Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes March 20, 2019 –Draft Minutes Page 10of 18 401 Plan and Engagement. It is not inconsistent and seems to be a perfect melding of 402 opportunity to get something real done. 403 404 Chair Beltmann agreed and thought the Commission needed to do the partnership side 405 and she thought the Commission could do a lot. 406 407 Commissioner Djevi stated the City already does a lot of things and one way he looks 408 at it is if the Commission have some idea about what already has been done and how 409 the Commission can affect how those things are done. 410 411 Commissioner Bolinger stated the Commission has talked about more diversity and 412 more representation of different cultures and communities at Party in the Park. 413 414 Chair Beltmann stated she has dropped the ball. The work she needs to get done 415 before the next meeting is to go through the staff survey results and summarize that 416 and start to put together some best practices and she thought in her mind when she 417 was initially thinking about it, that work would help to surface some of those things. 418 She stated for the next meeting she can get that work done in terms of drafting the 419 summary and starting the best practices. As far as next steps in general, is everyone 420 in agreement in terms of the goals Ms. Olson has outlined in the packet. 421 422 Commissioner Eck stated it sounds like where the Commission is going with this is 423 the outreach piece, to help identify individuals, groups or organizations and create a 424 bit more of an inroad to help establish a relationship there so the Commission can 425 bring a stronger connection with the City. 426 427 Chair Beltmann thought it was people, places andgoing back to the staff survey. She 428 thought it was also helping to respond to questions that have come up through that. 429 430 Commissioner Peterson stated there are two pieces, it is the foundation piece, survey, 431 ideas on some best practices and the other piece the outreach piece to show some 432 connection the Commission has made. 433 434 Chair Beltmann thought the Commission was in agreement generally around the 435 goals, the bullet points outlined by Ms. Olson. She stated where the Commission 436 needs to get and will come from the City Council is the how piece. She thought the 437 next step for this would be to go before the City Council and provide an update on 438 where the Commission is at and have a conversation and bring a recommendation to 439 City Council as to how the Commission might want to execute this work going 440 forward and have a conversation with them to give the Commission direction. 441 442 Mr. Trudgeon stated the Commission wants to make sure that the staff survey and 443 results are compiled in a place where the Commission canshare it. He saw another 444 piece of starting to do the outreach to the various entities and groups. 445
