Equity and Inclusion Commission Minutes September 18, 2024 Page 2 of 3 47 movement in the degree to which people living in Roseville feel heard and that their voices are 48 included. 49 50 Commissioner LaGrange hoped that the Commission could have something measurable to show 51 the City that this is not just a performative exercise. There should be some way to measure the 52 actual outcome, where things are moving, and whatever that looks like. 53 54 Youth Commissioner Barze indicated she wants to learn to be a leader in equity and inclusion. 55 She wants to see more kids in school who look like her step up and do more things in that sense. 56 57 Commissioner Goedken indicated she was at the meeting because someone from the previous 58 Commission gave her information. She explained she wants to be a lawyer and thought this 59 Commission would be an excellent opportunity to learn how to do more in the community and 60 help people. 61 62 Commissioner Chan explained he had not formulated any fears; he had prepared for the 63 interview and did think about some things. He indicated that everyone has been exposed to 64 inclusion and equity throughout their lives, and quite often, it depends on where the person 65 comes from and their perception, which can be interpreted in many ways. Suppose it is 66 challenging to find the right way to do things. He wants to understand first, learn, and listen, and 67 not have a perception of what the Commissioners will get out of it right at the beginning. Maybe 68 making a small step is a big step already. There is an environment where the Commission can 69 accomplish a lot. He thought it concernedthem and how the Commission works together. At 70 this point, he is here to learn and listen more. 71 72 Mr. Montez indicated he agreed with everything and would like to do and see the Commission 73 do as well. Equity and inclusion do not need to be a significant initiative that they are doing; it 74 can be about the little things. He loved how this Commission could connect and collaborate with 75 the other Commissions. He also likes that the Youth Commissioners want to help empower the 76 young people in their schools, so the Commission needs to figure out what that looks like and 77 how to make that happen. 78 79 Mr. Montez started a few icebreakers with the Commission for the Commissioners to think about 80 and complete through discussion. 81 82 Mr. Montez also reviewed the Commission’s goals and continued his presentation on GARE, the 83 Equity and Inclusion work plan, SREAP, and his role in the City. 84 85 The Commission discussed equity and inclusion regarding race and youth and how it can 86 develop goals to accomplish them. 87 88 Mr. Montez continued the presentation, explaining the Racial Equity Dividends Report and its 89 components. He indicated that Roseville’s Community Aspirations, Inclusion, and Respect 90 statement, the Strategic Racial Equity Action Plan (SREAP), and his long-range equity and 91 inclusion plan were also important for the Commission.
