Assistant City Manager Rebecca Olson briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated July 22, 2019. Commissioner Bolinger and Vice Chair Peterson reviewed the Hispanic Heritage Month programming planned for October 2019. Ms. Olson noted in regard to budget, there is some money available in the Com- mission budget for an event. She did not have specifics but could give the Council general information on some of the movie licensing and food truck rental. The Commission would like to get the Council's feedback and based on what the Council is looking for, the Commission can come back with a more solid budget. Councilmember Groff thought that was some very good work the Commission has done. He liked that the Commission reached out to the community and got their input. He thought the ideas the community came up with are some of the things the Commission has talked about to form community. The other thing he liked about this idea is that it would reach out to many residents in Roseville, pos- sibly being a unifier for the City. He like those aspects of it. He liked the food truck and movie idea, noting the Commission has thought of a range of things that would interest the people and would be a very family friendly event so he would support it. Councilmember Etten agreed with the positives and appreciated the direct connec- tions into the different members of the Hispanic communities in Roseville and the Roseville area. He thought the sub-titles were a great gateway. He questioned of seeking sponsors had been discussed, as the budget is probably not very big so he suggested looking to sponsors. He also suggested researching into food trucks and how many would be needed. He thought it was excellent to work with the Park and Recreation Department and agreed that time is of the essence at this point. He
