Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes December 18, 2019 Draft Minutes Page 4 of 9 Ms. Olson did not think the survey responses needed to be a part of the document because responses will probably change from time to time but should be a part of the City Council packet. Chair Beltmann wondered on the first page if adding a sentence prior to the Racial trated by the around inclusivity or is the Racial Equity Statement enough and add the language Ms. Olson read from GARE related to race. Commissioner Peterson thought a blurb or sentence from GARE would be more than adequate to explain why this document is leading with race. Commissioner Peterson moved and Commissioner Bolinger seconded a motion to approve the document with noted changes to bring forward to the City Council in January for the joint meeting. Motion passed unanimously. c. 2020 Work Plan Discussion Chair Beltmann updated the Commission on the 2020 Work Plan progress. Commissioner Peterson indicated on the 2019 review she would like to make a couple of edits. Under Proclamations the second box, the event should be Human Traffic Awareness Month, removing sex. She would change the decorating the third box to better word. She would also remove Rosefest Party in the Park because the Commission did not attend that in 2019. She asked to add in the Rosefest Parade section that the Commission engages community members from the LGBQIA+ to also join with the Commissions and there were a couple of members attend. Chair Beltmann asked if something should also be added under Proclamations that the Commission tied the Rosefest Parade to Pride Month Proclamation. The Commission agreed. Commissioner Peterson thought with the Engagement Project, the assessment tool document should be changed to the tool kit. Chair Beltmann thought her only recommendation would be under Youth Commissioner that a new Youth Commission started. Ms. Olson thought the Council was typically looking for accomplishments and did not know it that would be an accomplishment. The Commission agreed.
