Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes March 20, 2019 –Draft Minutes Page 12of 18 490 Mr. Trudgeonstated the discussion should focus on what the Commission would like 491 to achieve from their involvement with this event, how best to do that, and the 492 timeline and resources need to accomplish whatever the Commission decides. 493 494 Chair Beltmann did not think the Commission could come up with something for the 495 parade on their own but does this Commission want to participatewith the other 496 Commissions or does the Commission want to recommend all of the other 497 Commissions join forces again and march or are there any other ideas. 498 499 Commissioner Bolinger asked if the Commission can ask other communities to walk 500 with them. 501 502 Mr. Trudgeon suggested because he might be out of town and he has a spot secured 503 the Commission could take his spot in the parade to bring a group together and then 504 the Commissions could still have their spot in the parade. 505 506 Commissioner Bolinger thought the other Commissions should be told so those 507 Commissions can invite other peopleto have a better presence. 508 509 Chair Beltmann wondered if the Commission could set up a hot dog and water stand 510 or something along the route instead of walking in the parade to engage the 511 community more. 512 513 Commissioner Bolinger thought because the parade route is so long the Commission 514 would only be engaging a small percentage of people. 515 516 Commissioner Peterson would suggest doing something like that in Party in the Park 517 rather than at the parade. For the parade she would recommend having the Corrine 518 Group to walk and it will display a community group that is under-represented. She 519 also suggested including some Nepaleseor Hispanics to walk with the Commission. 520 521 Chair Beltmann stated June is LBGTQQIA month and Pride weekend is right around 522 the parade so she wondered if the Commission could do a Pride focus to tie the 523 Proclamation. This would be another way the Commission is highlighting the 524 Proclamations. 525 526 The Commission liked that idea. 527 528 Commissioner Bolinger asked if the Commission could have t-shirts that have the 529 rainbow flag on it. 530 531 Commissioner Peterson stated she would be happy to reach out to some groups. 532 533 Youth Commissioner Iverson stated he would be happy to talk to the High School 534 group and thought that group would be happy to help out.
