Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br />July 17, 2019 <br />Page 3 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson explained the Roseville parade is a part of Rosefest and there <br />is a separate parade committee that coordinates all of the parade entries and the <br />HRIEC always has a parade spot and tends to include all of the Commissions with <br />that. She noted she took the lead for this Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Djevi explained this year, the Commission decided to incorporate <br />Pride month into the parade and invited the community to engage in the process. <br /> <br />Ms. Olson indicated she was hoping to get on the calendar for future agenda items <br />was when the Commission wants to start talking about planning for the 2020 parade, <br />so it is set and built into the work plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson suggested January or February 2020 to start discussion on <br />parade planning. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann suggested January or February for starting to plan and to continue to <br />highlight LGBTQIA+ month. <br /> <br />Commissioner Djevi explained another idea he has proposed a number of times is <br />having a diversity group of people walk together in the parade. He thought by doing <br />that it would reach out to a broader community. <br /> <br />Ms. Olson noted there has also been discussion regarding how to get more diverse <br />groups in general involved in the parade which could be included as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson explained she is on the Parade Committee separate from this <br />and is something she is trying to engage that group in on how it can be more inclusive <br />and including groups that are not typically represented. <br /> <br />Chair Beltmann asked what the timeline is for the parade planning. She wondered if <br />the Commission could discuss this in March. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peterson indicated March would be too late. She indicated most <br />entries are already chosen. She noted the band piece is decided in September, which <br />is very early. The actual parade entries open in February or March and is closed <br />when it fills up. <br /> <br />b. Hispanic Heritage Programming Discussion <br />Commissioner Djevi reviewed the Hispanic Heritage Month programming and the <br />previous work done. <br /> <br />Ms. Olson thought this programming is well laid out and is scheduled for review with <br />nd <br />the City Council on Monday, July 22 and hoped Commissioner Djevi and some of <br />the Commission could be there to discuss. She noted the City Council might have <br /> <br />
