Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 8, 2019 Page 3 War brought new Vietnamese, Cambodian, Hmong and Laotian communities to the United States of America," and more recently there have been people from Myanmar, Nepal, and Bhutan and other countries. So, he thought maybe there should be another Whereas that could be added related to those specific communi- ties to Roseville. He wondered if the Commission had any discussion in that re- gard to those specific communities. Chair Beltmann stated the Commission did not have any discussions regarding that. Councilmember Laliberte thought that would tie the proclamation back to the City specifically a little bit more and it would be nice to add that. She thought this was something that could be changed and looked at during future reviews. Councilmember Etten thought another Whereas clause would be appropriate to highlight the community. Councilmember Groff thought that was a really good idea as it does tie it in locally. Mayor Roe stated that is something the Commission could look at again at the next HRIEC meeting before approval. Chair Beltmann stated the Commission has reviewed the proclamations thorough- ly and felt good with the changes so she was sure any changes the Council wanted made, the Commission would be fine with changing. She questioned if the change to the proclamation could just be made at this meeting and adopted be- cause it looked like there was Council consensus to add the Whereas. Mayor Roe stated on the Mental Health Awareness Month the third Whereas that states "We recognize numerous residents of the City of Roseville are impacted by mental illness," he wondered if there was any discussion or if it made sense talk- ing about across generations because certainly there are young people and fami- lies that are impacted but there are also seniors in the community that are impact- ed by mental health issues. Mayor Roe stated in this particular area, the City of Roseville is actually finan- cially supporting Northeast Youth and Family Services, which provides mental health services in the community and Roseville does see a benefit with that in terms of the mental health of the community as well as reduced issues potentially with people entering into the criminal justice system. The City is also teaming up with the Alzheimer's and Dementia Awareness Group and the Community Health Awareness Teams (CHAT). Both of those things might be something related to mental health and worth mentioning in a Whereas clause as well.
