She thought the Commission is going before the Council with enough <br />time that the Council would expect it as an idea. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson thought having some key examples of the place and idea <br />would be good to bring forward for the Council. She thought the Commission did not <br />want this to be open ended for the Council, but the Commission did want the Council <br />feedback. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann stated if the Commission wants to bring the community together with <br />the City, she would caution putting together something serious or heavy because she <br />thought that would be separating the Hispanic Community.

At this meeting, the Commission should decide on a <br />topic, and in July, brainstorm essay questions for that topic with the intent to finalize <br />the question in August. <br /> <br />Ms. Olson stated she would like the Commission to brainstorm on what the essay <br />contest topic could be based on and then at the next meeting to come back with some <br />suggested essay questions surrounding those topics and narrow it down to what the <br />Commission wants to ask. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson suggested gun violence as a topic because it is big out there <br />now. <br /> <br />Youth Commissioner Iverson thought an essay question about privacy or internet <br />information, something like that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson suggested tying in something with social media. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann stated kids are dealing more with depression and anxiety because of <br />social media. Maybe the mental health effects of social media would be an <br />interesting topic. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
