Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />April 17, 2019 – Draft Minutes <br />Page 9of 13 <br />357 <br />358 Commissioner Peterson stated she would be available. <br />359 <br />360 Chair Beltmann stated the reason she was pushing on this is because she did not think <br />361 it was the best use of the Commission’s time because the Commission has limited <br />362 time to plan with limited people available to be there, so she wondered if it was <br />363 worthwhile. <br />364 <br />365 Commissioner Bolinger agreed and thought this item should be tabled until next year <br />366 and then decide if the Commission wants to take the tent on themselves as their own <br />367 Commission and really do something with it. Maybe it would be to highlight a <br />368 proclamation for the month or do something as a Commission. She thought maybe <br />369 instead of having a booth the Commission could sponsor an event because that would <br />370 be engaging the community. <br />371 <br />372 Commissioner Peterson agreed and stated there is not enough of a clearlydefined <br />373 purpose to have a booth in 2019. <br />374 <br />375 Chair Beltmann stated this could be put on the agenda in the coming months to <br />376 discuss. <br />377 <br />378 Ms. Olson asked if the Chair or Vice Chair could reach out to the Assistant Parks and <br />379 Recreation Director to indicate the Commissions thoughts. <br />380 <br />381 Commissioner Peterson stated she could reach out along with Chair Beltmann. <br />382 <br />383 Commissioner Eck asked if Party in the Park has a theme because maybe the <br />384 Commission could do something based on that theme. <br />385 <br />386 Commissioner Peterson stated there is a theme each year and is decided by the <br />387 Rosefest Committee. She indicated this year’stheme is Engaging in the <br />388 Communities Success. She was excited with the theme this year because itfit in <br />389 perfectly with what the Commission is doing. <br />390 <br />391 e. Commission Recruitment Discussion <br />392 Chair Beltmann summarized that discussion occurred at the last Commission meeting <br />393 regarding the process for appointment for vacancies on the Commission. The <br />394 Commission has requested time to discuss the process for recruiting Youth <br />395 Commissioners. <br />396 <br />397 Commissioner Peterson stated she did not have anything more to say on this subject <br />398 and she voiced her concerns. She thought the agenda item was more on discussion <br />399 for Youth Commissioners. She stated the Commission needs to think about the <br />400 recruitment. <br />401 <br /> <br />
