />344 website. <br />345 <br />346 The Commission thought the proclamation looked good. <br />347 <br />348 Hispanic Heritage Week – Ms. Olson stated she did reach out to the Cultural <br />349 Liaison for Roseville and has not heard anything back. The question was whether <br />350 Hispanic Heritage Month was appropriate or if it should be Latin X. She noted <br />351 Hispanic Heritage Month is the National wording and the language comes from that <br />352 proclamation. <br />353 <br />354 Chair Beltmann thought it would be appropriate to stick with the National <br />355 proclamation. <br />356 <br />357 The Commission was ok with the proclamation. <br /> <br />
