Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes June 12, 2019 Page 18 of 19 Commissioner Peterson stated she did reach out to people within that community which reviewed the Proclamation and were ok with that. Chair Beltmann stated she appreciated the change to the first Whereas because she did not think that was worded well at all before. The third Whereas in Attachment B she would like to recommend that the Commission put that into Attachment A in place of what is there and thought it was something that is important to continue to be conscious of. Youth Commissioner Iverson agreed with the last Whereas for attachment B being removed so the Commission does not have to continually update the language. Commissioner Peterson moved and Commissioner Djevi seconded a motion to approve Attachment C to include the third Whereas from Attachment B. Motion passed unanimously. g. Census Outreach at Family Night Out Ms. Olson summarized that the City is starting it efforts to raise awareness and answer questions about the 2020 census.
