Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />November 14, 2018 – Draft Minutes <br />Page 8 of 10 <br /> <br />314 Ms. Olson thought those are the techniques the City can use depending on where the <br />315 person is at. She stated it depends on what the City objectives are and how the City <br />316 would want the people involved. <br />317 <br />318 Chair Beltmann asked how many departments have gone through the training. <br />319 <br />320 Ms. Olson stated the Park and Rec Department has touched on a lot of these but does <br />321 not know of anyone else in the City that has this specific training. It is something that <br />322 staff has discussed but is a big undertaking and very intense. She knew the City <br />323 Council is interested in getting this information out to staff. She thought this was <br />324 something to understand the basic foundations of before talking about best practices. <br />325 <br />326 Commissioner Hassan asked when the orbits overlap each other is there any issues. <br />327 <br />328 Ms. Olson stated this is the IAP2’s image of how people are viewed. An advisor <br />329 typically is not the person making the decision and would not overlap. She stated the <br />330 planners help to plan out a resolution,but those people are not decision makers either. <br />331 People can move from one to the other, but the orbits don’t necessarily change. <br />332 <br />333 Chair Beltmann stated on the work plan calendar, heading into the new year, she <br />334 thought the Commission is at the point of compiling survey results and draftingthe <br />335 best practices documentto have it ready after the first of year. She would like to <br />336 discuss how to break up the work going forward. She felt there was a few different <br />337 buckets of work that needs to be done to move the Commission to the next phase of <br />338 their work. <br />339 <br />340 Ms. Olson reviewed with the Commission the survey responses. <br />341 <br />342 Commissioner Peterson thought it was interesting to see that a couple of survey <br />343 results showed the departments want to engage more with renters, new residents, new <br />344 Americans and people with color and diversity. <br />345 <br />346 Chair Beltmann thought the Parks and Recreation Department was of most interest to <br />347 her. It feels like that department has been doing a lot of really good work. In terms <br />348 of departments to go back and interview, the Parks and Recreation Department would <br />349 be one she would recommend going back to that department to learn what has been <br />350 going on so well. <br />351 <br />352 Ms. Olson thought the Park and Recreation Department has had the most experience <br />353 with outreach in the Community. <br />354 <br />355 Commissioner Peterson thought the first part of the engagement recommendation <br />356 would be to present demographics and summarize that somehow for the departments. <br />357 <br /> <br />
