Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes December 19, 2018 – Draft Minutes Page 3of 14 92 93 Vice Chair Peterson stated there was quite a bit of feedback the Commission received 94 from all of the Councilmembers. She thought there were a lot of moving targets. She 95 noted the minutes from the City Council meeting were not in the Commission packet. 96 97 Commissioner Bolinger stated another question is how the Commission will try to 98 find uniformity of proclamations when each proclamation is discussing something 99 different. 100 101 Commissioner Macomber indicated she was at the City Council as well and the idea 102 of consistency and that flow is good. She thought she remembered the Council 103 addressing that with a little bit of understanding that there could not be an absolute 104 “fill in the blanks”. It may be seeing which pieces fit. She did not remember the 105 discussion about particular individuals as necessarily being the Council’s desire to 106 hear a series of Roseville citizens or leaders named. She took it to be that if there 107 were someone historically that could be used as an example, then that would be what 108 the Council would be looking for. 109 110 Commissioner Bolinger thought the Commission’s initial intent was to mold the 111 proclamations to reflect the National Proclamations and now the City is looking at 112 taking a slightly different approach to it. 113 114 Vice Chair Peterson indicated she had some feedback that she thought about and sent 115 to Ms. Olson right after the City Council meeting. Specifically, the Council had 116 singled out the Women’s History Month because thatwas missing a piece about the 117 congressional part and she did some more research as to why she did not include that 118 and she had based the current Women’s History Month Proclamation after three 119 sources; The State of Minnesota, President Obama and President Trump’s 120 proclamation and that is not included there. Additionally, when she was thinking 121 about this,she thought the point of the Commission doing these proclamations was to 122 update them and to make them really pertinent to now and what is going on now. She 123 did not know that she felt like sticking with the status quo or what has been done in 124 the past is quite where she wants this to go. She thought uniformity is good but also 125 the City is not going to be reading them all back to back so having the proclamations 126 sound all the same might not make that much of a difference. 127 128 Commissioner Djevi stated he was not at the City Council meeting and did not get a 129 chance to watch it, but he thought when the Commission had discussions around 130 these subjects, the Commission wanted to start from National and narrow it down to 131 be more pertinent to Roseville. He wondered if that has changed from the Council 132 perspective. 133 134 Vice Chair Peterson did not think it changed but thought the Council wanted it to be 135 more consistent among all of the proclamations and then add a few pieces that might 136 have been missing in individual proclamations to make that more uniform.
