Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />March 20, 2019 –Draft Minutes <br />Page 17of 18 <br />713 Chair Beltmann indicated that was the reason. <br />714 <br />715 Commissioner Peterson stated there was lots of discussion on the merger and how <br />716 many Commissioners should be on the HRIEC. <br />717 <br />718 Commissioner Eck stated if the Commission is talking about all of the work that <br />719 needs to be done then the Commission needs to be more actively involved. <br />720 <br />721 Commissioner Djevi stated there is a lot of work to do on the Commission and there <br />722 needs to be manpower to get it done. He wondered why the Commission is having so <br />723 much turn over and something the Council needs to discuss. He stated the <br />724 Commission can bring people on but cannot make the Commissioners stay if the <br />725 persondoes not want to. <br />726 <br />727 Chair Beltmann agreed and thought some of the turnover is natural. <br />728 <br />729 Commissioner Peterson did not think turnover should limit the Commission numbers. <br />730 She stated turnover is challenging but there are ways the Commission can get around <br />731 it in her opinion. <br />732 <br />733 Commissioner Macomber thought there could be a mentor for the new <br />734 Commissioners to help them get up to speed and work through issues. <br />735 <br />736 Commissioner Peterson stated the Commission had done that with the Youth <br />737 Commissioners,so she thought the Commission needed to implement that something <br />738 like that when new Commissioners come onboard because it is a lot to take on.She <br />739 thought that might help with the retention rate as well. <br />740 <br />741 Commissioner Peterson asked if staff could reach out to the applicants who did not <br />742 interview to see if the interview could be rescheduled. <br />743 <br />744 Mr. Trudgeon stated staff will reach out to the people who applied. <br />745 <br />746 Commissioner Peterson asked if the two people will be interviewed again because if <br />747 the City Council is going to interview new applicants it could be unfair to the two that <br />748 previously interviewed because those two people will not be fresh in the Council’s <br />749 mind. <br />750 <br />751 Commissioner Macomber was worried the two applicants who applied and <br />752 interviewed may decide to drop out. <br />753 <br />754 Chair Beltmann thought there was some needed discussion regarding the process for <br />755 both recruiting and interviewing and honoring the time and commitment. <br />756 <br /> <br />
