Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 8,2019 Page 2 Ms. Olson stated the Commission is beginning that work. There have been some interactions with people from the Hispanic community but she did not know to what extent that is and did not think any planning has been done yet, that will gear up in the next two months or so. The Commission will bring back some infor- mation for the Council to consider. Councilmember Groff noticed the Commission recommended reviewing the proc- lamations every three to five years and he thought that was an important piece of information because things change. He thought that was a good idea. He thought the proclamations are spot on and as things change in society, it is nice for them to be recognized in the City and reminded that those individuals are welcome in Roseville as well. He noted he appreciated the work. Chair Beltmann from the HRIEC arrived at the meeting and stated the Commis- sion is feeling really good as to where the proclamations are and hope the Council will approve the remaining proclamations. The Commission felt the events in January went well and felt good to be able to highlight the proclamation and tie it to the events and the display case work. Beltmann feels like it is a nice opportuni- ty for the HRIEC to highlight the proclamations. She stated there is a spot in the parade in June and suggested this is an opportunity to highlight June as LGBTQ month. Councilmember Etten appreciated the detailed process laid out that lets the Coun- cil know where things are at. He also appreciated the work done on the proclama- tions themselves. Councilmember Laliberte thanked the Commission for doing all of the work on these. She thought some of the proclamations have really good information about who the HRIEC reached out to and if there was a response or not. She noted a few of the proclamations did not indicate who the discussion was with such, as the Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. She was not sure if discussions took place with an organization or individuals. She thought some of that type of information would be helpful going forward. She thought it was also helpful for Ms. Olson to walk through the changes but if the changes could be included in the table for the public to see what changed, that would be helpful as well. Councilmember Groff stated he did go to the January event and was very im- pressed with the presentation and attendance and being able to let the people know about other programming going on. Mayor Roe stated on the first proclamation for Asian and Pacific Islander Herit- age Month, keeping the word "and" between Asian and Pacific Islander makes a little more sense because it is two separate places where the people are from and if there is a hash mark between them, it starts to blend together. He was also cu- rious in that proclamation in the Whereas where it states "The end of the Vietnam
