Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes March 20, 2019 –Draft Minutes Page 8of 18 312 had any thoughts or if anything was missing from the list, anything else to consider or 313 anything the Commission does not agree with. 314 315 Commissioner Djevi thought there was a big piece missing, which is the how. The 316 Commission has reasons why it is being done, goals but there is not anything about 317 how it will be done. That is something that the group should be able to make 318 recommendations on the how. 319 320 Mr. Trudgeon wondered if that was part of the foundation as far as best practices and 321 having training for staff or other community engagers. He wondered if that got at the 322 how a little bit. 323 324 Chair Beltmann thought the table that was put together was the how and the work that 325 will be done by the Commission. 326 327 Commissioner Peterson thought it was how the Commission was going the work but 328 not how the outreach will actually be done. 329 330 Commissioner Eck thought it should be to make those connection and establish those 331 relationships and what is the Commission’s role in that, what is the scope. 332 333 Commissioner Peterson thought the how piece was the hardest part because the City 334 struggles with that. She stated the Commission would not be doing this project if the 335 City was great at doing that. She thought the how part was challenging. She thought 336 this looked great on paper but what is the Commission’s role. 337 338 Commissioner Macomber stated that is where she lacked some clarity still. She 339 wondered what the Commission’s piece of the how was and what is the City’s. 340 341 Commissioner Peterson wondered if the Commission could bring this to the City 342 Council and let the Council know what the Commission has discussed and look for 343 feedback on next steps. 344 345 Chair Beltmann stated this was brought forward before to the City Council and what 346 she took out of the meeting was the Commission can develop a list of community 347 contacts but then in terms of actually going out and doing the outreach there wasn’t 348 any clarity as to who does what and she thought that needs to be a direction from the 349 City Council because she would get concerned that if the Commission is doing a lot 350 of work to make contacts within the community and then no one makes the contact it 351 is a moot point. She thought if the Commission would be responsible for doing the 352 outreach and then handing off the relationship, the Commission should make sure that 353 there is an infrastructure and process in place to maintain those because otherwise she 354 felt it might backfire on all of them. 355
