Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 11,2024 Page 12 Mayor Roe explained he wanted to acknowledge one of the items in the proposal from the Commission about serving as an ambassador and supporting people's interaction or connection with the City. He thought that was a very good suggestion and something that he would like to do better as a City. He noted that might be something that does not have to be a Commission activity but could be a group of interested parties that can connect with the City's Volunteer Manager and/or Community Engagement Staff and work through a process to have a group of people who are interested in doing that who can be deployable by the City in those situations and be an asset to that connection between what they do as a City and the people that they serve in the community as sometimes that disconnect is out there. He appreciated and acknowledged that, he thought it was important not to get lost in the process. Mayor Roe noted one of the things that came out of their last discussion jointly with the Commission members was how to deal with the human rights part of this because the City does not necessarily do the investigations or that sort of thing. He stated previous Code language talked about educational programs, bringing to the Council issues that seem to be rising in the community on a human rights basis, and perhaps the City needs to be doing something with that. He thought the challenge was lack of clear guidance and it has not always seemed to be something that Commissioners were that interested in doing. He explained there are groups in the community that do an excellent job,Do Good Roseville is one that has done a good job over the years and pushed conversations in the community that have been great. This is something that he was not sure the City, with all of the official restrictions, could have done as effectively. He appreciated that and wanted to make sure the City is taking full advantage of that and not necessarily force a full Commission to be that. He wanted to keep the human rights aspect on the table as a part of this discussion and figure out if there is a way to make it work and how. He did think the notion of being very much advisory to the Strategic Racial Equity Action Plan, both as the City is implementing as well as thinking about adding things in the future, and next steps, makes a lot of sense. Councilmember Schroeder indicated she wanted to blend two things that Councilmembers Groff and Strahan had both touched on. She liked the idea of having them look at the impact statement on the RCA,but thought it was too narrow and the impact statement needs to include the other groups that do not get heard, which is what Councilmember Groff is talking about. She thought possibly this group could help expand that area, not just on the racial side, but the other groups as well so then more voices are heard. Councilmember Schroeder stated the reason she mentioned the MAC is because in the Commission format, it is recorded and very structured. With the MAC format, people can have very raw conversations and she wondered if that format would give people who are underserved a better ability to talk and feel less intimidated. She
